7 MONTHS!!!

Oh my goodness I seriously feel like this pregnancy is flying by! You would think that I would feel like it is going by so slow, but I told myself this pregnancy I will enjoy every moment and I have, minus the 1st trimester. When you think July it still seems so far away, but then when you think full term is considered 37 weeks and this little angel 'could' be here in 9 weeks is crazy! I wont lie though I hope that isn't the case and she stays in till 40 weeks. I love me a chunky newborn:) If its anything like it was with Rylee I probably wont have this baby till 41 weeks with an induction. I am going to hope and pray this baby comes on her own though. I had a really good induced labor with Rylee but I want to be able to experience the going into labor naturally. We will see though either way it happens as long as she is healthy I am totally fine with that. For some reason this time around I am so so so so so so so nervous about labor! I can't really pin point why, but I am pretty nervous about it. We can't wait to meet this sweet girl!
Not much as changed in the last 4 weeks other than my weight. At my last appointment I weighed 130 and on my scale it says I am at 135. That makes me a little nervous only cause I got to 145 with Rylee and I am getting closer and closer to that number. I know I shouldn't worry seeing as a still "look" tiny, but it is still stressful. I wont lie though that number WILL NOT stop me from eating. I have started to drink 64oz of water a day and that has really helped with keeping me from getting hungry an hour after I have eaten plus it has helped so much with water retention. I didn't realize how much water I was retaining till after I started drinking more water. My fingers and toes can get pretty swollen, but that happens even when I'm not pregnant. (Thanks Mom) I had to say goodbye to my wedding and toe rings. Its actually kind of scary when you have them on and start to swell!
I have been feeling her move around so much more! She loves to hang out on the right side with her sweet little feet right under my ribs. It can get pretty uncomfortable at times, but I still love it! She is totally our child when it comes to sleep! Very active starting out at about 10pm till about 12am and then is calm and passed out until the next day around 10am. I pretty much would love that schedule when she is born! Lets just hope she is like Rylee when Rylee was a newborn. Slept through the night at 2 weeks old and didn't get moving till about 8 or 9am. Best advice I was ever given by my mother, "Never wake a sleeping baby." In the hospital they were so weird with me waking Rylee up every 2 to 3 hours. After I left the hospital and literally got zero sleep due to that I finally took my moms advice and did not wake her and let her figure out her own schedule and voila she was sleeping and eating at a wonderful schedule. Lesson learned!!! As for me when it comes to being pregnant and sleeping I don't have a problem at all! As soon as I hit the bed I am zonked out! I miss sleeping on my belly and I have cheated a lot when it comes to sleep. I am not a big fan of side sleeping  so I fall asleep on my back and if I end up on my side I end up there, but I normally get wonderful sleep.
Now I just can't wait till it gets hot so I can buy Rylee a pool and me just hang out in it with her to get some sun! Her is the recent belly pic:)
27 weeks with both:)
