.

Got one loaf of bread made and another in the bread machine. I also have a double batch of bagels in rising.
While waiting on the breads i got a load of laundry in and part of the house picked up. I also have the bathroom all wiped down but i have to go back and sweep and mop before it's finished.

Bagels will be done rising in about 15min. and then i have to do all the rest of the steps which is time consuming. Guess no nap for me today in less Bob lets me take one when he gets home before youth group. Won't cross my fingers on that one because he will probably have to write up what we will be talking about tonight. Oh well i'll be ok... i just feel soooooo tired!

Last night i came into the kitchen about 4:30pm-ish. I was being a slacker. I knew i had thawed meat in the frig that i needed to prep and get into meals (It was meant for freezer crock pot meals) and i had a MOPs meeting at 6pm and neither of the girls or me were dressed and ready either.

So i started in! I ended up putting together 3 freezer crock pot meals in about an hour! And most of the stuff cleaned up (by that i mean things put in the freezer and frig and dirty dishes in the sink and counters wiped)
I was so proud of myself!

This is what i put together:

• Beef Stew
• Loaded Baked Potato Soup
• Meatloaf with Rosemary Potatoes

So i decided we needed some pictures. Hubby was the photographer for the group shots, i did the ones of just the girls.

So i'll be 35 weeks along tomorrow. Excited about that!

You know how they say your clumsiness increases when you are this far along, well it sure does! Sunday evening while we were over at my our pastors house hanging out i went to go from the living room to the kitchen to get some more water. Well i got distracted by what someone said and ran full force into the door frame. My cup of ice with a little water in it went flying, made a fairly big mess and broke their cup. I wasn't hurt, just totally embarrassed! It was really funny though. Glad i could make everyone laugh :) I laughed so hard! But i totally blame it on the pregnancy you know hehe

I know several weeks ago i mentioned how hard dressing was now because things are fitting... well it's doubly worse now. I think i only have a select few shirts that work now :( Pants fit better though. Now that my stomach is bigger it's holding up the pants better lol

Today is bath day for me and the girls. I don't give the girls bath everyday because i don't want to dry out their hair and skin... same thing for me, especially now. My belly gets dry to quick that i don't dare take a shower very often. I oil big time after every bath but i think i need to start doing it even more because i'm starting to see more stretch marks :( Grrr for that!
Anyways i said that because after bath time today i ask Bobby if he would be willing to take pictures of me and the girls with my preggo belly. He agreed so i will try to set up a little photo shoot area up and pick us out some outfits. I'm looking forward to it. Hoping to get some cute ones i can photoshop and make look great. Going to look on pinterest for some posing ideas :)

Speaking of that i have so much to do so i'm going to run!

I really don't feel like i can stretch any more! This is the biggest i have ever been out of my pregnancies and still have 37+ days left >_< UGH

Also you can see most of my veins in my belly, it's pretty icky looking. It's like my skin is translucent. How more can it stretch? Woe is me!

I know it's not as designer as some are but it is to me. I love it. Very simple. Can't wait to get the crib in with my newly sewn crib bumper and sheets! That will help it feel more like a nursery :)

Also with my produce i did a few of these helpful tips (HERE) also a pinterest find. Like putting my herbs stems in a jar of water with a bag over it in the frig, mushrooms in a brown paper bag, wrapping your banana stems in plastic and onions hung like this:


And i decided to put breakfast together for in the morning too. Also a pinterest find and the recipe is listed in the above link. It's a crock pot Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal. That way when we get up in the morning for church i don't have to think about what to make for breakfast!


My routine is that with grocery shopping also comes cleaning out the frig of any bad left overs and spoiled food, and wiping off the shelves. I find that if you take a few second to wipe off the shelves when they are at their emptiest your frig stays sooooo much cleaner and it's really easy to do!

I also grabbed out some meat from the freezer to thaw over night in the frig so that tomorrow i can quickly put together a couple meals on the meal plan. They are crock pot meals which you can prepare and freeze ahead of time. It's my first time doing it but i think it will be fun!

Well dinner is almost done. Better run!

I should rename this blog 'Diary of a Grumpy Pregnant Woman' because i feel like i complain a lot. I know i do and i feel bad that i do. I try to act better around Hubby but when i'm writing it's hard not to let it all out!

Last night was horrible! I woke up at about 4:30am-ish in terrible pain. I was having cramps/contractions only on my right side, every 4 minutes that would last 1 minute long. It hurt so bad i had trouble breathing sometimes. I was really starting to worry big time. Bob woke up and asked what he could do. For awhile all i had him do was hold my hand so i could squeeze it. Then i had him go get me some pain pills and extra pillows so i could try some different position. I was about to get up and try a warm bath or call my midwife and go somewhere to get checked out.
I put my bed flat and got flat on my left side and stretched out my legs straight and after awhile the pain each time started to lessen. I'm not sure if it was changing positions or the pain pills or if the pain just was going away on it's own but about an hour of all of this i was able to finally fall asleep.

Not sure what all that was about but so glad it stopped on it's own and i didn't have to go somewhere and get checked out.

Luckily (I think of it more as God being kind) the girls didn't wake up till 9:30am so i was able to get some sleep. Still today though i feel sucky. I want to cry at everything.... i have broken down and cried. I can't ever feel comfortable anywhere. The house is a mess, i'm suppose to be taking it as easy as possible and i'm soooo stressed out.

Haaa do i have much to say? 33wks equals lots of uncomfortable pressure and pain and just over all feeling icky. BUT it does so in waves. For the last few days i have been starting to feel queasy in the afternoon right before lunch and keeps on going till i go to sleep. Not to mention all the pain this huge baby is giving me. But i should be use to it by now. I'm excited about getting closer and closer to meeting my little bugger :) I hope he looks like his Daddy!
My babyfit.com says i have 49days to go till i'm 40wks. A tad hard to believe but then on the other hand it's like that long? I will admit i have been stressing over labor and going through it again. It's not fun and the after part isn't fun either except for the baby of course... i mean what your body goes through. And getting use to nursing again... hopefully the baby has no issues learning to nurse cause that can be difficult. Haa but all of that is worth it of course. I do so look forward to sleep any oh which way again and not worrying about the babes. I wonder if i still will want to sleep sitting up or not? I will have to experiment with that.
Man and if i think about it there is still a bit of stuff i might should do before the baby comes. Should probably get on that. I think Hubs is feeling the impending arrival too cause he mentioned about stressing about all the things he thinks about that needs to be done first.

Baby will be here before we know it! It's crazy! You know i complain a lot but i hope you also know that i am truly uber excited about having this baby! And i can't wait! I'm just a bad pregnant person but i do love my kids!

So far some fun this Valentines day morning i decided to finally make that homemade playdough i have been wanting to make. I used butter containers to make containers for each of the different colors and used scrapbook paper with correlating colors to cover up the butter logos. I also put cherry extract in the playdough to make it smell yummy!

Then after nap time i let them pick out whatever dress they wanted to wear. And when they came out of their room they where shocked to see the surprise Grandpa had sent them sitting on the table.
















Then they got a surprise in the mail from Their Uncle Woody and Aunt Judy!
