I am almost 36 weeks and only have 4 weeks left! I am so jealous of those women who can list all the things they love about being pregnant. My list only has one item on it and that is that I will be a mom soon. Other than that pregnancy has been hard!!!
Last week I took on way to much. I taught 20 hours of tennis in the mornings and then ran a tennis tournament. I worked about 12 hours a day!!! I don't know what I was thinking, but I am so happy it is over with. I think I over did it a little bit becuase Saturday I ended up in labor and delivery. They ran a bunch of tests and figured out that I was just dehydrated. So after a few hours in the hospital I got to go home. Both baby and I are still very healthy.
My feet are still so swollen that I am actually starting to get stretch marks on them. And they are more and more swollen with the heat. I am starting to feel like I am in my first trimester again. I am nauseas and throw up in the mornings. My headaches are coming back a little bit to. Also I just realized I am getting stretch marks everywhere!!!! I put belly lotion on every day, but doesn't anyone have any secrets to avoid stretch marks?!?!
The good news is that I am dilated to a 3 already! I have also been having small contractions through out the day. They are not consistent, but I am hoping that means Aspen will come a little early. I can't wait to see what she will look like. although I know motherhood will be very hard I am so excited for every aspect of it!

You need to take it easy. I am so sorry to hear that you had to go into the hospital but I am glad you guys are fine. I am not dilated at all so maybe you will get your baby before me. Honestly I hope she comes early for you. I think pregnancy is rough and am with you on the 3rd trimester throwing up. It's just no fun. I wish I were in Utah and we could sit around and complain together while eating Kathy's home made ice cream. Hang in there, it is so worth it and even though you will be tired it is MUCH better once they are out. I promise!
Glad everything is still going well. You definitely need to slow down! I am sorry you are feeling lousy...those last couple weeks can be rough. As for stretch marks, I don't have a good answer. I was doing great and then those last couple weeks out they came. But every single one of those stretch marks will be well worth it once you see Aspen! ;)
I love the name Aspen. People always think I'm saying Aspen when I tell them our daughters name is Afton. Good Luck! Hope she comes soon!
WAY TO GO for handling this heat, tennis and being pregnant. You are braver then me...i would have just sat in the pool! lol
Enjoy these last few weeks of just you and Tyler because soon, you will be very busy and life will change. Go out to dinner together, or on a walk, or just cuddle on the couch.
Oh, you're so close! You definitely need to take it easy while you can, it's not going to get any easier! Sleep as much as you can - I would kill for a good nights sleep right now!
