32 Weeks

Baby Girl is about 4 pounds and boy do these little pounds feel HEAVY! She is still kicking and squirming around which is a good thing. I like it. I have heard that you may be able to hear her through a stethoscope, so I have been trying with minimal success. I can hear slushing but Douglas says I think I hear more only because I can feel her when shes moving. I think he just has bad hearing... lol.

I have 5 more weeks of work before I go on maternity leave. It is definitely getting harder. I am tired the second I get there and am struggling with potty breaks, back aches, headaches and just trying to keep up with the kiddos. Preparing to leave is getting busy. I want to make sure I can make the transition for the kids as easy and unobtrusive as possible.

Dreams (more like nightmares) occur almost 0every night now. They seem so real and usually end up with me waking up in sweats and/or crying. Is this common???

Dingo is becoming more and more protective. Every little noise she attacks it especially when Douglas is working. I'm glad she is wanting to watch over us but can a girl get some sleep? ;)   

Nursery Update:
The room in painted and I love it! Looking for decals for the wall to add a little more "oomph". We have found some on Etsy, but now to decide...a lot easier said then done. We are hoping to put the crib together this weekend, at least start to.

Names:
We had come to a short list but  havn't decided yet. We probably won't until she is born and we meet her. We can NOT WAIT TO MEET HER!!!!

Registered:
Cribs and Cradles: Gift Cards PLEASE!

31 Weeks

9 weeks to go!!!!! We had our second birthing class today and there was a lot of drug talk. I thought I was pretty certain I was going to do the drugs but now I'm not as sure. In fact I'm more nervous and uncertain. What are everyone's thoughts? Drugs or not?? The belly is getting heavier so I broke down and got a belt that I'm hoping will get me through my work days and make carrying this extra weight around easier. I had some major back pain the other day almost to the point it made me think I was having contractions - I'm thinking Braxton Hicks but in my back? Douglas and I have been practicing breathing and different positions to help make labor easier. He is so good about helping me relax which is good considering I'm getting more and more nervous.

Help me fight against cancer ~~

30 weeks

And starts the countdown: 10 weeks .......

We had our first birthing class today. Wow, now I know why they usually separate them into several classes. There was so much information complete with video of a birth in action. Yeah, there will be no cameras in my room, just saying.

I'm getting eager to get the nursery all put together. We are getting it painted on Thursday (lavender and antique white): pictures to follow.

Not much else to say just trying to be still and enjoy the miracle inside me.

Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. Job 37:14
