Chubby Knees




I HAD A ROUGH WEEK!!!!!

So what's there to do about it?

Try to relax despite your so-called failures and 

Make some adorable knee heart leggings 
and try to stuff 

your chubby, swollen knees in them:)



How far along? 37.5  weeks

Baby’s Size: about 6 pounds 

Weight Gain: 70 pounds! Waaa.......waaaa......waaaaaaa. CLEAN EATING and exercise here I come!!!!! 

Bellybutton: in

Stretchmarks: just a million old ones


Maternity Clothes: Yes.....I can;t fit into anything non maternity now and honestly I only have about 3 things that still fit maternity or not.


Names: Who knows.....we haven't talked about it in months:)


Gender: S*U*R*P*R*I*S*E baby. 
I still think it's a boy!

Movement: TONS!! My belly now "JUMPS" to high heaven when the baby kicks!

Sleep: Not too good.....I toss and turn all night and get about up to the bathroom at least 10 times

Symptoms:  I'm starting to get REALLY tired!!! 
I'm out of breath very easily. My legs,ankles and wrists are swollen most days and my hips are KILLING me at night. 

Food Aversions: None to speak of

Food Cravings: steak fries, Indian food, spicy stuff

What I miss:  EVERYTHING

What I am Looking forward to: Having the baby! 
There is not  much room left in my body. The baby is now smushed so tightly in there I can barely move. I think maybe it should come out now:)

Milestones: I'm 3 centimeters dilated and 30% effaced. 
The baby is coming soon and I'm pretty sure it's gonna come fast folks! I am just praying I can make it to a hospital or to a neighbors house before I deliver the baby by myself. 

Ginger came out exactly 2 hours from my very first twinge of a contraction so I wouldn't be surprised if I've only got 45 minutes for this one folks. 

My husband works a lot at night and you know we have no cell phones so seriously I am just praying someone gets to me in time. 

Luckily my mother used to be a midwife and she only lives about 2 miles away so hopefully if all else fails she can at least come catch my baby.
Wish me luck on this one!

DIY Heart Leggings

Note: You want the heart to end just above the knee to be flattering to the leg, any lower and it may draw the eye too low, making you look dumpy (just sayin').


Note: I used old leggings I already had so no need to spend extra money and buy something extra.

I also used a cream colored eye liner I had to draw my heart shape but you could also use a chalk pencil or a lead pencil depending on the color of your leggings.


Note: Do Not wash for 72 hours after the fabric paint has dried to ensure a lasting effect. 
This paint is fabulous, it dries flexible and even. The leggings are actually my pre-pregnancy leggings which are a size medium and right now I wear an extra large so you can see the paint doesn't stretch or separate even with LOTS of stretching and chubby knee stuffing:)

Two hours?! I am so jealous :-) My son's labor was 36 hours and my daughter was 32!

Cute! I just drew a heart on a bleach stain on one of my fave jeans. But I used a sharpie instead with no patter and they look a hot mess! LOL! Congrats on the baby! Safe delivery!

OH wow, lady. You will certainly be having your baby before me :) And you better have your mom on speed dial because my bet is she's going to be delivering your baby. (Sorry for the bad news...)

And here's the funny thing about pregnancies- my belly button- popped out at 13 weeks. Really...

So excited to hear news about this little one!

Love the leggings!! Does hubby work with someone that has a cell phone, and they can give him the message when it's time? And you do NOT look like you've gained 70! But you know you'll lose it all right away, as soon as you can start running again! Praying for you, friend!
