4 weeks to go :)

I've been trying to keep this up to date more but with the last few weeks of this pregnancy my mind has pretty much gone to scrambled eggs. I don't always forget things but I just feel like I'm running on fumes. I just have to keep reminding myself that I only have 4 weeks left :) :) :) 

Some days I realize that I am going to miss being pregnant but other days I just can't wait for it all to be over. I haven't really been in much pain or discomfort up until this last month. About 7 months along I started getting really uncomfortable pains in my stomach (yeah, gotta love those Braxton hicks.) Then very recently I have been VERY and I mean VERY uncomfortable when I sleep. Before I got pregnant, I always slept on my stomach. Now that I'm getting bigger, it's getting harder to try and find a comfortable position to sleep. I recently spoke with my sister and she suggested to put a pillow between my legs and then that way the bottom of my stomach could rest on that instead of laying it on the bed. Let me tell you that my sister was EXACTLY right. Last night was the first night that I actually slept without waking up every hour on the hour. I just hope that I can continue to sleep well. I know that sleep is pretty much gone since I'm pregnant and now that I will have a newborn baby but it's nice to be able to get some kind of sleep while I can.

I was going through my checklist the other day and realized that there are a few things that I still need but thankfully with each passing day, I am able to either order the item I'm missing or am able to find a family or friend who is willing to help us out. Recently, I put the word out that I was looking for a baby bassinet and thankfully a friend from our church let us know that since his wife was expecting twins this time around that they were going to be buying a bigger bassinet and that they were going to be selling their other one. I was so grateful to find this out and was even more grateful for the WONDERFUL price that they were able to offer me. This bassinet probably goes for around $100-150 and they sold it to us for $40. This bassinet is lovely and I can't wait until we can officially use it. 

I want to give a big shout out to my husband before I forget. Recently, my back has started hurting so much that it's unbearable. I've tried to do what I can to relieve the pain but nothing has helped. I told my husband what was going on and he took care of me. Rubbed my back, gave me Tylenol, comforted me, drew me a hot bath (let me tell you that this really helps,) etc. I know that most husband's deal with alot of crap while their wives are pregnant and I just want to say that my husband and grinned and beared it through it all. I love him unconditionally and I'm glad that he can still love me even through this all. :) .
