33 weeks

33 weeks holding up mobile

 I'll get a better view of the mobile once it's up over the crib, but here I am holding it at 33weeks along. The mobile has a raccoon, owl (turned backwards in the pic), cloud and 2 leaves. Thanks Lisa for doing a lot of the work! And Brandon helped a lot too! Our little boy seems to be doing fine. He is quite active, but doesn't cause me too much discomfort. A lot of the time I see him stick out on either side of me, so I'm guessing he hasn't turned head down yet.

sleeping situation

Sleeping is going okay. I have a nice ramp to sleep on to help with the heartburn/reflux, and I have a side pillow for between my knees. Sometimes I have one on either side of me to get comfortable and to prop my arms out. My right arm and hand cause me the worst pain, but it usually doesn't wake me up until around 5am (sometimes 3ish though). Next to the bed I have my Tums, wrist brace (doesn't really help) and breathe right strip. Of course water also by the bed! Brandon sleeps somewhere down there on the other side of the bed :) And the cats curl up at the bottom.


I'm also starting to get some crazy leg swelling by the end of the day! We only have two more baby/labor/delivery classes, this month has gone by quickly! Looking forward to Christmas with the family!


ETA: Also we noted development of the linea negra this week and the baby seems to by lying sideways/transverse most of the time

32 weeks

 Raquel and Lisa threw a beautiful shower!

32 weeks

32 weeks was exciting because Lisa was here! She and Raquel threw me such a beautiful shower! She also helped me get a little more organized in the nursery and make a fun mobile for the room! We had a lot of fun hanging out. Seeing all the clothes and gifts at the shower really made meeting our little boy soon seem so real! My 32 week appointment went fine, and we are still enjoying our baby preparation classes. We got to skip ahead a bit and do a tour of the hospital where we will deliver and learn about taking care of a newborn. 

31 weeks

31 weeks! Not too much has changed since last post, just more of what I described below. I've also started to see a bit of foot/ankle/leg swelling at the end of the day. Our first labor/delivery/baby class went well last week. We got the main piece of art up on the wall as you can see. Also, Lisa comes to visit this weekend for the baby shower! Yay! Time is marching along quickly for now! My next doctor's visit is next week, then I will start having appointments every two weeks.
