SAY WHAT!?
Have I seriously been pregnant this long already? I'll be 36 weeks on Sunday. Some days it feels like it's been a lifetime, but other days I want to put it all in slow motion because I need more time to prepare for this parenting thing. I think because the baby grows so fast the last couple months, and your stretchy clothes start gettin extremely snug, it makes you go...HOLY CRAP!
As far as I know, this little mongral is still head up...which would be the wrong position for natural labor, and would in turn require a c-section. Neither one of those sound appealing at this point. The closer it gets, I think I'd rather be knocked out all together. Danny can record the miracle. I'll gladly wake up when it's all said and done.
And let's talk about water breakage. I'm still working as a hair stylist 24 hours a week. I stand for 6 hours at a time in hopes that being on my feet will cause this little guy to come sooner than later. But, what if my water breaks while I'm doing a mens haircut. "Ohhhhh...sir, whatever you do, dont look down and walk away with caution." Uhhh....AWKWARD! Pregnancy is so gross. Yes, it's a miracle and the changes a woman goes through are pretty radical, but just as disgusting.
Now, pregnancy in itself is extremely hard to go through as a woman. Being that you get rather large and all your normal clothes are packed away while you do everything you can with your make-up to bring attention to your face so people don't notice your growing buttocks. But let's talk about the special things my husband has shared with me the past few months (to top it all off) before it ever hit his brain.
-"Wow babe, you're huge!"
-I come out of the bathroom after getting on the scale and his response is "hahahaha".
-While looking at our wedding photos "Look how pretty you were, babe.....I mean, look how small you used to be.......oh, you know what I mean"
-"Babe, you're so pretty. I'm sorry I havent been attracted to you lately."
-Just last night I said he was a sheet hog cuz my butt is always sticking out of the covers on my side, and he said "Oh, nothing can cover that butt right now."
Men are geniuses. (But we already knew that.)
We had maternity pictures done a couple weeks ago. They turned out fantastical! Cant wait to do infant portraits next. Let's have this baby! Maybe I'll have a little jack in my lap the next time I get on here. Or maybe I'll write a crying blog because the little squirt hasnt come yet. We shall see. Hope you all have a glorious day! Cheers!

Baby's room or death wish?
32 weeks along and Jack is definetly making himself known. A couple days ago he kicked me so hard I peed a little. He takes after his buff dad. :)
On to my blog of the day: Apparently there are a few people who are concerned with my nursery decoration of choice. For those of you who dont know what I'm doing, Jack's room colors are red, black white and grey with skull and crossbone accents. And not scary skulls. The smiley cartoon looking ones. We came up with the idea because his middle name is Danger, so he needed a rockstar theme. Even though there have been some negative responses, there are far more people supporting it than not.
That being said, yesteday I got a text from my mom. She said my grandma (her mom) told her whether I know it or not, I am creating a death wish for my son by putting skull and crossbone decorations in his room. AND "that it's not her opinion. It's what the Lord says!" I'm really sorry grandma, but God never said putting skull decrortions in jack's room was a death wish. I understand the skull symbol means death and poison and danger and all of those things, but staying relevent means you have to roll with the punches and understand trends change. Being older has to be hard, because there's no way to keep up with it all. But at least knowing things change and supporting younger people even when you dont understand is going to be the most effective way to live. (and probably impossible)
I think every single article of baby clothes I got in my showers have a skull on it somewhere, if it's not all covered in them. IT'S THE COOL THING THESE DAYS! They're on clothes, shoes, blankets, pillows, paintings.....it's just the new thing. It's like a peace sign. Some say it's a broken cross and evil...while others think it means PEACE. Big difference. I just liked the rockstar theme, the fact that it fits his middle name and that it's trendy. A little rocker baby never hurt anybody. Jack was created by God's hand, given to us as a gift and I plan on raising him to know exactly who his Creator is. So you dont have to like the skull idea. It's not your house, or your baby. But at least respect the fact that even though you may disagree, it's not in anyway to be scary or to send a wish of death upon my son. Yes it's out of the norm, but look who you're dealing with.
Here's a couple shots of this so called scaaaary roooooom (Not done, but on it's way):
Cheers!!!
