36 Weeks

This pregnancy has flown by. I feel like we were just finding out that we were expecting another baby, and here we are at 36 weeks pregnant! Next week McKenna will officially become full term, but I'm sure we will still have a couple more weeks.

At the last appointment, we were told that I most likely will be induced at 39 weeks, just like I was with McKaila, due to my blood pressure. My blood pressure isn't as high as it was with McKaila, but it's been constantly high this whole pregnancy. So, more then likely we will be meeting McKenna Grace in a few short weeks.

With that being said, I've been going crazy making sure we have everything together and ready for McKenna's arrival. Diapers, wipes, pacifiers, and so on. I've washed all of the clothes, burp clothes, blankets, and everything else. Pack N Play, swing and bouncy seat are ready to be laid in, even though McKaila has been enjoying putting her babies in them. And finally, this weekend Courtney painted the letters for McKenna's name to put up in her room!

I believe that we are ready, even though in my head, I feel like I'm not! Even though I've made lists of everything that I need to still do and have to have for my hospital bag, I always feel like I'm forgetting something. We shall see when the day comes though!

As for me, I've been feeling pretty good. I'm just all around feeling uncomfortable. McKenna's movements are getting really strong and she's always busy moving. I've been having horrible heart burn lately, so tums have truly become a life saver for me in these last few weeks. But the worst thing of it all, is that my hips have been hurting a lot! That's one thing I never experienced with McKaila is my hips hurting, so it hasn't been too much fun dealing with it. I find that it feels best when I'm reclined in my chair, but even then it still hurts! So, all in all, I'm ready for McKenna to make her appearance!

Welcome to the Polnicky's

Finally, this weekend we finished putting up the last of the pictures around the house. I'm sure there still will be stuff we'll do around the house, but for now, it's finally starting to feel like home!

We really love it here! It's so nice having a bigger home to live in for our growing family! And I really love have a second story house. Well, I do sometimes. It's been hard walking up and down the stairs at times, but I try to limit how much I do that during the day! It's just been nice to have all the extra space for everything!

Here is a look into our new house

34 Weeks

Today marks 34 weeks pregnant along with opening day for baseball! That's why I'm sporting my new Detroit Tigers shirt!! A few weekends ago we were able to head out to the outlets and do some shopping at Motherhood Maternity and I found this super cute Tigers shirt in the clearance rack. Along with my Tigers shirt I got some tank tops, shirts and some leggings. I'm all ready for the warm weather!!!

 

 

I've been feeling pretty well other than each day I feel like my belly gets bigger and bigger. I've been getting tired a lot more faster when we are out and about, but I've been pretty good about taking breaks when I feel like I'm getting too tired. I'm so thankful for my Boppy Body Pillow or else I don't think I would be sleeping as well as I am right now due to my ever growing belly. But the moment I open my eyes, McKenna is busy moving around!

McKenna is a mover, that is for sure. And day by day, her movements are getting even stronger. I love feeling her move, but sometimes she pushes so hard, that it hurts a bit, but I still love it!

Tomorrow, I have my 2nd appointment here at Keesler AFB. My first appointment I was truly happy all around with all the friendly mid-wifes and nurses. We even got to take a tour of labor and delivery which was wonderful. I'm so happy that I get to be in the same room from beginning to end and that McKenna will be at eyes view after I have her, unlike when I had McKaila. They took her to clean her off and couldn't see anything. This time, McKenna will be right next to me!!

*Today McKaila went to give McKenna a kiss and McKenna kicked her. It was so cute to see the shock on McKaila's face*

This picture I couldn't resist sharing with you all!! I sent my dad a picture of my belly and he sent me one back, so I put it together to get this!
