35 week chalkboard

Dear sweet little one,

This chalkboard just.isn't.possible! I can't even.

How far along: 35 weeks

Gender: Little baby girl <3
Name: Waverley Violet
Maternity clothes: Going to miss them soon :(
Best moment this week: In a weird, twisted way, it was staying home with Pemberley on Thursday and Friday, even though she was sick with a 103.8 temperature. She hasn't slept in my arms like that since she was 11 months old.

Worst moment this week: Finding out Pemberley has an ear infection (hence the fever). It hurts so much when your kids are sick and they can't communicate it with you. My mommy heart was  broken watching her be sick. 

Miss anything: A nice glass (or three) of sangria, as well as tummy sleeping. Lord, I miss being comfortable in bed. And RLS can kiss my butt.

Movements: Adoring all of them except the ones *right* to my bladder. Those SUCK.

Cravings: Crushed ice, strawberries, and root beer

Queasy or sick: Nope. Keeping up on my Vitamin C intake so I'm healthy for the home stretch!

Looking forward to: Maternity pictures on Tuesday. I'm celebrating my last pregnancy with a bang :)

Wedding rings on or off: Still on. No swelling. Boom.

Belly button in or out: Staring to poke out a little bit!
Stretch marks: Not a one.
Labor signs: A few bouts of super sharp, really painful round ligament pain (they call it "lightning crotch" for a reason). I literally dropped to my knees today and cried out in pain! Hopefully it doesn't happen at school...

Your Gigi, a very wise woman, told me tonight that I didn't need to be scared of dividing my love between you and your big sister, because a mother's heart doesn't divide love - it adds and multiplies it. Considering how much stress I've experienced this past week thinking about what it's going to be like when you get here, that piece of comfort was so well-timed and exactly what I needed to hear that it reaffirms belief that everything will be okay; that I can handle this mommy-of-two thing. Between Gigi, Grandma Joanne, Great Grannie, all of your aunts, and your big sister, you are very lucky to have such wonderful female role models in your life. I can't wait to introduce them all to you very, very soon!

With all of the love in the world (multiplied),
