brushing Joanna's teeth

We finally decided to buy Joanna a toothbrush and toothpaste made just for toddlers. Oh how her breathe stinks in the morning! Ugh. I have been cleaning her mouth, teeth, and gum with a wet cloth. It was time for a different option (toothbrush/paste).

You are able to see Matt brushing Joanna's teeth for the first time. Before that, Joanna was using her toothbrush as a "hair-combing" brush. Ha!

Still feeling BLAH

Well if you asked me how I'm doing or how I am feeling... I'll say this from now on... I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.  I look like I am about to explode!  No kidding!  Of course, I feel heavier and YES, I'm so ready for my baby to come!  Although, I have 6 more days until I am considered "full term"...  YEAH! (good thing) If you're wondering, I'm actually hoping and praying that the baby stays until he is considered full-term or unless God choses otherwise.

Just the other day, I found a scale. I haven't stepped on one in a while except for when I was visiting my friend at her house.  I couldn't believe how much I have gained!  I wasn't sure if the scale was broken or whatnot. So I went and found a scale at the store and weighted myself again.  My oh my, I am so overweighted!! With Joanna, I gained somewhere around 35-37 pounds.  But with this one, I have gained 47- 48 pounds!!!  10 to 12 pounds more?!?  Oh my!!!  It's no wonder I am feeling very uncomfortable lately.  Yes, my stomach looks BIG!  Everyone knows it when they see me.  I have been teased constantly about it which I don't mind at all.  I know how I look.  Pfftft.

But yes, my pelvis area hurts.  :(  I'll tell you this, I hurt when I walk, when I get up to go to the restroom, when I turn over to the side while I am sleeping and even when I'm sitting down!  Oh, poor me!  Poor poor poor ooooooooooh poor Saaaand-raaaa!  Hey I can pity myself, right?  Ha.  But yeah, I know it's all a part of being pregnant.  I'm just updating you about how I am feeling.  Still feeling BLAH.

Guess what?  I was able to scheduled an appointment with the same doctor I had with Joanna.  I'm happy about that.  I'll be seeing her next week.  My appointment is at 1:15pm on Wednesday, December 14th.  That is the last day of week 36!!  I'll turn 37 weeks the next day!!  Come on baby boy, hang in there!!  It would be crazy if he decided to come when I see the doctor or the day after.  I was just thinking about that.

Well... that's about all I can say about myself until I see the doctor.

Pelvis pain?

My pain started happening after I got home from the Women of Worth meeting last night. As I was getting ready for bed, I felt what felt like a loose bone down my pelvis area being moved or something. I started to feel some pain and discomfort.

Today, I did some research about the pelvic pain and it's common. It'll say stuff like the baby has dropped and is getting ready to position itself for birth. WOW. It won't be much longer! It is no wonder I'm having such a hard time laying down, getting up from bed and walking. Just about everything! I haven't been able to sleep well last night. So I am basically tired.

Right now, I am currently sitting down where there's cushioned seats. If I sit on something that's not cushioned then I'll be hurting as I try to get up. Ugh.

I feel this baby will come sooner that January 5th. Don't you agree?
