I realize that this is completely common with pregnant women, yet it’s still completely annoying and I’ve actually had to go out and purchase new shoes because of it. And yes, I love buying new shoes, don’t get me wrong on this one. Getting new shoes is awesome. However, I only enjoy getting new shoes when it’s on my terms and having to get new shoes because my feet are growing out of control just isn’t fun at all. The Adidas sandals I even had were becoming too small so last Monday, Dave and I made the trip to Rogans so I could get new sandals. I found a new pair in two minutes and went up a full size from what I was wearing before. Super crazy! I even wore them out of the store and I must say, they felt amazing and being able to wear them put me in a much better mood!

Other than growing
and becoming increasingly uncomfortable with every passing day, there’s not
much new going on right now. We did have a baby check-up this week and as of
right now, everything is looking pretty good. Our OB said that Ryan is about
4-5 pounds and I can definitely feel all 4 or 5 pounds of him. He is as active
as ever and it’s super strange to feel all of him bouncing around inside of me.
It’s a good weird though and occasionally, his head or butt, we can’t determine
which, sticks out further on one side than the other like an alien! :) The other day I swore I saw his
foot, but that could have been my mind playing tricks on me, either way,
something was sticking out and it wasn’t his head or butt! Now that I can see
him more and more, it must mean that he’s growing a bunch. Let’s just hope he
doesn’t grow too much and make pushing him out tremendously difficult. I mean,
it’s not like it isn’t going to be difficult, I realize that, but it would be
nice if it was easier rather than super duper hard! We’ll just have to wait and
see on that one I guess. Bring on the epidural. LOL. We’re about six weeks away
from meeting Ryan at this point and I can’t wait! Due date is July 12th!
Hmm, maybe with a little luck, he’ll be ready to come out sooner! Ahh, that
would be nice, yet if he needs to bake a little longer, I’ll do my best to
cope! Either way, I can’t wait to meet him! :)
And with that, the last thing I want to say is that I give mad props to every woman out there who has been pregnant, or is pregnant, because this whole deal is hard work and I just want to say, you rock for getting through it. This mama to be is tired beyond words right now, hopefully, a lot of napping this weekend will get me re-energized. Until next time, it’s Carla the sleepy pregnant tomboy saying farewell!
