HOW IS BABY RYLA?!?
At 35 weeks, 1 day Ryla is unbothered! She doesn’t believe in
naps for she moves all day long but the movement’s just reassure me that’s she
doing fine in there. She is measuring where she’s supposed to be so no worries
about her.
Ryla has the hiccups at least 3 times a day. My baby trying to breathe out her mouth yall lol. I told my doc about them and she said hiccups are a good sign for she is trying to breathe out her mouth but in the process she's swallowing some amniotic fluid which is causing the hiccups.
Also, since my tummy is small compared to other woman who are 8
months pregnant, my doctor predicted that Ryla will be a small baby, maybe
around 5 or 6 pounds. That’s fine with me as long as she’s healthy.
HOW AM I DOING!?!
I'm good. I cut out my sweets a lot so I’m anxious to see how much I’ve gained at my 36 week appointment next week. My doctor told me that just from looking at me she can tell that most of my weight gain is from fluids so we’ll see after I have Ryla. I still try to elevate my feet every chance I get because they are so swollen.

I am feeling 8 months pregnant. I feel like my whole body
is swollen. Not being able to do the simple things in life is kind of annoying
but it just comes with the territory when you’re pregnant. I commend my husband
for stepping up and doing things that I’m no longer able to do or basically
don’t feel like doing anymore. He helps out with cooking dinner, he’s
cleaning more, he stays in my ear about eating sweets lol, etc so I’m really
thankful for him!
It’s also getting hard to sleep comfortably at night. With my
leg cramps I toss and turn all night long. It drives my husband crazy but he’s going
to have to deal with it lol! There is a nice, comfy leather couch in the living
room for him if he can’t handle me tossing and turning all night :)
Stretch Marks??? I have no new stretch marks! I already had light stretch marks on my stomach and on my sides but no new stretch marks have popped up.
SYMPTOMS
Fatigue – I’m tired yall! Point, blank, and still period.
My poor feet – still swollen
Heartburn – still comes and goes
A new symptom are leg cramps rather known as Charlie Horses. They
hit me early in the morning and they wake me up because I can feel them coming.
I usually try to catch the cramp before it gets really tight so I just rub my
lower leg until it goes away.
OTHER STUFF
I only have 4
weeks, 6 days to go! Can ya’ll believe that. My excitement is about to shoot
out the roof. My baby shower is this Saturday (I know it’s a little late) and I’m
overly excited for that. Ryla’s bow game is so, so, so serious. I seriously
cannot stop buying bows and the funny thing will be if she doesn’t like wearing
them but heck she doesn’t have a choice. She going to wear all these hair bows
and head bands I’m buying for her lol.
I also took
Maternity pics! I LOVE all of them. I'll post a few below.
Stay tuned for more pregnancy updates and maternity pics :)
