*Well this is interesting...*

Ok, so I know I keep referring to her as 'baby', and I am not sure if I've announced her name on this blog, but she will forever be...

And as I was looking through old pregnancy pics, I came across one from the end of my pregnancy with Camryn... look at this. I look the same size NOW at 34 weeks, as I did with Camryn at 36 weeks. Hmmm...

*34 weeks*

So, A LOT happened this past week!!

After working Thursday night and sleeping some, I got up Friday and got myself together as Daryl's parents came in town to visit for the weekend! We had pizza and just visited with them Friday night, catching up!

Saturday, I got up and got ready and Cam, Mom, Cathy, and I  headed off to Chesterfield to Anna's Pizza for my baby shower (Daryl and his dad went golfing)! It was such a great turn out!! We got so many things we needed and are so excited! Feeling much more prepared! (Side note: This might be TMI, but I woke up and noticed some pinkish colored urine and had some cramps. Made me nervous, but I took it easy and drank ALOT of water throughout the day.) After the shower, mom headed home and when I got home, Daryl and his dad got all the gifts in and I changed clothes and sat my butt in the chair and didn't move. I fell asleep sitting up at about 8:00 and when I woke up, Daryl's parents were gone. I felt so bad, but he assured me that they insisted on leaving so I could get some sleep. Sweet, sweet in-laws. I just love them <3

{{{BABY SHOWER CAKE}}}

Sunday, I got up feeling much more refreshed and we got ready and headed to The Hampton Inn where Daryl's parents are staying and went swimming (we do this every year and Camryn loves it!), I only swam for about 15 minutes but it was heavenly again!!  We had a great time. We left and had lunch at Macado's and headed back home. We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out with his parents and relaxing. When it came time for them to leave, I got teary eyed! Cam didn't want them to go, and I realized, the next time we see them, Camryn will be having to share attention from them with her baby sister... Agh... Things are just hitting me now.

Monday, Daryl headed to work and took Camryn to preschool. I ate breakfast and unpacked all our new baby gifts. Once I was finished (two hours later), I SLEPT!!! And it was actually a good nap!! HaHa. Monday was my RELAX day... and I did. :)

I woke up Tuesday at about 4am with a strange 'pinching' feeling near what I believe to be my cervix area? I tried to use the bathroom and walk it off, but it was nagging. It didn't really go away, but I tried to write it off as baby pressure. I had lunch with mom and went back home and rested, but it didn't go away. So I woke up Wednesday morning and called my GP here in Farmville. I told them my symptoms and that at this point, I believe it to be another (or unresolved from a month ago) UTI. I could tell they wanted me to go see my OB doc, but I explained that is an hour away and that I am sure it's a UTI...So they finally agreed to see me...and guess what, IT IS A UTI. The doc put me on 7 days of Macrobid. Thank youuuuuu. Finally. Explains all the urgency and pink/red urine and spotting. And not to mention how uncomfortable I am. Ugh. I went back home and slept some and worked night shift that night. Talk about feeling bad... I think I peed 25 times. Oh well. Hopefully I will start to feeling better sooner than later.

Thursday... SLEPT. ALL. DAY. That's about it. We had pizza for dinner and took Cam to get a milkshake in our PJ's (we went through the drive thru). Just my sweet little family :)

So, now, I am finally caught up with these blogs. I have been so bad about doing these weekly, and I am sorry!!! I will see ya next week!!! <3

*33 weeks vs 34 weeks*

I just had to show this... Alot of people are commenting on how much I have dropped over the past week or so and when I compared pictures, I thought, "WOW!"

*33 weeks*

So this past week was CRAZYYYY. CRAZY, I tell ya.

Ok, so let me explain...

It started out ok, with my older sister coming in town to visit family and friends for the weekend. I really wasn't feeling so hot, still nauseated pretty bad, but I managed to get myself together and we went to my parents' house Friday night for a little cookout. It was nice, and I lost track of time... I was like 'CRAP!' when I realized it was 10pm and I had to work Saturday morning... So we left and I rushed home to go to sleep. Ugh... 4.5hrs of interrupted sleep is not enough at 33wks pregnant. Buttttttt I made it. 

