Oh My!

Want to know what i'm thinking?

"I can't eat, I can't sleep, but I can do a great imitation of a beach whale.

Seriously, are we almost done with this?"

ROTFLMAO!!

Children are very observant...

Happy Feet!

My feet have been a big discomfort lately. They are achy, swollen and feel dry. While at Babies R Us and searching a solution for the aches and swelling, ...other than lifting my feet up for long periods of time (now, if you know me well, you'll know that's something almost impossible for me to do, I am always on the go!) I found Happy Feet by Earth Mama Organics. 

Doubting my purchase all the way home, (probably because it was a sale item at $3.98), I went and soaked my feet in warm water, added the herbs and ...ahhhh what a relief!

I am making my tired, swollen footsies happy with this soothing organic herbal foot soak.

Earth Mama's blend of organic lavender, organic yarrow, organic peppermint, organic thyme, organic rosemary, organic rose, organic pure essential oils and salts are pampering and perking up my ever-expanding ankles. It's very refreshing and my feet although still swollen did not get worse like I've been  experiencing some nights.

Funny Friday...

38 Weeks!!

• How far along? 38 Weeks!

• Total weight gain/loss: 29 lbs total gain so far...I wonder how much more could I gain in the next 17 days?

• Stretch marks: Nada!

• Sleep: Uncomfortable!! Tossing and turning all night, snoring, running out of breath, extremely dry mouth, lips and waking up to pee by the hour...some of the fun things that have taken over my nights =)

• Best moment this week: reaching full term...a milestone

• Movement: Tons of stretching in mommy's belly, baby is kind of wondering why there isn't much room anymore to kick and do his somersaults...lol

• Food cravings: freshly squeezed orange juice, watermelon, spanish food and cheese danish.

• Gender: A little man!

• Labor signs: Just the normal stuff... lots of pressure due to baby dropping, charlie horse, cramps, cankles etc...all prepping me for the real labor

• Belly button in or out? Outie!

• What I miss: sleep...

• What I am looking forward to: The arrival of my little Prince

• Weekly Wisdom: Walking the mall all day will cause a few contractions - and really sore legs/swollen ankles...mean cankles.lol.


*What I'm I thinking? "Please don't let my water break at an inopportune time like in the middle of a client meeting or during my pedicure or at a fancy restaurant ..." lol


• Milestones: 38 Week Mark!! 2 weeks, 17 days, 384 hours until delivery!

• What is the baby up to? Baby is really plumped up, I am sure he's over 7 pounds now. His organs have matured and are all ready for life outside the womb.

During the next two weeks baby will gain weight, as fat is stored to help maintain body temperature and glucose levels. Baby might still have vernix (creamy coating that protects the skin), but it is mostly confined to skin creases and folds and the back and neck. Baby has a firm grasp reflex now. If a light is shown on my belly, he will now turn towards it. This is called the "orienting response."
