32-Week Update
· I am feeling amazing – as long as I don’t eat a big heavy meal, eat too fast (biggest challenge) and eat really often.
· I am truly enjoying the following combinations: mozzarella/basil/tomato/balsamic and feta/olives/spinach (romaine)/tomatoes
· Mike is becoming amazing at massages – thank you birth classes and constant practice.
· I have never felt more beautiful – due to lots of time in the sun and tons of relaxation. Also, first time in my life I have a solid tummy J rock hard.
· There is a crazy cycle that runs my life – water, bathroom, more water, bathroom
· Our big boy is constantly moving – to the point that you can see him move my belly (after eating can be slightly uncomfortable, but always a pleasure). Real conversation:
“Oh
man, my son is hungry”
Collegue,
“How do you know?”
“Watch”
My
stomach jerks out twice… “he’s kicking”
“That
is nuts!”
Pride.
·
He loves to kick me when he is hungry, thirsty,
or just needs a little attention – I am happy to give him any of the three – at
any time of the day.
·
Night time is a like a box of chocolate – you never
know what you are going to get… sometimes it’s unbelievably great sleep (I’m
out cold), but more times than not it’s filled with tossing and turning.
·
Even in sleeplessness, I am at peace – thinking
about and praying for our little family. Nights provide a time with God and
baby…and a beautiful sleeping hubby.
·
Pillow talk and date night convo always end in
predictions – what will he look like? What will he sound like? Will he be a
mama’s boy?
·
I don’t remember being so excited about anything
in my life…especially in which I know there will be sleepless nights, slight
restrictions on life, and complete uncertainty
·
I’m in love with someone that I’ve never
officially met in person…only thing resembling this love is my relationship
with Christ. I know they are with me at all times - never seen them, but
my heart is filled with nothing but warm fuzzies at the thought of them.
·
FIVE weeks until I am full term… EIGHT weeks until my
“due” date…my life changes forever and I cannot be more ready for this
experience…I think.
·
Delivery still feels too far away to have any
fears – I just see it as my means to an end beginning
·
The last three months have been some of the best
and most intimate times of my life …definitely matches up to my
pre-wedding/wedding/honeymoon season (LOOOVVVEEED THAT SEASON OF LIFE)
·
Mike and I laugh at the drastic growth of my
belly and feet from morning to evening…
·
Our nursery is fully stocked – thanks to my
mother and her 70-person baby shower AND the greatest friends/family in the
world.
Now for the thank you
cards………….
