Thanksgiving 2017! - 38 weeks!

Hit 38 weeks today - still strange to think that #3 could arrive anytime now.  Tyler was 2 weeks early and KK was 2 days late.  Who knows when this one will make his arrival!  I've been trying to really slow down the last week or so and try to enjoy the remaining weeks of this pregnancy.  It's definitely been a tricky one.  Physically no big deal but emotionally it's been quite a roller coaster!  Being pregnant this time around has really made me take a step back and re-examine and re-prioritize things in our lives.  Hopefully all changes are for the better!

My favorite part of pregnancy has always been feeling the baby move.  I remember loving the feeling when I was pregnant with Tyler and KK, but it was hard to actually 'remember' what the feeling felt like.  How quickly we forget!  #3 has been a crazy mover/shaker from the beginning.  Sometimes I feel like he's playing drums in there in the middle of the night - like literally my stomach would be moving with a beat.  

The last 3 weeks I've had the worst cough.  My OB prescribed a z-pack after 2 weeks of non stop coughing.  It was keeping me up at night and exhausting me all day.  Then I pulled a muscle on my back shoulder (napping on our foam beanbag!) which caused every cough to be accompanied by crazy muscle pain in the back.  Sheesh!  Hopefully I'll be able to kick this before the baby arrives.  I think I may finally be getting better. 

Walking around I feel a lot of pressure in my lower regions.  I am the slowest walker these days too!  Tummy is like an ocean at times, rolling with waves - its so fun to watch!  Hopefully there'll be 2 more weeks of this!
