mumble jumble

Tonight I'm laying here awake while Jas sleeps on the couch in the living room. Yes, it's that kind of night in our house... not by choice but simply for optimal comfort for all. Our AC broke today and it's getting pretty steamy in here. That along with an utterly (ha i laugh because I feel fat as a friggin cow right now..get it-udders?) uncomfortable pregnant girl is making for a pretty grouchy house. I've got a fan beside the bed that is SO loud I can barely sleep and I just cannot find a single position that will make me comfortable. However, despite the complete discomfort of being hot, fat, and pregnant I'm happy right now. Lainey is going to town kicking me right at this very moment and it makes everything totally worth it. Not going to lie I'm totally ready for her to be kicking outside of me so I can regain some sort of control over my body again. But at 24 weeks she's still needs to bake and for now I'm good with that! 

I've decided I'm not doing a weekly update this week. I'd rather just ramble on about the things going on than have some fancy format to follow. 

So they say I'm 24 weeks but I have an appointment in the coming weeks to do another ultrasound to check her measurements. They are thinking possibly she is small or maybe even my dates are off so we are continuing to get frequent ultrasounds to make sure she is steadily growing while inside of me. However, if my dates are wrong then I could really be like 22'ish weeks instead of 24 weeks. I just keep telling myself it is what it is and that I'm further along so that I don't have to think about adding additional HOT summer days to my already long pregnancy journey. 

My symptoms have been following right along with what the bump (thebump.com) has been telling me I should be experiencing. The newest most fantastic symptom I've been experiencing is leg cramps. Now we aren't talking just little uncomfortable, just bend over and stretch it out, leg cramps. I'm talking laying in bed and my entire calf is stuck in a-leaves-you-screaming-for-help-in-tears type of cramp.. these things are FIERCE! If I can even begin to put them into comparison of something I'd say 10x worse than a charlie horse. Now that you've got the picture they only last like 30 seconds but still it's bad. 

My bump is almost sticking out over my chest when looking down. Everyone says I look small but I feel EVERYTHING but small. I've got pictures to post so hopefully I can get those up this week. 

And last but not least Jas has worked really hard on Lainey's room and it is done being painted!! We are waiting on her crib and bedding to come in and we still need to get a chair, side table, and decor and it will be DONE! Painting was the biggest task so now it seems like we are steps away from having her space complete! 

Now that I've rambled on about nothingness I shall go find something to buy on etsy! So long :)
