A)What in the world is a durian fruit? ...and B)Is every single durian fruit in the world between 17.2 and 18.7 inches?
I think not. But whatevs, the fruit thing was super fun at the beginning and now it's just like yeah, pounds of fruit could fit in my expanding mid section. No biggie. Haha, my favorites are weeks 38 and 39 when supposedly she turns into the size of a pumpkin and then a watermelon! Have you seen the pumpkins they have at state fairs? Yeah. Fun mental image, huh?

In other news, my family came this week. Yay! They were so great to help out with the house stuff and my Dad got the crib and bassinet up which is a huge relief.

| Amelia's crib which was also my crib when I was a baby :) And yes those are our hospital bags all ready to go! Including our gorgeous new skip hop studio diaper bag! |
My mom helped me wash and fold Amelia's clothes, another gigantic relief. Unfortunately they had to go back home on Saturday (insert extreme lip pouting) and I'm left with an even quieter house than before. They are seriously so good to us, not only did they clean up the house but my Dad also stocked my kitchen including not 1, not 2, but 4(!) boxes of nutrigrain bars! Yummm! I just found those tonight when I was looking for a snack and I got so excited Luke thought I was crazy, haha.
Now we are prepping for one of Luke's college roommates and his wife to visit this week (and by we are prepping, I really mean I am making lists and folding clothes in bed, haha). Then on Saturday Luke's mom and her entire side of the family will be coming down for a week. (They won't be staying with us though) Followed by my aunt and my family again at the end of the month! Lots of vacationers, one of the many joys of living at the beach. But seriously, I love having people down I just wish I wasn't on bed rest. The whole knowing there are a ton of people visiting and I can't do anything to prepare (aka clean my house) and then I also can't go out with them really stinks. But Little Miss will be here before we know it and I'll finally be able to get out of the bed! (Although I may not want to then, haha) The doctor said I can come off bed rest at 37 weeks, so I've only got about 3 more weeks to go. I can totally do that.
In other doctor related news, I was back in the hospital on Friday night. This time with contractions in my back that would not go away. Another shot later and I was feeling just fine. Those shots are serious miracle workers. And I feel like I don't even need to take a tour of the OB ward now because I'm pretty sure I've seen most of the rooms in there... Ok, so I've only seen two but it sure feels like I know the place! Also, when I went in this time the nurses remembered me... kudos to them, slightly embarrassing for me for being 'that mom' but oh well.
In case anyone is wondering, the craving of the week is diet coke from McDonald's (it is seriously the best, and yes I know how bad diet coke is for me... blah blah blah... I promise I don't indulge this one often) and blueberry nutrigrain bars! Go Daddy for stocking me up on that one!
The necessities of bed rest...

I am also extremely obsessed with instagram and the vast amounts of preggo / new mommies on there. There are some seriously cute babies on there. I'm also loving the pictures of random cravings from fellow preggos, it won't be long and I'll be on the baby side so I'm trying to enjoy every last minute of pregg-i-ness! (I totally just made that word up.... it reminds me of pigginess but since that is slightly appropriate I'm just going to go with it)
My next doctor appointment is Wednesday... or Thursday... one of those days. Hopefully little miss will be right on track and happy to stay inside until she is nice and plump! And hopefully this will be the last time I'm telling you about hospital visits for awhile! Thanks for visiting!
