uffda is norwegian for "i am overwhelmed," "ouch," or "oops." i'm norwegian and scandinavian; uffda has always been a common term around my household growing up.
i find myself saying it a lot these days. hunter is going to start saying it soon too, i'm sure. he may even begin to think it's his name because i say it all too often. i'm tired, my tummy has stretched and stretched some more {and thanks babycenter for informing me that sage will be having yet another growth spurt this week} and my back is weary after carrying around my 30 lbs of handsome sugar. he better walk soon.
i'm tired, too. i have lists of things to accomplish but i find myself resting while hunter naps. and i keep telling myself that it's okay. i feel guilty and unaccomplished, but i'm giving myself grace. after all, i was pregnant for 9 mos, nursed {really it was pumping... but that is another story for another day} for 8 mos - during 2 of those mos i was pregnant and didn't know it, now i'm 8 mos pregnant and going to nurse some more. whew. my body is tired. uffda.
i couldn't be more thankful for the gifts of my kiddos! tired or not!
here's my 32 week belly shot.

Summer ;0)
You look adorable!
And yes, it's ok to rest. Your body tells you what it needs.
Happy Tuesday!
Ditto, you look incredible! Isn't it amazing what our bodies go through to nourish, grow, birth and then look after children? I think we should get a special jewel on our crown for it. Ha! Thanks for your sweet words, today is looking to be a better day.
You look great! You aren't a super big pregnant woman. :-)
I LOVE Uffda. We use it allllll the time. ;-)
Love & Blessings,

Uffda is right! Make sure to get some rest, that is important. And you look adorable!
You are so cute pregnant! I wouldn't worry one bit about sitting down and resting while Hunter naps. Enjoy that peace!!!! I do, and I'm not pregnant. Ha! (It helps that I can justify anything ;)
carissa...you look so beautiful!!! And as tired as you say you are (and I totally believe you!)...you look so gorgeous...not tired at all! :) I totally hear you on the exhausted body thing....I'm feeling the same way....I really do think nursing/being pregnant takes a LOT out of you. Don't ever feel one bit guilty about taking a nap when your little guy naps!!! You need to do that! Everything else can wait :)
Thanks for the UFFTA tip...;) I feel like that 100% of the time these days!
ps...you are an amazing woman for being able to handle a pregnancy and a little boy as young as Hunter. It's no small effort!
i bet you are tired...I had space in bw all that and it was tiring so I can't imagine what it's like for you!
You look so great! Especially for it being #2!!!
You look amazing! What a cute little belly for 32 weeks- Wow! You definitely deserve some rest, and should savor those peaceful moments while you can :) Good for you for staying so positive too, I am sure that is not always easy!
Ur soooo cute:) relax, take a nap and a bloggy break always does the trick:)
You look gorgeous lady! (: It's totally okay to rest if you need it!
Uffda is right!! You rest whenever you body tells you to! :) And your photo... you just couldn't be more cute!!
You look fantastic! Rest when you can...you need it! I so admire you for doing all that you do-taking care of Hunter, being pregnant, and looking great while doing it! Hang in there. :)
You look so cute! I wish I looked like that when I was pregnant :) Rest, rest, rest...it will not hurt a thing.
Blessings,
Amy
You may feel "uffda" but you look beautiful!
You look GREAT!!!!
I love the term uffda!! Girl you look so cute, pregnancy sets very well with you!
You look beautiful! I still don't think you are very big! LOL. Rest all you can!!!
You should be taking it easy! I remember what it was like to be pregnant and have a little one running around too! My oldest two are only a little over 16 months apart. You look adorable and you are almost there!
Oh my word girl, you look AH-mazing! I was that size around 22 weeks with my youngest. I can't get over how fab you look!
Try to take it easy and rest while you can, and don't think twice about it girl. You deserve it!
Have a great day!
You're getting so close, but it really is so much more tiring. I remember that feeling of complete exhaustion all too well, another reason why Jacob is IT. One day at a time. Continue to give yourself that grace.
