36 weeks *pics*
I still haven’t uploaded those belly shots. It’s been super busy. I got more things put away in Kenzie’s room, it’s almost ready. Chris needs to set up her co sleeper, and swing tommorrow. We need to wash baby clothes, and get a dresser upstairs to put away her onsies, and I need some baskets for organizing things. I can’t believe I still have 3 more weeks! I’m just ready, and these last two months are creeping by. I did get a breast pump though, and as much as I would like to breastfeed from the breast, I won’t be able to as long as I want to. We were expecting Jess’s health to slip so fast, and with the current situation with the war, Sandra’s Veteran’s Assistant checks won’t come in for 4-6 months. So that means I’ll have to return to work sooner than I wanted to. But at least I have the pump so she’ll get my milk. It’s a single pump, electric by Medela, I just need some storage containers. I’m really bummed about it though. I was really hoping to take more than 6 -8 weeks off work. But that’s life. I can’t believe I’m finally on my last baby in the ticker. Oh and we bought Kenzie a build a bear, and named it Jesse’s Girl, after Jess. We also gave it a special note, and included Jess in there even though he isn’t around in human form.
We fully believe he’s watching over us and keeping us together.
I have a little stretchmark above my belly button, but that’s it so far. I can see a few starting to come in, I think, right under my tummy, but they are faint if they’re there.
Ok, pictures, finally.

Sounds like you are getting things together pretty good. That does suck, having to go back to work earlier, but you gotta do what you gotta do. That bear is so cute. I plan on taking my daughter there when she gets older to pick out stuff/make one together.

Wow, 3 weeks!! I have 10 more than you 🙂 That bear is very sweet, I’m sure Kenzie will love it. I need to get a dresser to put away all of the baby clothes I have too. I have laundry baskets full of them just waiting to be washed and put away.

I like the breast milk storage bags better than the containers. The milk is easier to defrost. I’m going back to work part time this week. I can’t afford to stay out any longer. Once my doctor clears me on the 29th, I go back full time.
