Maternity Clothes? All

Weight Gain?  Still refuse to weigh but it's like 34-35 lbs I think, ugh. 

Stretch Marks? No PTL, I do have that Linea Nigra line, but other than that I haven't seen any stretch marks and I'm still lathering the oil and cream morning and night.  

Gender? Sweet baby GIRL.... Millie Ladell.....Her dad has tried to make an appearance in the picture and wants to change her name to Paige, the only thing I can think of is maybe add it in with Millie and be Millie Paige b/c she has to have Ladell, because it's family and it's been passed down for so long.  I love Millie, already have things monogrammed with Millie so I don't wan to give it up either.  If he sticks around through the last 9 weeks we'll see.  But I'm not sure he will! 

Sleep?  I've given up on a good nights sleep for many months to come. haha

What I Miss Most? Wearing my own clothes and feel comfortable and not being so tired. 

Symptoms? None 

Belly Button? Poking out but not too bad, hopefully it will go back in once she gets here.  

Her Dad's been giving me all sorts of hell, so honestly, I don't know where we stand.  He asked me "what if we got married??"  I got quiet, I don't know about it honestly, I want to be married, but not with things the way they are, it wouldn't be good for any of us.  

Happy Memorial Day weekend Ladies!!

It's been a crazy last few days, her Dad and I spent 3 1/2 hours arguing last night on the phone, 1. he hates her name - I told him, fine tell me some names you like and we'll find another name.  

2. he told me I should give her to him if I want him in her life and he'll be the full-time parent- OVER MY DEAD BODY was the response.

3. It just didn't go well, he's so selfish and really neither Millie nor I need that right now.

I feel like I'm on the home stretch, had my dr appointment this morning, we're both doing great, her heartbeat is great and we're both healthy, that's all that matters.

I am so beyond ready and excited for her, my Dad should be done finishing her crib this weekend and I'll be putting it together Memorial Day weekend.  So can't wait for my sweet baby girl to get here!!

Weight Gain?  I gained 4 lbs since my last appointment 4 weeks ago, but dr said that's normal.  I am obsessed with calorie counting still and I'm trying to remember I have to eat those 1800 cals for her.  But I'm ready to diet asap after she gets here.  I hope I can find something that works well with breastfeeding b/c I want to bf and I want to still get the weight off asap.

I am so ready for Millie to make her debut, I can't believe how much you can love someone that you've never met.  I am beyond ecstatic and ready for her birth. 

I am currently on my last week of birthing classes and they've been interesting.  I don't know if I've mentioned it but my birthing plan is to go natural the entire way.  This is something very personal to me and while a lot of people seem to think I'm crazy, as one lady said at the birthing classes.  This is a decision I made early on into my pregnancy and one that I really plan on trying to stick with.  I love the idea of being "free" not tied down to the bed, pump, etc.  Being able to jump in the warm shower to ease labor pains as needed and being about to walk around.  Yes, I do sound crazy to some, but this is a real personal choice for me and if it's too much to bare then I already know what I must do and how far along is too far to change my mind.  I personally don't see me changing my mind, but we shall see. 

Happy Monday Ladies!!