You do look fantastic~ and have ample reason to be tired! We are so hard on ourselves... 'Mommy guilt' is one of those things I am constantly trying to overcome. It just never ends! Don't feel bad for taking it easy sometimes right now... 'cause it's about to get a little crazy again! =) Blessings~ I hope you get some rest!!
you look so beautiful!!!! WOW! I definitely think you should rest while Hunter does! (btw - I have a nephew named Hunter - great name!!) :P
OMG! I am Scandinavian too, i always say uffda. Great post really made me smile when i saw that.
You also look amazing!
having kids is totally exhausting! definitely let yourself off the hook. i mean being pregnant is really the only time society says it's okay to be lazy and let others do things for you, so take advantage! :)
you look SO ADORABLE!!!! I look like I ate a house when I am pregnant! So jealous!
You have such a cute baby bump! You're so tiny ! :] That's okay, sometimes you need rest, don't be too hard on yourself !
I am also Norwegian so that phrase was used often in my house growing up as well! You look beautiful!
Ah! You're SO cute!!! You're so small for 32 weeks! Well, actually...I just can't remember the last time I saw someone pregnant with their 2nd. Normally it's like their 8th or something. ha! ;) Anyway, you look great!
Uffda, huh? haha. I've never heard that one! I can't start using it now though, because I'll feel like I stole it from you. :D
Maybe someday the moment will be just perfect for me to use this new and exciting exclamation. lol.
Love,
--Abigail
ok from one pregnant lady to another....you look HOT! seriously how are you staying so tiny everywhere? i'm exhausted too....i'm sure you are even more since you are 10 weeks ahead of me. and i take naps during sophia's nap time too haha. we need it!!
Wow! You look amazing :) Tired or not, you definitely have the glow. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're growing a person while taking care of another little person!
YOU ARE A SUPERHERO ;)
I think you look GORGEOUS! I hope I look half that good when I get pregnant!
Don't feel guilty for taking naps...you need them!!! Give your body that rest so you can take care of your family. And I agree with everyone else...you are an adorable hot mama!
Aaw you are so cute!!! This is a GREAT shot of you!! Hang in there! It must be tough with a little one and one on the way!!
I am going to borrow this word as well! Ha.
You are so adorable with your little belly. I know it probably feels huge, but truly its perfect.
You are looking adorable.
I could not agree with you more!! And you look AMAZING, I feel like I look like I am carrying twins compared to you haha!
good luck with the rest!!
Look at you...you're adorable. You look like you're 12 weeks not 32. You have the cutest baby belly ever!
Rest up girl because you'll need all the energy for when Miss Sage arrives.
Wow! You look stunning! And TINY! I swear we are the same size and I'm only 26 weeks with my first! Kuddos to you for however you are able to pull that off! My face has blown up like a balloon and you only look pregnant in your belly...so jealous! Heck yes! Take those naps!
awww you are the cutest little expecting mom! what a beautiful pic :))
You look beautiful...and you need the rest, your body's been through a lot in the last year+ :).
Probably good I don't "have" a word like "uffda"...I'm sure I'd use it to death.
Keep on truckin' - you'll have too much time to rest when they're all grown up.
Lisa
Well you look beautiful!
You are flat out adorable! You need to milk this pregnant thing for all it's worth! Make people do stuff for you. Take naps whenever you can!!!
awe, girl you look awesome.!! When is your due date.?
i totally get the 'tired'! You are adorable!!!
you look BEAUTIFUL!!!! so tiny for 32 weeks!! { I carried small both times too ;)} Getting close!! Rest as much as you can! Have a great day!
You look soo adorable. And wow! You are a supermom. Ah the resilience of youth... You will bounce right back. Lots of hugs!
Uffda, you are tiny! Uffda.
aww you look gorgeous! I imagine I would do even less than you if I were pregnant, lol. And I'll have to adopt "uffda." I say a lot of "oy vey" even though I'm not jewish haha
So cute! I find it amazing that we are more friends on blogging than in real life... :)
Good gracious you are adorable! I hope you feel better, because you look presh!
