the loneliness sets in...

i know i have talked about pete traveling and how hard it is to be without him. i don't mean to sound like a broken record here but...it is hard. real hard. usually 3 days is my limit. after that i just get cranky and super sad. i don't feel like doing anything (which isn't a good thing when you are due in 10 weeks...gotta get things done!!!)
but lately, one day is too much. this is probably due to being in my 3rd trimester and being a wimpy, crying bag of a baby...(and my husband is something amazing and waking up with him next to me is the best thing)
i wonder when bennet gets here if it will be different. will i be too tired to get sad and weepy? (PROBABLY!) will she fill my days with happiness? (YES!!) i do know one thing...i will no longer be the only girl in this house who misses him. he is gonna be such a great daddy to her, i just cant wait to see them cuddle :)

so right now i sit here jealous of all the people who get to see my husband. angry that i have another week to get through. thankful that he has a job he loves. feeling sorry for myself that i don't get a back rub tonight. and lonely eating dinner all by myself.



dear bennet,
baby girl...we only have 10 weeks left till we get to meet each other. i am looking forward to finally seeing what you look like. will you have lots of dark hair like daddy? will you have my huge lips? no matter what...you are our little girl and even if you come out crying non stop we couldn't be happier {although please be a calm baby who likes her sleep like her parents :)}
we will have a lot of time together when daddy is gone. i know he is already dreading leaving us for the first time. we will fill our days with giggles, snuggles, and lots of fun to make the time go by faster. and when he comes home i am sure i won't get to hold you at all. he will more then likely not put you down the whole time ;)
we love you nugs,
mommy

an update

i have been so unmotivated to write. i really have no idea why. i just would rather read all the blogs i follow then sit down and write about me and my life. this might have something to do with pete being gone so much lately and thus me dealing with loneliness. but he is back (till friday!!!) so i am a much happier girl! he has been so great with coming home off the road and doing things around the house. right now he is mowing and then painting some more things for bennet's nursery. he is the best :)
so here is a short pregnancy update. i really need to be better about these cus i know i will love to look back on this pregnancy and remember what a wonderful experience it has been. seriously we are so thankful.


How far along? 27 weeks and 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: will let you know after my next midwife appt next week

Stretch marks? Nope!!!!!

Sleep: last night was really the first time i was up for a long time. i woke up hot and needing to pee around 2 then asked pete to turn the air down. i didn't go back to sleep till 4. i ended up getting out of bed and eating a bowl of cereal around 3:30 it was the best bowl of cereal i have ever tasted :)

Best moment this week: got home saturday from being in st louis. pete was waiting for me with a steak dinner (yummy) and bennet got me my first mother's day card! she is amazing i had no idea she could go shopping while in my belly. ;)

Movement: goodness she is a night owl. up all night punching my insides and she has made my bladder her pillow.

Food cravings: FRUIT!! watermelon, blackberries, strawberries, raw veggies

Gender: Still a girl!

Labor Signs: nope! stay in there little one. you have to cook more!

Belly Button in or out? still in but stretched oooouuuuutttttt!

What I miss: having more energy.

What I am looking forward to: getting the nursery all done!

Weekly Wisdom: read this last night...'the fear of birth causes more pain' trying to not be fed all the negative about labor.

Milestones: almost in my 3rd trimester! so crazy


happy mother's day to all the mommies out there!!!
