Week 32~

Week 32~

Can you believe that we have gotten this far? I sometimes feel amazed at the time, but other times I think we still have so much longer to go. I’m trying to think that May will be a busy month and speed by with little stress. This week has been pretty easy. I have just been dealing with recovering from another kidney infection. It’s seems to be the story of my life. I strongly believe if I’m not dealing with one thing then it’s another. I got another sickness from the antibiotics they gave me. I did see the midwife this week and hopefully all these little yucky things will now clear up. Then I had some other stuff go on, but that seems to be the story of my pregnancy. I have had pretty bad heartburn through my pregnancy, but on Sunday night it was so horrific that for the second time in my pregnancy is made me vomit. After I got back in bed I said to Jake, “She better be born with some hair. Then I know that this heartburn was not for nothing.” I guess this is my payback for never getting morning sickness.

This week it was so nice to finally feel like we got back into the swing of normal life again. I worked one day at the school and didn’t realize how tired I would be after a day of working. I guess when you’re used to being a home body and doing things at your own pace it’s different than following a schedule. I really enjoyed going to work and hoping to do a bit more before the baby is born. Jake was worried about me and thought maybe I should not work anymore just because of how exhausted I was. My belly started hurting because of more stretching. It now is very painful when I get the occasional knee. It feels like she might bust right out of my stomach. I have also noticed that her activity has gone way down. I keep telling myself it’s only because she is getting so much bigger and not able to move as much. I sometime think that I might be the most paranoid pregnant lady in the world. I’m not afraid to call the midwife if I have not felt her move in while and go get checked out. I know I’m nuts, but I’m okay with it.

I had a wonderful baby shower on Saturday. It was so much fun and I’m so happy that Joy and Heidi decided to throw it for me. The food was AMAZING and the games were fun. I got some really good laughs out of the party, and had so much fun with the girls. It’s so nice to get out of the house and have girl talk. It was so nice to see friends and our little girl got super spoiled again. When Jake and I got home he said to me, “I can’t believe that someone who is not even born yet can have so much stuff.” Thank you to everyone who has come to one of my showers. You have really made me and our little girl feel special. I now just have to kick into high gear and finish my thank you cards.

P.S.-Only 45 more days till the bun in the oven is done. Can you tell that the baby has dropped? I'm pretty sure that she has, but I will find out for sure this week when I have a doctors appointment.
