WeLcOmE!

many of you that read my "old" blog may be wondering why i created a new blog...the answer is that blogspot decided that i couldnt load anymore pictures to my account so instead of writing boring blogs without pictures -because who really reads blogs when there are no pictures!? it just makes things a lil more interesting...

any ways if you were not up-to-date on the old posts i still have the old blog up here:

JaKe & AsHLeY

things are changing quickly in the kleiman household...i am now 36 weeks prego & counting down the DAYS till our lil brighton is here with us. i know jake is too- he tells me i have been moaning like crazy at night from being in so much pain from my body making its changes for D-day. sleeping is a thing of the past for me with all the trips to the bathroom, the waking up to change positions from one side to the other & then getting stuck mid turn over. pregnancy is sure fun people, sure fun!

lately:

• i have been craving diet coke so bad lately...i seriously salivate just thinking about how amazing it would be just to get an ice cold diet coke! i picture either my drink in the can or in a huge cup filled with pebble ice. WHY?!?! of course i have not caved on this craving because i know how bad soda is for you & plus i havent had caffeine in 4 years i would probably be such a nut, but i am on the verge of a relapse!
• brightons nursery is coming along so well- i absolutely adore baby girls room! i often go in there throughout the day just to be around her things...i will stand there for a couple minutes & think i cant wait till all of this is real, when we take her home from the hospital & she will be our lil one forever.
• i am feeling sooo big lately. i have actually always felt pretty big this whole pregnancy but now i am in awe that my body could actually be this size & i could weigh this much...i have tried not to let the whole weight part of pregnancy get to me- i know it is only temporary & that whatever weight i do gain is because i needed to gain it. i am especially happy that i have yet to get any stretch marks. i have been religiously putting on coco butter about 3 times a day since my first trimester...my belly feels like silk!
• like i said earlier- sleeping is getting harder & harder each night. i literally feel like i cant make it without a nap during the day. i keep telling myself i am going to be working until i am in labor but i may need to take off a lil before just because i am so exhausted from sleepless nights. everybody i work with just looks at me with a horrified face because they think i am just going to pop any moment! "wow ash! youre huge, like really pregnant i mean!" love that i work with a bunch of dudes that say WHATEVER.
• my doctors appointments have started to be every week now...as ready as i am to have this baby i am getting so nervous that i will be having this baby so soon. everyone tells me that after labor i will think to myself that it really wasnt THAT bad. i have tried to stop thinking so much about the scariness of it & focus more on the beautiful blessing that i have been given to be able to be the temporary home to my lil girl & that as bad as it gets it WILL get better! & it will ALL be SOOO worth it!
