Bump #2 / 31 Weeks



Well, we’re getting closer and closer and as a result, I'm getting more and more excited! I'm also getting more and more nasueous + tired and forgetting the simplest things. but that’s another story for another day. This mama is struggling with nasuea + insomnia like it’s nobody’s business. i guess it’s just good practice for all the middle of the night milk parties that are gonna take place after everyone else is asleep at our home once baby arrives.  

While i might be more of a negative this round (although i’m trying not to be really. I really am!), Russell and Kylie are nothing short of ecstatic. It’s nice too because they always know how to boost my mood and help me get excited again. Russell has been pushing for the name Dante, and one day I said, “but that sounds like a spanish kids name to me” to which Russell said, "well...we do live in west valley!" lol. 

Besides my routine check-ups at my regular doctor’s office, I've been getting some extra attention and love and care each day at home thanks to my in-house nurses (my amazing mom, mother-in-law, and hot Russell). These last few weeks of pregnancy are always a little up and down for me. after 30-something weeks, you forget you’re not going to be pregnant forever and that this is almost over.  It’s kind of a bittersweet.  It's like, I'm ready to be able to lean down and pick something up off the floor with ease, or tie my shoe, or just roll onto my stomach at night when I'm sleeping.  I'm ready to not be throwing up in pain anymore, because that sucks. I'm anxious to just hold my baby, and know for certain that he is healthy and alright. But mostly, I'm ecstatic to meet my little one and to feel all the good and peace and love a new baby brings.