Saturday and Sunday at work were unfortunately CRAZY busy. I took care of three mother/baby overflow couplets all weekend, which totaled 6 patients, and was so tired come Sunday night that I crashed when I got home!! Sleep sleep sleep!! On a positive note though, I found out that my BFF/cousin is PREGNANT!!! She's 13 weeks. They've been trying for about 16 months, so that was extra special news <3

Like I said last week, I have been trying to pick up extra shifts here and there to make a little extra money to pay a few things down/off before I go out for my FMLA. So, I worked Monday night/Tuesday morning 1-7am. Slept for four hours Tuesday, then I had an OB appt in Lynchburg (an hour away) with the same male doc I saw last time. Daryl actually really liked him. My BP was 144/88, so the doctor didn't love that, but I explained that I had just worked night shift and hadn't slept much, so he told me to try to rest some. Baby's HR was 155 and strong! We were in and out of there within 45 mins, so we grabbed a bite to eat afterwards and went to pick up Cam from my parents' house and headed home.

I worked day shift Wednesday morning (another bonus shift... and yes, I realize I just worked night shift Monday night), and I immediately remembered why I DON'T DO DAY SHIFT DURING THE WEEK anymore. It's so busy and crazy and I feel like I am always being critiqued by 'higher ups'. I feel more tense as well. It was pretty busy and I ended up not leaving until 2pm... So, I worked 7a-2p. I got off, grabbed lunch, and headed home. I ate and fell asleep in the La-Z-Boy for 45 mins and then my alarm went off... I had to freshen up and leave again.. I picked up Cam and headed to meet Daryl at Charley's for dinner. We met his aunt and uncle and grandparents who were passing through on their way to DC for the week. It was nice! Deb and Jeff gave Cam a little purse and BIG SISTER outfit, and gave us a few outfits for our sweet baby girl. His grandma made another beautiful homemade baby blanket... just beautiful! <3 It was really nice to see them all, as we aren't sure if we will see them during the holidays or not this year... We haven't decided if we are traveling to OH/KY or not this year yet... we will see!

I rested up ALOT Thursday and worked that night shift... luckily it was with a good friend, Ashley! We had fun catching up, as she is PRN and lives in VA Beach now. She is one of the sweetest people I know, and she kept me entertained! 

Sooooo that was my crazy busy week! I won't be pulling a work week like that again anytime soon... especially not while pregnant. HaHa. See you all next week!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

**How far along? 33 weeks

**Total weight gain/loss: Ok well... I made up for last week... +3lbs. Pretty sure it's mostly water weight... I worked so much :(

**How Big is Baby?: Up to a HONEYDEW now!! Wt: 4.2-5.8lb and 17-18" long...

**Maternity clothes? Yeah but everything is getting kinda small...eeeeek!!

**Stretch marks? Oh yeah.. I think I can feel new ones come up... it's a 'pulling' feeling. Strange, I know...

**Sleep: Impossible... I am starting to really get uncomfortable and the carpal tunnel really sucks!

**Best moment this week: Friday morning... the work week was over! HaHa

**Movement: All the time. And they hurt sometimes!!

**Food cravings: ICE COLD WATER.

**Gender: Baby girl!!!!!!!

**Labor Signs: Nah...

*32 weeks*

So 32 weeks. THIRTY. TWO. WEEKS. CRAZY!!!

This week, I was SO tired. Almost every day. I slept alot, and the nausea was starting to kick back in. I remember that happening from my last pregnancy, and it make sense... there's no room anymore in there! HaHa. 

Friday night, I worked an extra 'bonus' shift, making a good amount of extra money per hour, and it wasn't too bad. But come Saturday morning, I was ready to hit the sheets. I woke up around 1pm, and Cam and Daryl were just having a chill out day, playing and hanging out. All was going ok, but I started having some crazy heart palpitations... to the point that it scared me. Daryl listened to my heart through a stethoscope and could actually hear my heart skip beats.. He made me drink water, eat, and lay down. It worried him, which made me concerned haha. But after a few hours, I was ok. I think I was dehydrated. But really, I am sort of overdoing it. I am trying to work as much as possible now to get things paid down before I go out on FMLA. Oh well.

