32 Weeks

Wow, I can't believe that I am 32 weeks today!  Granted... I am ready to be done now.... but I know the end is near!  The joys of the 3rd Trimester are in full swing.  Sleeping is difficult.  I wake up to roll over or go to the bathroom.  By the end of the day all I want to do is lay on the couch in a horizontal position.  (This is difficult when you have a 3 1/2 year old wanting to play.)  Bending over has also become a challenge... with that so has putting on socks and shoes!  Thank goodness for slip on shoes. 

I now get to go to the doctor every 2 weeks.  I have mastered peeing in a cup, which can be a challenge when your belly blocks your view.  I also miss seeing my feet!

We have finally come up with a few names.  (Actually one boys name and one girls name.)  I hope that our little one looks like the names we have picked!  Otherwise, we are back to square one... Note to self... Pack baby name book in hospital bag.  (Which reminds me that I should maybe do this sooner than later.)

Kaitlyn came 5 weeks early, so I am starting to get a little anxious that the same thing will happen this time.  I have suspended all travel from here to the end until the baby comes.  I am determined to deliver at Ridgeview this time. 

I haven't gained too much weight!  (Which I am happy about.)  At my last appointment I had gained 15 lbs. and should gain about a pound a week until delivery. 

Kaitlyn is getting excited to meet her new brother or sister.  She loves to talk to my belly and give it kisses. 

We asked her what we should name the baby.  Her response is: "Jesus".  So, we might be having a baby Jesus.  If you ask her what babies do.... she says: "Cry and Poop, Cry and Poop".

I have found this little one is very active throughout the day.  I don't remember Kaitlyn being this active.  My stomach likes to conform to odd shapes, while our little one tries out new dance moves.  It is fun to put a remote or cell phone on my belly and watch it move around. 

So the countdown has begun!  8 more weeks to go!  We can't wait to meet this little one.  We are so happy that we decided to wait to find out the sex.  It makes the journey that much more worth it!
