one. 39 weeks.
It’s finally here… I’m 39 weeks pregnant. As discussed with my doctor, if Ailey doesn’t come on her own in a few days, I’m going to be induced. I’ve been feeling lots of contractions, lower back pain, and she has seriously dropped – but I just don’t know if she will come on her own. We’ve typed up the Eviction Notice and shall see if it needs to be served.
two. girls rule.
I know I speak for probably 75% of the female population right now – but HOLY SMOKES. The U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team is so incredible! I think they’re leotards should say, “Girl Power” on the back. My Mom and I loved watching the uneven bar event on Tuesday night with Annabelle because I feel it’s important she should see strong, confident woman athletes. The first time I put on Women’s Soccer she asked why girls were playing the boy sport. I don’t want my daughter growing up to think that sports are for boys.
three. preschool.
Annabelle is moving on up from baby school to preschool this year. She is attending a morning school program two days a week at our church and seems to be rather excited. Sadly, we might miss the first official day of school if baby sister decides to grace us with her presence. I’m hoping it might be a good thing since I know the first day will be hectic and probably filled with lots of crying kiddies – which would upset her. So, I’m okay with her starting late! We will just wait and see what happens though.
four. Grub Burger Bar.
If you ever get a chance to try out a Grub Burger Bar, you MUST. I normally don’t eat red meat, fried food, or drink milkshakes (tummy troubles), but when you’re at the end of your pregnancy and get a craving, you do what you want. I felt like I was in heaven while eating a bacon cheeseburger with special sauce, crispy french fries, and a mini vanilla milkshake. Later that evening I was sick as a dog, but every bite was totally worth it. When I’m not pregnant, I’m going to go in there and get their Birthday Cakefetti Shake (it has vodka in it!).
five. decisions.
- Co- sleepers– I am torn between two different co-sleepers for Ailey. I know that she will spend time in our bed, and since Annabelle likes to join us in the big bed as well, I will feel safer knowing she is in her own little cocoon. The DockATot Deluxe Dock and the SwaddleMe by Your Side Sleeper have both received great reviews… there are just a huge price difference and different benefits between the two. Does anyone own either co-sleeper? I would love your thoughts and opinions!
- Diaper Bag – I really do NOT like the SkipHop Diaper Bag I used with Annabelle, so I need to find something else to use with the girls. I’ve been hunting for a simple bag that looks like a purse, but can be used as a diaper bag for months. I can’t make a decision. Has anyone ever used their Large Longchamp Le Pliage with an insert as a diaper bag?