Sunday morning, we got up and just went at it with cleaning and organizing. Things are getting down to the nitty gritty and we are starting to panic! We cleaned so much, and I just kept trucking along, and by the afternoon, I was completely wiped out. So tired that I couldn't even shave my legs that night haha! We just rested up and had a nice little family movie night before the week started.

Monday, I got on the phone and finally called and set up my short term disability for when I am out... I will only get paid for the amount of time that my doctor says I need to be out.. So for example, if I were to go out and have the baby naturally the next day, the doctor will say, "Ok, you need to be out of  work for six weeks"... There is still a 'two week wait period', where you don't get paid and they process everything, so I will only be paid for four weeks... and only 60% of my BASE PAY at that. So, that is going to hurt. But as Daryl says, "Atleast we get something, babe..." It will take care of our insurance for while I am out, so that is nice. But still.. why can't the US recognize maternity leave like other countries?! Some countries get MONTHS off with PAID leave. Sheesh. Oh well... it is what it is. I ended up working Monday night, which wasn't bad. We decided to try to potty train Cam at nighttime and after two nights, we thought, 'who cares about this right now' haha. It is HARD and she gets so upset with herself so we are putting that off for now.

Thursday I had lunch with some ladies at work, as a going away celebration for one of my co-workers and to catch up with some of my friends :) We had a staff meeting afterwards and the work ladies had a little cake for the preggos! It was delish! Then I made a grocery trip and headed home. That's about it for this week... see ya next week!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

**How far along? 32 weeks

**Total weight gain/loss: Nada. I didn't gain at all this week! WooHoo!

**How Big is Baby?: Winter Squash... 2.5 - 3.8 lbs.... I doubt that. I am huge!

**Maternity clothes? YES... and they're starting to get a little small in the belly... and my t-shirts are getting VERY short!

**Stretch marks? Oh yeah.. I think I can feel new ones come up... it's a 'pulling' feeling. Strange, I know...

**Sleep: Comes and goes. If I get sleepy and am able to lay down, I do!

**Best moment this week: Sleep when I am able. HaHa.

**Movement: All the time. And they hurt sometimes!!

**Food cravings: Quesadillas!!

**Gender: Baby girl!!!!!!!

**Labor Signs: Nah...

*31 Weeks*

And 31 weeks... hereeee we go!!

I know I say it every week, but time really is flying on by. I can't believe that we are getting into the '30s' weeks now. I tell Daryl almost every day that we are getting so close. It's crazy!!

So this past week was actually quite eventful.. except for the weekend... I worked Saturday and Sunday with a cool nurse, so it was a good weekend. Not too busy, and what's even better, is the swelling is keeping itself at bay. It's really not too bad yet, which is NICE. My hips continue to hurt pretty bad, but I manage :) While I was at work, Daryl bought some Dreft baby detergent and washed ALL the baby clothes from age Newborn to 6 months, folded, and hung them up. So awesome!! They smell soooo good and I cannot believe it was time to have to do that... CRAZY!! Random note: At work all weekend, I CRAVED chicken salad... so weird. But I did. And I made some during the week and ate the whole batch. HaHa.