Wish I had looked that cute preggo!
you look grogeous carissa!
take it easy! don't push yourself too much.
you look great!! ((this is off topic, but my daughters are playing dolls together and amelya told breigh her dolls outfit was too sexy!! UFFDA! they must've gotten that from their dad!))
i would love to hear the 'i pumped for 8 months' story. i give any mom credit that sticks to it for that long. my friend had to pump only for seven months becuase of her son being sick. and it seemed a lot harder than just 'whipping it out'!
My computer teacher in elementary always said Uffda! You look great! And it IS okay to rest while baby rests! (I know, I know, easier said than done!!)
You are too cute!
Carissa you look beautiful! Don't feel guilty for resting...soon you will need to have even more energy so do rest now. I'm going to pray that Hunter starts walking soon! I can't imagine having to pick him up all the time. Yesterday I was so tired too...Tiago decided to go potty everywhere but in the bathroom, my belly felt so big and hard and at one point it even hurt like she was going to come out! I stopped everything and sat down on the couch with Tiago...sometimes we need to forget everything else...Soon we will have two, hopefully they will get into a routine together that will work and we will have more energy (not being pregnant and all!). Until than...let's do what we can and enjoy the season!! God bless you!!
I hope that you have a much better week. You are glowing, stunning and beautiful. I am so very happy for you.
What a beautiful mother you make!
And I can only imagine how tough it would be to carry around my little guy pregnant. Its bound to happen soon though.
Praying the rest of your pregnancy goes smooth and fast!
<3
Of course you're tired. nap when you can, sweetie. It's good for you! And does it help any that you are looking AMAZING! I'm jealous of that beautiful baby belly :)
Pregnancy certainly suits you-- you look AMAZING. Can I please look that good the next time around?!
I love this word and will say it with you...UFFDA!
I'm SO thankful for my babies but tired of being pregnant, too.
You look beautiful, Carissa!
Thanks for the new term to add to my vocabulary. I plan on using it often. You look very cute by the way. Way to go?
Love the word. Love the picture, you look great...even if you are feeling tired :( Rest, things will get done and no one will remember the "mess"!
you look absolutely beautiful! gorgeous belly, you just glow...
love the name Sage and seriously, do you know me or something? I feel like we have the same circumstances surrounding this pregnancy... I can't wait for Lily to start walking and didn't find have suspicions that I was preg till I was about 8 wks, then when I thought I was 8, I was REALLY 13... so crazy.
it's been crazy around here and I haven't been around but I still hopelessly love your blog!
you have every right to say uffda!! after just reading your post i wanted to say it. uffda. First, you look SO beautiful with your cute little tummy!! i just love it. second, ohhhh man...i can only imagine how tired your body must feel. you deserve to rest and just relax. you are wonder woman being pregnant and carrying around cute hunter.
thank you so much for your sweet comments!! i think i am slightly ( very much so) obsessed with cupcakes. you should try (when you have time...since it sounds like you have plenty? hah!) to make sprinkles at home... you might not be able to go there but you could make it at home :)
also, gap and american eagle have really cute gold sandals...i was at the mall today and spotted them. the gold ones in my picture are from last summer.
i hope you have a great day!! just keep smiling! :)
praying for you!
aww you are the cutest little pregnant woman!
I'm thinking of adding "uffda" to my vocabulary. My husband and I don't curse, so this sounds like a good alternative when something more than "golly" is needed ;)
Wow you look great! I'd never have guessed you're 8 mths pregnant!
First of all, you look gorgeous!! And for being 32 wks, you are still so tiny! I was HUGE. And that's an uffda-ism.
You look beautiful!
You look great!
I grew up in a "Uffda" household too, I still say it all the time!
You are awesome. I'm Swedish, so yah Uffda is "normal" in our house.
You look so cute and fabulous and your poor body. If you can fork over the dough, maybe you should get a prenatal massage. I think you deserve it.
YOu look AMAZING!!!!!!!!! YOu are just all belly!! and glowing and gorgeous!!!! I wasnt all bely the first time! I was a hippo...the 2nd time I was all belly, bc of stress.but girl you look great!!!!
Can I please look like you when I get to 32 wks????!!!! BEAUTIFUL!
