33 Weeks Pregnant :-)

Woo hoo....I am 33 weeks pregnant and still going strong :-)

Little Sweets now weighs 4lbs, 6oz (about the same weight as a pineapple) and measures 17 inches from head to toe. The baby's skin is gradually becoming less red and wrinkled as fat builds up underneath. How cool eh! The baby's skull is still very soft and will remain soft until after birth; however, the rest of his/her bones are hardening.

I have a lot to catch you up on as I haven't been able to blog since last week.

We've been in Revival services since Monday; tonight is the last night. My hubby is preaching :-) Yippy!!! I always get excited and nervous for him when he preaches outside of our church. I don't know why....I just do. lol  I am like one of those proud mom's who sit in the stands on the edge of their seat as they cheer on their kids; however, I am a wife and I am cheering on my husband! lol 

Last night Little Sweets was extremely active during song. I was so into the worship service that I thought I might put myself into early labour-lol!  I was singing my heart out so much that I started to get strong braxton hicks and tightening in my tummy. I didn't want to stop worshipping, so I held my tummy with one hand and kept the other lifted high! lol Dennard looked over at one point and said "Do you need to sit down?". Hand still in the air, eyes closed tightley, I leaned over and said "nope-I am good!". lol 

Being a pioneer Pastor's Wife, I don't get to worship like I like to because I am behind a piano playing focusing on Dennard's signals and trying not to mess up, lol, so when I am not in our church, I can't help but enter into worship the way my heart wants to.

I've been getting braxton hicks for the past few days now; however, the past two days have been the strongest ever. I woke up at around 2am this morning with really sharp cramps in my front and lower back. I was quite nervous to be honest; I do not want this baby coming before his/her time! The cramping is all apart of the braxton hicks from what I understand; however, it still makes me rather nervous as cramping could also be the first signs of labour- YIKES!!!!!

Fortunately, the cramping stopped and I was able to fall back to sleep :-) Now, it wasn't a restful sleep by any stretch of the imagination. I was so worked up in my mind about the cramping that I had multiple dreams back to back about going into early labour. LOL

Funny Story
Ok, if you ever heard of 'Baby Brain' before, let me tell you...there is such a thing! lol
I am embarrassed to report that I had a bit of a 'Baby Brain' episode yesterday.

I was driving home from work and I remembered that I had a cheque in my wallet that I needed to deposit. Opening my wallet to grab the cheque to deposit, I was panicked to find no cheque there?! I had specifically remembered putting it in my wallet too!!! I thought "oh gosh...it probably fell out! If it fell out, someone could have deposited it!!". Still driving, I grabbed my cell phone and called my bank to report the lost cheque and have them cancel it so that it could not be deposited if found.

After being on the phone a good 15mins providing my account information and explaining what happened to the Bank Rep on the other end, he told me that he found record that my cheque had indeed been deposited. At this point my heart just sank! The cheque was quite a bit of money too :-S
I asked him to put a request in for investigation to see who and where the cheque was deposited. He polietley told me it would take a few days to investigate and to call him back on Monday.
Immediately I called Denanrd and told him what happened. Expecting him to sound just as concerned as I was, he calmly said "Devin....you gave me that cheque at the beginning of May to deposit into the account for you; remember?".

LOL- talk about embarrassing!! Still puzzled I said "Really? Are you absolutely sure?! I don't remember passing it off to you". He said "Yes Devin! I deposited it May 4th!". Needless to say, although it was embarrassing, I was quite releaved to know that it wasn't lost and deposited into someone else's account!!!!!!! LOL

So ladies....Baby Brain is really a real thing! Not just an 'excuse'; although some probably use it as an excuse from time to time! lol
