32 weeks


Had my bi weekly Dr. appointment this morning; weight gain is still going as it should (but I would kind of like it to stop...haha...though I know baby girl needs to gain a few more pounds), and speaking of baby girl, she is measuring well and her heartbeat was in the 140s today (love the sound of her heart beating away!!!!). At my last appointment she was head down and butt up, getting ready for the delivery position! Today they didn't see where she was at, but she's probably in the same spot. She's been getting the hiccups more often and I can feel them down lower. I'm getting more cramps and having some contractions here and there, which is all normal. It just means my body is getting ready for the big day.

Her movements have been craazzyy strong! Sometimes her punches/kicks/elbows hit hard and my belly jerks to the side/out, hits the bed and makes it move, and bounces my book or computer near by. It cracks me up every time! I want to get a video of it but of course she stops doing it when I'm ready! One day-hopefully!

Realizing her due date is coming around the corner makes me kind of freak out with all the little things I want/need to do to get ready. Trying not to stress though because I know that doesn't help, nor is it good for me or the baby (or even Steven for that matter-he doesn't want to deal with psycho lady over here). But I want to be all set and prepped for the delivery and bringing this little girl home!

Our birthing classes are going good. We are almost done with one of them (Childbirth Prep-it's one day a week, for 4 weeks), finished one called Baby Care Basics and tonight we have one on breastfeeding. Steven has been great support, still going to everyone with me. Some of the info we already knew and some has been brand new. It has me thinking a lot more about what I would like to try and maybe try to avoid during labor and delivery. I'm in major prayer about how it will all play out for me, baby girl and also Steven. Thankfully I'm not feeling anxious or worried, but I just want to have peace towards anything that will happen (how it will feel, too) and have a good head on about the choices we make throughout it all.

I love this time of year with the Christmas trees going up, the lights, sweater and scarf weather, baked goods baking in the oven (of course I had to mention food!) and my favorite holiday; CHRISTMAS...and then my birthday shortly after! Next year we will have a little one who we will start new traditions with and share in the joy! Oh how I have so much excitement bursting within!
