oh my goodness...let me start out by saying that i will NOT get pregnant again in the summer if i can help it. ugh ugh ugh this heat is the absolute worse! plus throw in southern humidity and its just lovely let me tell ya.
i spend most of my days at the pool in the morning then home by noon and i stay indoors the rest of the day with the shades drawn. our energy bill will probably be HUGE this month...my perfect temp ranges from 65-69 degrees. not looking forward to that piece of mail.
good news though, i am 34 weeks! wow, this seriously has flown by. i can't believe we only have 42 more days (give or take) till little bennet makes her way into the world. labor is something i think about daily. also all i can think about is all that we need to get done before the time comes. i try to stay mindful to not stress out over it all.
somethings i can do without right now: the heat (duh), how uncomfortable i am (seriously i roll out of bed), the constant hip pain at night (why do they only hurt at night?!! did any other ladies out there have constant hip pain?), acid reflex (tums are my best friend), heartburn (once again hello tums!)
please don't get me wrong...i am so thankful that i get to experience this! it is a miracle and am so thankful every time i feel her kicks and punches. pregnancy is really a fun exciting time. i am just glad it usually doesn't go longer then 40 weeks. please Bennet, make mommy happy and come on time...not a day late! please!
alot of people have asked us how we came up with her name. well if you know me well you know my love for jane austen. pride & prejudice gets me every time. i have always loved Elizabeth Bennet and thought her last name would be so precious for a little lady. Some people want to spell it Bennett but i prefer it with one 'T' it is how miss austen spells it in all the books i have. also Bennet means "little blessed one" how adorable is that?! Elise was just a name i always loved. so classic and pretty. when we looked up what it means we knew it was her name right away..."consecrated to God" how perfect!
so little Bennet Elise, i hope you love your name as much as we do! you are kicking me like crazy and i can tell that you can't wait to meet us too! i love how worship at church calms you down and how when daddy talks to you you calm down and listen...but as soon as he stops you kick like crazy. you don't want him to stop! haha i can't wait for that moment that they place you on my chest and we meet for the first time. dear little one, we love you more then we can put into words! stay healthy and keep growing...also these are the dates that work best for us if you wanna come then, july 28 - august 2.
xoxo,
mommy
