-Leggings are the best invention ever. I just rotate a few maternity shirts with my leggings and I am set.
-36 miles last week and all of them were outside, I haven’t gone without a treadmill for that long in a while. I have found every drinking fountain and restroom within 7 miles of my home.
-I read that in the last few weeks the main thing going on is that the baby is putting on more weight and fat. I can honestly tell the difference (okay, it probably is just in my head) but my hunger levels have gone way up recently. Eating a full on meal in the middle of the night happens more often than not.
-I found a DOCTOR!! Turns out there was only ONE in the entire area that we are moving to that is in-network with my insurance and he is going to take me. Biggest blessing ever.
-I go through at least a bag of sour gummy worms a day. My habit is getting expensive.
-Curly (my niece) talks to my stomach all of the time. I actually don’t remember the last time she looked me in the eyes because she is always staring directly at the tummy.
-I hit that special mark in pregnancy that you hear women talk about where they absolutely can’t WAIT any longer to have their baby. I have yet to find a position besides being in the pool that feels remotely comfortable. Poor little thing must be so squished in there.
-Have you ever seen cuter shoes in your life? She is going to come out running.
I wanted to play a fun game (well fun for me at least) and have you guys GUESS when you think I will have the baby (DAY and TIME). My due date is on August 24th so guess away!!!! I will send a package of the most delicious treats to whoever guesses the closest day and time to when I have her!

Don’t hate me for saying, but I think Sept. 1 at 5:45am. Most first-time moms with un-augmented labors (no induction or “hurry up” techniques) go about 11 days past their EDD.
