Oh the joys of being pregnant in the summer!
Swollen feet? Huge. Epic. Double some days triple their original size.
Contractions? Jaw dropping, knee shaking, can't talk or breathe intense.
Bathroom? My best friend. I watch my shower curtain more than my t.v. these days.
Sleep? Wonderful once I arrange my 5 pillows, 2 blankets, dog & wonderful fiance! =)
Pressure? Some days it feels like she is already half way out.
4-ish weeks until she gets here.
Curt finished painting her room this morning... We went and got the chair rail so all he has left is get that up & put her crib together, then her name letters up and everything is done! Her clothes are washed... Her bag is packed... Bottles have been cleaned and disinfected... I'm ready now!
We went out on the boat today... Oh so gorgeous!! Hit a underwater stump with the motor, no damage, just made me jump!! Looks like I got a little too much sun... Oh well! Just as well add sunburn to the preggo list!
Off to start making the list for stuff to take to the hospital!!!

I don't know you... Yet I do
It is amazing how we get the places we do on the internet... Get bored one day, search blogs... Roam through peoples posts, go to their links, come across other blogs... Laugh... Learn... Follow blogs of people that you don't even know for whatever reason that suits you...
I follow a few different blogs, and through these I feel like I know these people. I feel like I struggle when they do, I laugh when they laugh and when something devestating happens, I cry too.
Most of the ones I follow have something to do with firefighting... I'm new to this life and love learning everything I can. To help educate me and to help me though this life I have as a fire fighters (soon to be) wife.
I never understood the "brotherhood". I never understood the connection that the wives have. I do now. And I don't even know these people.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of one of the blogs I follow, I read this evening on their blog that their baby passed away in his sleep a short week ago.
I read and I cried.
The post was short and simple, but full of emotion... My heart hurts for them.
I couldn't even imagine.

Down to the wire... Almost...
7 more weeks...
49 days until my daughter arrives. Daughter. Never thought I'd have one of those. I honestly didn't think I'd ever have anymore kids.
It seems so much different. I'm used to baby boys. I've had 2 of them. I know how they work. I know what makes them tick. A girl? No idea. I'm kinda lost on this one. But its okay, because I know how to take care of a baby & raise a child... But Curt and I can figure out the whole how to raise a GIRL together.
It is like she knows I'm talking about her. Must be wakie time... Nice shoulder to my hips... Knee to my belly button... She sure is a restless baby!! She loves when Curt talks to her... She just rolls and flips and gives him "kisses" he says. Sure as hell feels like a kick to me!! =)
Her bedroom is half done, Curt has to paint the other half of the room before I can get in there and get stuff organized. I can't wait to see her in it! There is so much pink in there its hilarious. Curt asked me what I'm going to do if she doesn't like pink. I told him she doesn't really have a choice until she is old enough to talk. She is stuck in pink dresses and purple outfits with bows in her hair until then.
I can't wait =)
