Hello 32 weeks!  I'd be lying if I said this pregnancy isn't starting to get really hard.  My doctor says it's perfectly normal to feel this way, but I guess I just thought it wouldn't happen until I was closer to 36 weeks or so.  I thought I had another month before I lost all my energy, but this third trimester (and the heat of the summer) has hit me like a ton of bricks!

 

At my dr. appointment last Wednesday, he mentioned that everything was progressing along as normal for being 32 weeks and at the time it didn't even occur to me, that I was supposed to be 31 weeks.  I'm not sure if he just read my chart wrong, or if my ultrasound that day was measuring me to be a little larger, but I'll find out for sure this Thursday at my next appointment!  Oh man that would be awesome if I was farther along than I thought, even if it is only a week.  Truth be told I'm hoping she'll come on the 11th of July... as long as she's healthy of course!

 

My baby shower is this coming Saturday and I am so excited.  It's been a long time since I've been able to get together with all of my family and I'm hoping this week flies by.  I've also got us signed up for a lamaze-type class next Saturday in Roswell.  I was a little apprehensive about attending one, because I've read that those types of classes really can't prepare you for what actually happens in the delivery room, but I've been starting to get really anxious about birth.  I figure if nothing else, it'll be good to get an idea of what is supposed to happen - even if nothing goes as planned on that big day.

 

The nursery is still in a holding stage... we're waiting for some wall decor I had made on Etsy to come in so we can get it all finished up.  I'll write a blog post on it once it's completely done.

 

With 8 weeks (hopefully less) left to go I'm feeling very tired.  My hips and back hurt all the time and it's hard to start walking once I've been sitting down for any length of time.  It feels like she's dropped some and I swear sometimes it feels like she's going to fall out.  I've definitely got a little waddle going on in my step these days!  My legs and feet are swelling like crazy and I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing pedicure this afternoon when I get off work.

 

I've been mowing the yard, but with the temps in the 100's now, I think I'm going to have to step back away from the yard work for a bit.  Graham's been grilling nearly every night and it's helped so, so much.  He's a lifesaver and such a good husband.  Just love that man!! 

 

Keep our little family in your prayers - we're getting closer!!!