Now Monday was interesting. I relaxed during the day and straightened up the house some, then went and picked up Cam from school. Daryl and I were planning on meeting at the grocery store to do some grocery shopping, so Cam and I killed some time and got milkshakes before :) ...here's the big part... It was super, super crowded and Camryn decided to throw what I believe to be the biggest tantrum of her life (so far)... While Daryl was holding her, I decided to finish the shopping quickly, and as I got something out of the freezer section, I turned and walked back to the cart and slipped and fell on something wet on the floor (no, there was no caution sign). I landed on all fours and when I fell, my back arched really bad because of the weight of my belly. It hurt, and scared me to death. I got up, and instead of being cool about it, I stomped away and started bawling crying. Daryl was clueless of what to do because Cam was still being difficult and I was crying... poor thing. Well, we decided to go home and take it easy, but I texted a fellow nurse, who is also an OB nurse, and she told me that I needed to go get monitored to be sure everything is ok...sooooo I did. Mom met us at the hospital at 9pm to get Cam and take her home and I was monitored in OB for about 4hrs. Everything was fine, but boy we were so tired the next day. And my back hurt really bad, but I rested up and it eased up. But talk about scary :(

So, Camryn has decided to get back into having pee accidents during naptime at school and throwing horrible tantrums. I talked to Daryl one night this week and we decided that we are going to try to watch the level of our voices when we get irritated with her and remind each other often to RELAX some and just remember... she is only 3, and she knows big changes are coming, as if things aren't already changing some. She's been good I think, but can be VERY honoury when she wants to be. I talked to her for a while and she said she understood 'no more yelling' and to be patient and talk to us if she wants something... because let's face it, once baby arrives, things can get hectic enough without yelling and getting aggravated easily. So that's something the three of us have been working on and it seems to be working well :)

Wednesday morning was our 30wk doctor's appt. Daryl went on to work because my mom asked if she could go to one appt with me and see an Ultrasound, so she went with me this time. Baby girl is BEAUTIFUL and active and big haha. She is measuring at 4lbs10oz right now!! Her heart rate was 148. They said everything looks great! I had to see a different doctor because my doctor was on vacation, but I know that's common at this point because my appts are every two weeks now... no biggie. I went and had a pedicure afterwards then went home and napped.

Thursday I was just really sleepy all day, so I slept. ALOT. And I don't feel guilty about that one bit. HaHa. I got put on call for work that night, which was ok. Every once in a while, that's nice :)

See you all next week!!

*Week 30*

Week 30!!!

So this past week we went on vacation!! We went to the mountains, to Massanutten, like we do every year, with my parents, and had a great, relaxing time. 

We left Friday morning and headed up there. We stopped at Carter Mountain and bought some freshly picked peaches and nectarines and then continued on our way. Little did we know, our Camryn is a HUGE fan on nectarines :) I started to feel bad after a few hours and realized that the Tdap vaccine I received caused me to feel bad. I laid down and napped once we arrived and took Tylenol. It definitely helped and I felt better the next day.

We realized that Camryn is FEARLESS in the pool. She's a water baby... so that means it's time for swimming lessons. I, however, felt WEIGHTLESS in the pool, and that was AWESOME! Until I got out... then it was like sumo wrestler Bonnie... It's amazing, the difference you feel?! 

Camryn LOVED the hottub <3

So I craved sweets, all week long. Baby girl liked them, too, because she kicked ALL. WEEK. LONG. ALL. THE. TIME. Everyone, including my dad, got to feel her kick. She's getting BIG and STRONG!! HeHe I love it!!

Daryl and my dad golfed alot and had a blast. They took a day off and we all went to the Water Park and let Cam play. I didn't swim, but just watched and thoroughly enjoyed that. She had a blast, and I think Daryl did, as well :)

Everything was going fine, even though my sleep was about non-existent, until Thursday morning, when I noticed that my urine was a slight pinkish color and I spotted some.. SCARED ME TO DEATH. I waited it out, because it wasn't alot, but when it was still there come Friday morning, I called my OB doc and she suggested I visit an urgent care to have a urine test done, as she suspected a UTI. My thoughts: kidney stone, because it's the same symptoms I had when I got my stone last year. BUT... Daryl insisted we head to Lynchburg since we were going home that day anyway and have me seen. They did a urine test and declared a UTI. I got x3 days of Amoxicillin and was on my way. I'm still not convinced it's not the beginnings of a stone, but time will tell. The upside: My BP was 128/74. NICE!!

