The Muffin got fixed :((( Did I mention that on here? NOT too sure if I did, but it was the SADDEST thing ever!! Seriously she was WAYYY more sad then poor Fox was :l Breaks my heart to see our USUAL spunky beast so sad.

Like father like daughter? OBVIOUSLY right?? They are so funny, it's really hilarious how much a like they are in the way they sit and stand, in EVERY OTHER way though, she's EXACTLY like the Muffin!

I watched this video the other day on YouTube, if you haven't ever seen this girl before

LOVIN' the NEW update!! MOST of it, I LOVE that Siri tells me how to get to places BUT she told me the wrong directions home the other day, she was telling to go to a place that was BEHIND my house :l WEIRD and the maps NO longer tell you how long it is supposed to take to get somewhere lameeee

P.S. Apple if you're reading this, which I'm SURE you are, please fix those two things and I will LOVE this new update & Siri FOREVER!!

Baby Laines-36 Weeks

How far along: 36 Weeks :)

Baby's size: 19-22 inches, around 6.5 lbs AND the size of a WATERMELON! Ummm safe to say Baby Carter is BIG enough to come out ANY day now!!

Miss Anything: NOT having a MILLION things to do on my to do list!! Seriously!

Best moment this week: Knowing that in LESS then a month the new baby will be here! Eeek I can't wait!

Movement: Yep, he doesn't kick so much anymore, BUT he gets hiccups a lot AND lots of rolls, and I think he moves his hands around a lot

Food cravings: Still just sweets.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Randomly I'll feel SUPER nauseous but not on a steady basis.

Maternity Clothes: Uggh yes, I'm still trying to squeeze myself into my old pants, and although they still go on, they are completely unbuttoned, thank you belly band for making it seem like they're not.

Stretch marks: :( I am sad to say that I got a few stretch marks :,( I wanted to cry when I saw them, BUT the upside is that they are REALLY REALLY light and I think I MIGHT be the only one that can truly see them, what can I say I know what my stomach looked like before and those tiny marks were NOT there.

Symptoms I HAVE: Big huge belly, tired ALL THE TIME, NONE of my clothes fit, get out of breath, ONE symptom I still don't have though, is that I am NOT nesting thats for sure, I'm so tired all I want to do is sleep!

Doctor’s Appointment: Have one on Friday, and then it's EVERY single week until he finally decides to come!

What I'm looking forward to: Baby Carter finally being here! I literally CAN NOT WAIT!!! I know I have a LOT to do before his arrival BUT I'm so excited to go in his room and see an actual baby :)

Gender: BOY!!!

Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on and still fitting like normal :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: Not gonna lie, I'm pretty freaking moody, BUT it's HOT and I have realized that MOST people are REALLY annoying!

Sleep: Yuckkkk...I wish it was easier to sleep! I'm so tired!

Showing: There is NO hiding this big belly, I mean I can try BUT I'm pretty sure people can tell there's a baby in there :)

Some funny things about being preggers!

Soooo I know I still have a couple more weeks, BUT I wanted to share with you some things that have SURPRISED me since finding out I was preggers, not only surprised but also things that other people "forgot" to mention!

-no matter what your preference is once they tell you what your baby is, you will be BEYOND excited!

I ALWAYS wanted a daughter, I longed for the husband to have a daddy's girl, I wanted to laugh at how wrapped around her finger he would become, and I wanted a room of pink and animal print! I had it all planned out! BUT now, now I can NOT imagine being pregnant with a girl! I am so excited for a boy! I can't wait to play with trucks, and cars, and lets face it, BOY toys are wayyyyyyy cooler!! :) Even the husband is excited now, we talk about what sports we're going to put him in and all the stuff that we can't wait for him to do! Trust me once you find out, after the initial shock, you'll be excited!

-you NEED maternity clothes

I had LOTS and LOTS of people tell me, "Oh don't buy maternity clothes! they're ugly and you'll NEVER wear them again, such a waste of money" Ummm I don't know how those people didn't wear maternity clothes, they are the MOST comfortable clothes that I have EVER worn in my WHOLE LIFE! Seriously, so comfy! AND I mean you CAN buy some clothes that are MUCH bigger then your regular clothes that will fit while you're preggers BUT you'll be sad because your size went up so much :( in maternity clothes you can still wear the same size you were in BEFORE you started growing a basketball under your shirt!

-you MIGHT not get any cravings, and EVERYONE will ask you about it

I haven't really had any ridiculous cravings, and usually that's the very first question that everyone will ask you, "OMG! what are you craving? anything crazy?" I haven't had anything, AT ALL, I mean I do have a couple months left, BUT so far the only thing that I crave are things that are normal, french fries (even though I NEVER feel like I NEED them RIGHT NOW) ice cream, OR cookies, don't worry I try to limit myself to ONCE a day craving, because clearly this

-EVERYONE will have an opinion about your baby

literally! EVERY SINGLE person that you HAPPEN to run into while you are carrying a baby will have an opinion about EVERY SINGLE THING that is going on in your pregnancy! "ohhh you've gained a lot of weight" "ohhh you are really going to name your baby that?" "on your going to spell their name like that?" "why that theme for his room?" "you're having your baby at what hospital? Why?" "you are going to breastfeed? you aren't?" "you shouldn't wear heels" "you shouldn't carry ANYTHING AT ALL" it's kinda funny at first, and then it will get kinda annoying, AND then you're pregnancy hormones are really going to kick in and you're going to want to punch said people in the face! :) Don't worry you won't actually do it.

source

-People will ask you about your baby A LOT!

its cute, actually I never really thought that it would be such a conversation started. BUT people are really interested in babies, they want to know everything about the baby, is it a boy? or girl? what is his/her name going to be? Is it your first baby? Are you still working?

source

-your body will do things that don't seem possible!

I mean really, you will look at your stomach and think, "how can this stomach possibly fit a 5/6 lb baby in it, with 5 more weeks to go?? really? how is it possible? Oh and how is it possible that your stomach can move like a CRAZY cat got inside there! Or alien? I mean really...it will feel so different then ANYTHING that you will ever feel.

source

-You will think to yourself, "Now please, tell me how those ladies didn't know they were pregnant?"

I mean really? How?? To me, does NOT seem possible AT ALL! They are either the LUCKIEST women on the planet, OR the dumbest women on the planet, you decide my friends.

source

-You could NOT imagine what Michelle Duggars life is like

I mean really? Being pregnant with NINETEEN kids, I can't imagine!

source

-Everyone will ask you how you feel

it's really a nice gesture, it really is and you'll feel good when someone asks you, but you'll really just want to tell them all about how your feet hurt, you can't sleep, you feel stuffed, your back hurts, you have to pee every hour on the hour even when you're sleeping, you're bigger then you've ever been in your whole life, etc. but instead, you'll say "feeling okay..." because you don't want to complain about growing a miracle inside that BIG belly :)

-Other ladies with kids will tell you ALL about the pain that you will feel, and that it is the worst pain EVER, BUT in the same breathe say "Just make sure to relax"

really? yes this does happen, and yes being someone that was NEVER pregnant before it will freak you out for what is to come, i just try not to think about it too much.

-You'll probably cry

and over the dumbest things when you look back at it. In the beginning I cried all the time, it was pretty ridiculous, the husband could just look at me weird, and I'd start crying

source

-Your husband, no matter how much he tries, will NEVER full understand what it feels like

with anything, being big, getting swollen feet, feeling sick, and if your husband is anything like mine, he'll probably look at you like you're exaggerating when you try to get out of bed and struggling, actually at first he thought I was kidding, no husband I wish i was, that is actual struggle you see here!
