32 1/2 weeks...that half week matters!!

This week I noticed most comments about pregnancy are negative, including my own. Although it's not my favorite time it isn't as bad as we make it sound. I feel blessed that Jason and I are able to have our own children and didn't have to try for a long time to get this blessing of ours. 

When we moved from Ponca I was most sad about not being near my in-laws and leaving some of our really good friends, the Dickisons. I still miss them so much but I am glad I have made the friends I have since we have been in Yukon. One of the FF wives that colors my hair is due just 2 weeks before me and it has been fun to talk about our pregnancies together. She is sweet enough to throw me a diaper shower in a couple weekends too. 

I really have felt blessed this week, we have a lovely home, great friends and family, Jason has provided for our family beyond our needs, Jaden is probably the sweetest kid ever, and we are blessed with another baby who I am sure will be just as sweet. I've been able to finish school while I stay at home with the kiddos and I feel so lucky to do that!

Alright enough cheesy stuff....

How far along: 

32 weeks and 4 days to be exact. at this point I count the half weeks because I just want it to get here! Baby is the size of a pineapple. At my last appointment my doctor said I was measuring small so he will probably be a small baby. Jaden was only 6 pounds so this one might be just as small. We will see!

Maternity clothes: 

Yep, but I am too big for most of what I have so they are uncomfortable, but since I have less than 2 months less I don't want to go out and buy more....I hate that you only wear them for such a short time, I feel like they should be half the price! 

Sleep: 

I need lots of it. I am just always so tired lately! 

Best moment of this week: 

We had dinner with my in-laws and it was so good to sit and talk with them for a while, Jaden loves to see them. I had a to-do list of little things I wanted done around the house and Jason took the day to get them all done. It was/is nice to see things around the house get done. I love our new house :) I also bought a body pillow and I wish I did it a lot sooner. 

Miss anything: 

My mom! I have been wanting her around so much lately. I wish she could just move in with me!! 

Movement:

Still lots of it. I swear if the kid were any lower on my bladder his head would come out. I keep reading in my updates that the movement will be less often but that has yet to happen. 

Food cravings:  

WATER! I can't drink enough water. I gave in and bought Oreos the other day and they were delicious. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: 

feeling good!

Have you started to show yet:

This question is stupid at this point haha. 

Gender: 

Boy! 

Belly button in or out: 

out

Looking forward to: 

Mona's wedding! My diaper shower, getting my hair colored and cut...it needs it! I am excited to pick a name too. We have a list of 3 and decided we would decide on a name when he gets here. I am excited to see what we choose.
 I am excited to nurse this time around too. I feel more educated and care more about it this time, and will have things that make it a little easier that I didn't bother buying with Jaden. Even simple things like a nursing bra. 

31 down, 9 (or less) to go!

How far along: 31 weeks. Baby is the size of a coconut and heading into a growth spurt (which means I am too, great.) Just 9 weeks to go, I wouldn't be upset if he came earlier :) Just as long as I am back from my trip to Vegas!

Maternity clothes: All day...

Sleep: I think I get enough sleep, not way comfortable but I am not waking up as often at night. I have had a few nights that I wake up wide awake in the middle of the night but luckily Jaden takes long naps, which means I usually get a nap in too!

Best moment of this week: My doctor appointment! It was my second appointment with my new doctor, and the first one Jason has gone to with me. I didn't like this new doctor at my first visit and really debated to change, but at this last visit we sat and talked about my plan during delivery and how to handle things. He is very quiet and calm, but easy to talk to. He already performs a lot of things that I mentioned I wanted in the delivery, which made me so relieved! Also, I was able to spend some time talking with my mom this week. We usually talk once a week and I love it, she is so easy to talk to and I tell her everything. Can't wait to have sleepovers with her next month!

Miss anything: Not being pregnant :) 

Movement: yep! It's not constant flutter movements, but I feel him punching and rolling so much during the day. I am more uncomfortable this time because he is so low and it's hard to sit for a long time. My hips start to hurt and he is always in the wrong spot...it wasn't like that with Jaden. 

Food cravings:  Very unhealthy things!! Oreos is my craving this week, and I've thought about how good it would be to dip the oreo in either peanut butter or rainbow chip frosting, then dip that all in milk. That's diabetes waiting to happen. Raisin bread, nutella, pumpkin and apple cider are also things I have been craving. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: not really. 

Have you started to show yet: I'm past showing, and just look huge :(

Gender: BOY!!! I have a feeling this one will have red hair. I had a dream the doctor told me he had a head full of red hair too. I hope he does! Jason was the cutest stinkin red head. 

Belly button in or out: Out. People make comments about it all the time, as if I don't know. 

Looking forward to: Getting the boys room done. Jaden's need painted and then we need to get the nursery done, duh. I'm excited for my trip to Vegas for Mona's wedding too! I'm glad I am able to make it, just wish I was going without a round face. The holidays are coming up and we will have family here for Christmas and my mom will be here for a week when the baby is born, I am excited to have family visit!

I feel like I have complained a lot this pregnancy, and reading how I answer these questions just confirm that, but honestly it hasn't been that bad. I just feel pregnant! The hardest part is feeling like I have no control over my body.
