I'm 32 weeks along now and just had my 32 week OB appointment today. All is well with me and the baby. Her heart beat is strong, they say she is growing like she should. They never say anything about my weight gain so I assume its ok. So far I'm up to 33 pounds. She is moving around a lot and kicking me in the ribs. Although, I guess shes not really kicking me since they said she is actually breech right now, so her head is up by my ribs and her butt is down. I had a talk with her today and she has 8 weeks to turn herself the right way!! :) I'm also fighting off some kind of upper respiratory sickness. I think maybe its a cold that is taking FOREVER to go away. I felt so bad by the middle of the week I was convinced it was the flu, but I never had any fevers and it is clearing up now, just taking forever. One of the joys of being 8 months pregnant and having a cold is that you cant really stop a sneeze from coming out or a forceful cough...and sometimes...it makes you pee on yourself. Silas has found this fact to be hilarious....it is pretty funny.
I had my first baby shower on Saturday. It was amazing. I was so surprised at how many people and gifts were there. I am so blessed!! The cake was so cute, it was decorated to match the theme of the nursery and the flower arrangments were gorgeous!! I have the two best sisters ever and a great cousin in law too :) It was so fun to come home and really go through everything and see what kind of stuff she got. Silas sat in the living room with me and just stared at it, then he was like so...I am really gonna be a dad. It was cute. I think it finally hit him with all the baby stuff that came in the house.
For the next few weeks I am busying myself in the nursery. Putting away clothes and decorating, hopefully it will be done soon and I can post pictures. It is turning out so cute. Her daddy built her a shelf to hang on the wall to hold her quilt until we can use it. I thought that was really sweet and it looks so good.
Only 8 more weeks to go!!!
