Goodbye.....

I would like to make a list of all the things I am ready to say goodbye to in this 10 month pregnancy. Hopefully in just 8 short days (or LESS) this list will be a faint memory and I will be holding the miracle that made it all worth it. :) I can't wait!

Goodbye unwanted comments from silly people- I never knew I would literally have to hold back from slapping someone

Goodbye silly hormones- Once you made me cry so hard I think I hyperventilated

Goodbye raging acid reflux- you will not be missed

Goodbye swollen ankles and feet with a distinct sock line at the end of the day- I have never wanted my shoes off more

Goodbye itchy belly- you made a "lotion hater" have to lather up several times a day

Goodbye (I hope) chipmunk cheeks- You make me look like I am storing up nuts for the winter

Goodbye sleepless nights- Oh wait I don't think I can say goodbye to that. Ok, Goodbye sleepless nights due to being very uncomfortable and having to get up to pee all the time

Goodbye stabbing lower back pain- I HATE you.

Goodbye tiny bladder- You made it very very difficult to walk and not run to the bathroom

Goodbye silly pregnancy waddle- It will be so nice to have a normal center of gravity again

Goodbye mush brain- I have never had to go back to the store for the same thing so many times

Goodbye extra baby weight- I HOPE to have you off before my sister's wedding in August (YIKES) so I can zip up that bridesmaids dress

Goooooooooood bye!

**smile**

Please do share you goodbye list! :)

Happy Mother's Day to you!

Well it's my first unofficial Mother's Day... Happy Mother's day to me :) and especially to my wonderful Mother! I figure I can join in on the celebration since I am growing a child inside me right at this moment.

Here is the most recent pic of Mommy and Baby Hoff on Mother's Day (33 weeks)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

It's MAY!!!!!

*YIKES*
I just realized as I was ripping April off my desk calendar this morning that I am having this baby NEXT month. Woah. I had a mild panic attack and then realized that my due date is June 29th so it's possible that I will have baby Hoff in July. That made me feel better. Although, by that time I may be wishing I would have never wrote those words.

Pregnancy hormones are definitely here. I cry easily about mostly anything lately. Knowing this about myself I stupidly decided to watch the movie "My Sister's Keeper" Friday night. I ended up soaking the pillow I was laying on with tears and ruined the rest of my Friday night because I could not stop crying. Awesome. Poor Eric, I am so up and down lately I don't think he knows whether to hug me or just run away.

Speaking of husbands.... I was talking to my older sister (who is also pregnant and due in 2 weeks) the other day on the phone about pregnancy craziness. Her poor husband has been sick almost a week with Vertigo and has felt awful. She explained to me that she cannot help but be annoyed at him for the HUGE inconvenience of his sickness. RIGHT? She is pregnant and has a 2 year old to take care of- there is no room for sick husbands!!! I just laughed hysterically at how crazy pregnancy can make us! My sister would never say this under normal circumstances. I love sharing pregnancy stories with her, she always makes me feel better :).

Anyone else have some fun/crazy hormonal stories they would like to share? :)

Baby Moon Weekend in Chattanooga

Here is a short recap of our awesome "Baby Moon". There were lots more pictures but here are a few highlights... Enjoy.

Our lovely accommodations. We pricelined and got a great deal!

Eric and I at the top of "Look Out Mountain" Very touristy, but a lovely walk and view once we got to the top.

Our Amazing Lunch and DELICIOUS dessert :)

Key Lime Cupcake... sooo good.

The next couple are just some city sites

The Aquarium was awesome- a must see when going to Chattanooga

The first thing we saw when getting inside the Aquarium... sorry lady, had to do it.

Me touching Sting Rays!

With out a doubt the BEST breakfast we have EVER, I mean EVER, eaten. AMAZING!

Cookie the size of my head.

The goodness on a plate.