Me after we got home from vacation, just relaxing...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

**How far along? 30 weeks

**Total weight gain/loss: Eeekk I am blaming it on vacation... +3 lbs.

**How Big is Baby?: Winter Squash... 2.5 - 3.8 lbs... Interesting??

**Stretch marks? LOL

**Sleep: BAD. Just, bad.

**Food cravings: SWEETS!!! E.L. Fudge cookies. LOL Random.

**Gender: Baby girl!!!!!!!

**Labor Signs: Nope!.. Just some Braxton Hicks.

*Week 29*

Week 29!!!

So, wow. This past week was so super busy, it, yet again, flew on by!!

Friday morning, I got up super early and met up with mom and went to Richmond where we bought our car and had them detail it and put the ProPak on it. It took about 8hrs, and we had a rental car for the time being, We went and visited MawMaw and had lunch. It was a nice day, and I enjoyed it, but boy oh boy was I SWOLLEN afterwards!! My feet were like balloons! I got home that night and Daryl insisted I put my feet up, b/c guess what... I worked ALL WEEKEND. Saturday and Sunday, all day both days. It was going ok until about noon on Sunday, when I began to get a bad headache and feel just 'off'.' I made it through the day and went home and celebrated Father's Day with my sweet family (Cam made Daryl a sweet gift from school and he teared up!! It was so sweet). I luckily got put on call Monday night and got to rest more, which was nice.

I got my haircut and colored again on Wednesday, and then went and picked up my Cam from school during her naptime (her teachers had told us that she was coughing alot Tuesday), and that night was pretty hard. She was up most of the night coughing, so we gave her some medicine to help her. She gets into these little coughing fits sometimes and they're so terrible. Luckily, we go this one under control and she slept ok for a few hours. Being up with a sick kiddo makes this pregnant mama super sleepy!!!

On a great note, my BP has been GREAT. Staying under the max that my ob doc told me if needs to be. 

Thursday morning was the big, dreaded appointment!! I had my glucose test. I told Daryl to go on to work and I went alone, because seriously, he didn't need to sit with me for an hour while that nasty red drink sat in my stomach and made me nauseated haha. But, I PASSED!!! I got my Tdap shot as well. Afterwards, I headed back to Farmville and met up with Daryl and we had a nice little date lunch at Macado's. Then I had a two hour staff meeting, following with picking up Camryn and taking her to gymnastics. Then we headed home and had dinner and packed for vacation. PHEW. Talk about an exhausting day!!!  

Next week we go on vacation!!! Come back to hear all about it!! <3

*28 weeks*

28 weeks... Time just continues to fly by!! So hard to believe<3

So this week was mine and Daryl's FIVE YEAR wedding anniversary! We wanted to do something fun, and wanted to include Camryn, so we decided to go to Holliday Lake for the day on Saturday, about thirty minutes from our house. We had a BLAST!! While they played in the water most of the time, I saw my preggo behind in the chair under the umbrella on the sand, where I lathered myself in suntan lotion and drank water... yet, I STILL swelled, BAD. It was one of those "put your feet up" kinda of evenings,,, and my amazing hubby moved the crib into the nursery!! It continues to all come along!!

So the rest of the week, after that, just kind of zoomed on by. One awesome thing that happened was that Camryn felt her baby sister kick. Her little eyes just lit up and she smiled so big. Made my heart melt <3 

I am continuing to wear my glasses more because my eyes are just so incredibly dry. It's so annoying! I worked Monday night and slept alot Tuesday, per the usual. Well, 'slept', if that's what ya call it. HaHa. Not happening much these days with bathroom trips and my hips hurting so bad. 

I have become OBSESSED with the show The Walking Dead. I didn't think I would ever like a show like that, but it's addicting. 4 SEASONS in two weeks... pathetic, Bon. 

Wednesday, Daryl went to the doctor because he's been having trouble with choking/swallowing when he eats certain foods. The NP told him that she thinks he has severe GERD and started him on Protonix to see how he does. He will follow up in a month, so I will update on that soon. 

Other than that, I don't have much else to update on!! I will be writing again for next week soon!! Love you all!!
