Well it has definitely been a hot minute since I did one of these (6 weeks to be exact) and that is for a few reasons. Recently Kyle and I both made the joint decision to cut his sister out of our lives, and unfortunately she was still getting updates from certain people despite both of us blocking and deleting her on all social media. At first this really rubbed me the wrong way because in my opinion, she does not deserve to see any aspect of how we live our lives, especially when it comes to our daughter. However, after talking to some amazing people who have gone through similar situations I realized enough was enough, why give her the satisfaction of thinking she is keeping our family members that love Everly from seeing her grow. Kyle and I have come so far in this journey together and I want to show people the love that comes from failed attempts and losses, that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that family members deserve to soak her in and enjoy her personality when she is born. I'm not one to come out and put our personal issues with family out on the table, but I think slowly people have begun to see it on their own, and it has been something Kyle and I both have battled a long time with, but I think we both have found peace with our choices and know deep down it is for the best.
ASIDE from all that nonsense, summer is truly kicking my ass. Never be this pregnant in the summer ever again Kayla, it is true torture. I also only have like 3 weeks left of work which seems so crazy and surreal to me. I have grown to truly love my job and my team, so leaving them will be pretty hard. Also, Everly is due in like 57 days, which again is so surreal. Time has gone so fast and I can see why people miss being pregnant, I am never alone and she always lets me know she is there, it has truly been a magical experience.
How far along? 32 weeks
Total weight gain? I've gained a total of 20lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yes sir! How do people go back to regular clothes after giving birth haha, these are so comfy!
Stretch marks? Yeah.
Sleep? This is one thing that is different about my last update, I don't sleep anymore ha. I get up every 5 minutes to pee and I wish I was lying when I said that. I also HATE sleeping on my side, so it's been a challenge.
Best moment this week? We got to see her one last time and it was amazing. My whole heart just filled with excitement.
Miss anything? Sleep
Movement? Her movements have become more dragged out as opposed to prominent kicks like they used to be. I can now see and feel her drag her entire leg across my belly haha it's both creepy and amazing.
Food cravings? Strawberries and chocolate milk. These have become everyday staples
Anything making you feel sick or queasy? The heat has been really getting to me, it makes me feel light headed a lot and I recently threw up because of it.
Showing? Yeah I'm all baby now.
Gender? GIRL!!!
Labor signs? None.
Symptoms? Just feeling sick due to the heat, also my ankles are always swollen.
Belly button in or out? it's popped out now.
Wedding ring on or off? They are officially off full time :(
Happy or moody most of the time? I pretty much break even lol
Looking forward to: Getting the rest of her stuff ready, like the car seat and all that jazz!
