I know, I know. I am behind. I don’t know where my mind has been for about the past four weeks. I’m seriously blaming pregnancy brain. I was trying to explain my recent lack of intelligence to my mom the other day. I told her…..
…it feels like I have worthless goo filling my head instead of a brain.
Week 31
Look at our baby grow!
Week 31 up
I’m feeling overwhelmingly blessed that I’m still moving well and doing okay. I am still able to be active and keep some sense of ‘me’. I will admit, it’s getting tougher but I’m doing okay!
I was also able to meet up with my best friend from college in a town about an hour away. She had a doctor’s appointment {she is expecting too!!} and we were going to meet up after her appointment. BUT, the doctor decided he’d admit her in the hospital to watch her & her baby’s heart for a couple of hours. So, we spent two hours in a hospital talking. The circumstances weren’t the greatest but it was TWO hours of uninterrupted talk time with my bestie! It was wonderful! 🙂

I am not fond of the funny noises that I make when bending over or doing simple tasks. It is probably due to the lack of space for my lungs and such, but —–I feel silly and I’m a tad afraid that it’s going to become a habit.
Week 32
32 weeks and growing strong
Week 32 up
My mom & sister came to help with the nursery. Knocked.it.out.of.the.park. ….I had been feeling really stressed about our nursery not being ready for a baby but with the help of my mom & sister- we are officially as ready! …….Well, as ready as new parents can be. Thank you mom & sister. I love you with my whole heart!
I’ll have to do a nursery update here pretty soon- before the permanent resident moves in 🙂
Week 32 down
I had a doctor’s appointment. That part isn’t the down. I’m actually on the same page as my doctor now. We’re friends. On to the down…. I woke up early that morning sick- truly sick. Like really sick.….. I didn’t know if I’d be able to make the 80’ish minute trip to the doctor. I spent the morning on the phone to my sister- because I’m not embarrassed to tell her anything, poor soul. I had to talk it out with her to see if she thought I could make it to the doctor. About 10 minutes before I needed to hit the road my body decided to corporate long enough for me to make it to the doctor.
Here’s the kicker for the morning, I thought it was my Group B Strep test day. Luckily, he said that it was going to be scheduled for the next appointment. Thank heavens! ….I’m still quite nervous about the Group B Strep test. I guess I’m more nervous for the results, not for the test. I’ll probably cry a little (or a lot) if I find out that I’m positive.
Week 33
Growing bump!
Week 33 up
My best friend from college had her baby! {the one I met up with a few weeks earlier} She is doing well and her baby boy is doing wonderfully. Both are healthy, safe, and doing well! MAJOR UP! MAJOR BLESSING! ….Our kids are going to be best friends or date, depending on gender- they have no choice in the matter; their mommies have already decided.
I got the baby clothes (loaned from my AMAZING sister) washed and put away. {sidenote- also a down. Who knew it takes 4 times as long to fold little clothes!) 🙂 Still excited about it though.
Week 33 down
I spent a few days on my bum with common core academy trying to learn and my feet got SUPER fat. It hurt really bad- for real. The feet were huge and I was NOT okay with it- my feet swelling had not been a major problem to this point, except when I’m sitting all.day.long. I was a tad ticked that I couldn’t fix the problem. Plus the whole 7:00 am- 5:30 pm thing kind of cuts into a workout. Especially since it won’t cool off in the evenings- even for a walk. I did take a walk at 9:00 one evening becasue I thought it was cooling off—- later found out that it was still 94* out. Oops!
