Week 33

     So, hello everyone. These last two weeks have been fun. Last Sunday was the first in the weekly Ultimate Frisbee games. Nathan and Drake had a blast! Kinsley and I sat on the sidelines on a blanket eating lunch and generally hanging out. That is until she saw her daddy running up and down the field. This was a problem for her because she does not like uneven terrain, at all, so she would not leave the blanket. Well after about 20 minutes she decided her love of her daddy was bigger than her fear of the grass. Next thing you know mommy is chasing Kinsley up and down the field (sometimes in the middle of the action). Got the greatest picture of her as we were headed to the car after 2 hours of running!

     Looks like she is taking a victory lap.

     This week was filled with taking Kinsley to and from school, getting Drake to and from the bus stop, and a doctors visit for myself and Kam! The doctors visit went surprisingly well. It was the first visit I did not have Kinsley in tow so it was a quiet visit to boot! We went ahead and scheduled the date for the c-section. Its June 3rd. Since my last two little ones were born at 37 weeks gestation, there is a good chance Kam will still be an emergency c-section. Basically he can be here anytime between 4 and 6 weeks!! Holy cow... where did the time go?
     Anyways, Saturday was pretty standard, just food shopping and church. The real fun came today, Sunday Funday! Today started with Fuse, which is always a good time. Then we raced home and literally inhaled our lunch, and back in the car we go for another round of Ultimate Frisbee. Kinsley ran up and down the field and also ran on the track. The boys had a great time. Made some awesome plays! After an hour and a half both Kinsley and I were beat! So off to the car we trudged. Within 20 minutes Kinsley was sleeping in the carseat and I was relaxing. I'm pretty sure I messed with my sciatic nerve chasing this little girl. Finally enough was enough and I called out to my husband that we were leaving. He promptly yelled "Ok, come on Drake, Mom says its time to go." Then the other guys that were playing were yelling at him about how they needed him for one more game to which he replied, "Sorry, Mom says I have to go home..." Once we were all piled up in the car Daddy and I decided to treat the family to frogurt. It was delicious! Now we are finally back at home for roughly an hour then out the door we go for Nathans bowling league championships and pizza party! Not much rest for this family but we wouldn't have it any other way! Now on to the baby update....



How far along: 33 weeks, or officially 8 months.
Total weight gain: 32 lbs. Oh well, I am no longer mad about the weight gain. After all, I gained a total of 36 with Drake.
Maternity clothes: Pretty much the same deal.
Stretch marks: Glad to relay, none whatsoever!
Sleep: Still broken but when I'm out, I'm out! Apparently a large mirror fell off of the wall in the middle of the night and I heard nothing!
Best moment: Finally getting the crib and bassinet set up for Kamden. So exciting to get out all the baby stuff!
Movement: Not as much as before, Kam is slowing down. I think he is running out of womb! Now it is more rolling and poking than kicking and punching.
Food cravings: Nothing imparticular, just food. Lots and lots of food! I always seem to want to eat but its small quantities. 
Symptoms: Pretty quiet in symptomville. Although if i can hear someone chewing with their mouth open, I get a little nauseous.
Anything making me nauseous or sick: Just the open mouth eating, oh and bad smells. Man do they do me in!
Temperament: Good ole me! Only tired from chasing Kinsley all the time.


     Well I have got to get this published and then we are off (again). I think we are only visiting the dog at this point! See y'all later!!

31 Weeks


How far along: 31 weeks
Total weight gain: Umm 29lbs. In my defense I only gained 3lbs between Doctor visits which is right on
Maternity clothes: Still in either maternity pants or jammies. I also made two skirts which can be either maternity or non maternity :)
Stretch marks: No. Yea!
Sleep: Broken as always. Guess its God's way of preparing me for the broken sleep I will have in a few short weeks. Although in all fairness, being completely rested seems a better plan than being tired right out of the gate.
Best moment: Realizing that given my history of delivering at 37 weeks, there is a very good possibility that in just 6 short weeks, Mr. Kamden will be making his debut! Wow, this pregnancy has gone by lightening quick. Better get busy on getting everything together for him.
Movement: Practically nonstop. This kid is ridiculous! Even as I am typing this, he is kicking the part of the laptop resting on my belly.
Food cravings: These last few weeks I have been craving liquid like non other. I feel like a fish. Just about everything is fair game. As for food, the Whiskey River BBQ burger at Red Robin. It's stupid good!
Symptoms: Incredible pain where the top of my belly and the bottom of my bra collide. Talk about constant pain. It feels as though I have a bruise and constantly being pushed on.
Anything making me nauseous or sick: Stupid orange juice. I love juice in general but I have to read ingredients because if an orange even looked at the bottle I'm getting sick.
Temperament: Feeling good, outside of the sleep deprivation and upper belly pain. I will miss it (barely) when its over.

     This last Doctors visit was ok, glad I gained only 3lbs. from now on I should only gain 1 pound per week. They were looking over my chart and decided I should probably get a Tdap shot so Kam will have my antibodies in his system when he was born. I am all for taking any and all pain so my little ones don't have to, so I got shot in the arm. What they neglected to tell me was for the next 4 days my arm would be basically useless and in quite a bit of pain if I raised it or laid on it. Another wonderful contributing factor to my not so restful nights. Oh well, one less shot for Kam right?
     Well goodnight y'all I'm tired and figure if i go to sleep now, I should manage a few hours of good sleep and a few of crap sleep... yea....
