As much as I crave sleep, I’ve been building in an extra 15 minutes in the morning to help ensure a slow start to the day with minimal rushing and all the time taking.  From wake up to out the door I take about two hours in the morning.  Obviously, all of this goes out the window once Erp makes her appearance but until then, this is working out quite nicely.  

Finally got my maternity seat belt installed in my car!  It took about 10 minutes to put in and tighten up (yes, I literally timed it) and while it makes getting in and out of the car more cumbersome, it’s nice not having a belt across my belly worrying about what happens internally if I get in an accident.  Now I’m just worried about my thighs, but they say thick things save lives so that might actually be the case here.  

And so I’m not only calling out Kevin’s mess, I had to clean off the desk in my office last night in case we needed to move it to make room for Kevin’s desk.   The movers came this afternoon and were successfully able to stick Kevin’s honking desk in our walk-in closet so Kevin’s new “office” will be in this cramped space.  BUT, at least this means he and I aren’t sharing my office which wouldn’t be great for our relationship.  We’ll see how it all goes, we can always move him downstairs into the guest room once the majority of our guests leave in the spring after all the baby visits.  

Update of the nursery room still littered with all the books from the bookshelf and drawers from his desk needing to get put back.  But progress is being had!!

Last night I was feeling ALLLL belly so I snapped this pic showing that my feeling was justified as I’m definitely belly forward now.  Most of my outfits don’t show off my rotundness so for my future reference I wanted to put this here as a reminder of how much my body is truly transforming.  How is there 10.5 more weeks of growth to come?!

I’m shocked at the difference 11 days can make! I didn’t even notice until it was pointed out by a couple of people that I’m carrying different 😅 Now I understand why I’ve been in so much pain the last few days! (Second pic was at 29w4d)

I’m having a really tough time today. My husband and I are fighting so much, he just keeps messing stuff up and I feel like I can’t count on him at all. At this point our fights don’t even ever resolve, we just kind of agree that we don’t want to fight anymore and we drop it. But then of course, it keeps coming back up because it’s never resolved.

My brother is also going through a lot and has been being really shitty to my mom. So I’ve been dealing with his drama nonstop for weeks and I’m just so sick of him throwing a wrench in our family.

On top of that, today is also the due date for the baby we lost. I’m trying so hard not to think about it and to just be grateful for the pregnancy we have, but it’s really hard not to think about what could’ve been. Especially today.

Today is also my grandpa’s 88th birthday. We went over to see him and he is just deteriorating so much. Every time I see him, he looks worse and worse. It seems like he’s just wasting away. He keeps saying he promises he’s going to make it to August to meet his great grandson, but that he can’t promise anything more than that. I honestly don’t even know if he can make it to then. Which makes me even more angry at my infertility and my loss, because we should have had a baby by now that he could meet. Not to mention, that even him just living until August isn’t good enough. I’m not ready to lose him, but I know I need to start preparing to be.

My husband hasn’t even mentioned the due date today. I don’t even know if he remembers or is thinking about it. And I don’t want to bring it up because I don’t want to upset him more too, and because I really don’t want to talk about it anyway. But I really wish he’d just remember on his own and maybe be a little gentler on me today.

I’m trying so hard to keep my chin up and to be grateful for what I have. I’m 7 months pregnant with a healthy, happy baby. My son is the most important thing in the world to me, and I keep telling myself I’m ok as long as he’s ok. Today is just a little harder than usual to be ok.

I just want to sleep on my back. It's the only time I'm comfortable 😭

Helena is not nearly as active as Scarlette was and I wonder if I should be worried about that

No love is greather than that of a father for his son. Being a good father starts with presence not presents. #NicholasDrew #29w4d🐣 #notperfectbuthappy ##MrMrsG #PappaMommaNicholas #justthe3ofus👪 #dammamriyadh

I wish sweat pants were considered 'business casual'.