Oh and Moses is not walking either and is almost hitting 35 L B S!!! I feel ya!
You look so amazing!!! You have the glow. Awwwwww!!!!
Carissa! I only hope I look as cute as you when I'm pregnant. I am so happy for you, but also jealous. haha. I'm so glad your pregnancy is going well. You look great girl.
Omgaws you could NOT be any cuter! What a sweet post and yes, uffda for sure. Oh and its great that you are giving yourself grace cause I'd have to get all up in your koolaid!! So, you narrowly avoided that mess, lemme tell you sister!! And, I'll be checking back so! ;) xoxo LA
You look amazing. I wish I looked that fabulous when I was pregnant. I was sick as a dog evvveeerry single daay. Until I had the baby, then I felt great.
It is a lot to ask of your body but honestly, from the bottom of my heart, YOU LOOK GORGEOUS. Enjoy everything. When you're 40 you'll miss it. (in a way of being able to experiencing it again)
God bless you girl.
Wow! You don't look 32 weeks! I will be praying for your last weeks to go well (don't feel guilty about resting: I believe God made our pregnant bodies make us do what is best for the baby and ourselves, which is slow down, and rest:)
(I always pray for all my followers.)

Can't wait to dig around some more!
You look so cute!! And great by the way, 32 weeks? I don't believe you, you are teeny!!
Uffda, I like it!
Could you be ANY cuter!!!! Seriously.
You are darling!!!!
you look so cute! and you don't look tired or overwhelmed at all in this picture. so in a few months you won't remember how exhausting it was having a little one and being pregnant with another. then maybe #3 will come along and uffda!

You look beautiful! Rest whenever possible. :)
uffda. how cute. you look adorable, as always. :)
You look amazing and you are beautiful too by the way! Ha! Wow you are going to have your hands full! I have a 14 month old right now and I am so ready for another! They will be able to grow up and be best buddies. Sage is such a cute name!
Doll, you are so adorable! Just remember, you are doing amazingly and this will all be over soon. Ok, maybe not soon (because #2 is going to be a lot of work!) but we're all so proud of you and so happy for you. And dear, keep the pics coming... we love seeing that little belly of yours grow :-) Happy Wednesday Dear!
You are so adorable. I love this shot. You are glowing. :) I can't wait to be a mommy.
xx Love & Aloha
p.s. I love you April Fools post. Yes I read it to the end. At first I was thinking, wow.. she's posting right after her water broke!! ha ha.
You look so beautiful! You're so tiny. I'm one of those huge pregnant ladies when I'm preggers. It's okay to rest. When you feel tired...rest. I had a problem doing that and thought that I had to do it all. I ended up having Evan at 32 weeks, emergency c-section and a one week stay in the hospital for me and three week stay for him. So take it from me...rest!
32 weeks!? you stunning woman, you!
and it's your second. good genes momma, have i said that before?? because it's true!!
i would love you to pop over to my place and help me name my new girlie-sofa! she's in desperate need for a name and i have a little gift for the successful namer, too!! :)
thanks so much!!
http://missbblogs.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-girl-in-town_06.html
seriously?...people should not look as good as you at 32 weeks....maybe your due date is wrong and it should be moved to September or something....you hardly have a bump of any kind...not fair...UFFDA! You look marvelous!
You are looking fab anyway - hoping these uncomfortable weeks fly by for you!
doesn't that make you wonder how michelle duggar's body does it?!
By FAR... the cutest pregnant belly I've ever seen!! I mean it.
Oh you are soooo cute!
Wow! Learneda new word today but I doubt I'll use it much here in the Philippines! I nursed for 11 months, but like you, it was more like pumping because unfortunately I was one of those moms who had such an excruciating time breastfeeding. My husband insisted I breastfeed, so I took it to a higher authority and asked God permission to stop. I was listening to the radio at the time, and the announcer said just in time to answer my question: " Don't quit! God doesn't like quitters!" So of course I continued until I developed mastitis which I took as God's way of saying, OK you can stop now!
You are beyond cute! You should have seen me at 32 weeks. IT was NOT pretty!!!
You look awesome girl! Wow!
it amazing
