Week 32

Somehow this pregnancy has flown by. It is hard to believe that we are less than two months away from having a newborn in our house again. I can't wait to meet her and see what she looks like and find out what her little personality is like! She is very active most days but based on the direction of her kicks (down LOW) I can tell she is still breech. It is those low kicks and her growing size that have lately made me feel like I live in the bathroom. :) I have been getting up usually twice a night to go to the bathroom which seems to be adding to the fatigue. Marc called last night (he was on-call) and I told him I was getting ready to go to sleep. He replied, "But it is only 8:45... you must be REALLY tired." I do feel pretty tired these days. I have been resorting to some easy meals for dinner (ie. roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight!) and propping my feet often.

We are slowly chipping away at the study that is going to be Hailey's room. I am so thankful we are not changing the wall color because I can't imagine when we would find the time to paint it. The furniture will be arriving in 2-3 weeks and my parents are coming in a few weeks to help get the room situated. I know it will all come together in time and frankly, I just don't have any energy at this point to feel any different. Ha! I hope to start working on a canvas painting for her room this weekend which I am looking forward to.

I have my next OB appointment on Friday. I was measuring about a week or two ahead last time that I saw the nurse practioner so I am anxious to see if my doctor finds the same thing at this appointment. This week I passed how much weight I gained with my pregnancy with Eli but I am still on track for my 30 lb. goal with this pregnancy. I have craved sweets like crazy this time around which makes it more difficult. I am constantly thinking about dessert and icecream!

Week 32

And just for fun, here is Eli after dinner tonight enjoying some yogurt. Some days he is really good with his spoon or fork and other days... well you can see for yourself. I do have to brag on him that he ate three baby cooked carrots tonight AND some mashed potatoes. It was almost too much to handle! I am really trying to offer him only what we are eating to encourage him to try new things and so that I don't get stuck making more than one meal a night. It is slowly starting to work with the vegetables and main dishes (still no luck on the fruits). He seems to be much more eager to try new things if we try it at the same time with him. :)
