It's getting closer

Am I really almost 33 weeks pregnant? How did this happen? Not long ago I remember being 7-8 weeks pregnant and feeling horrible. I remember thinking I can't do this. I am not strong enough. I didn't believe anyone when they said it would go away. At the time it just didn't seem possible, Thankfully each week got a little better and by 24 weeks I was able eat regularly. I'm officially at 2 week appointments which seems to make the time go extra fast. 

This is what it's been like leading up to 32 weeks.

Pregnant at Christmas time was just a tease. Next year we can't wait to have you here and really start enjoying all the magical moments kids bring. I'm finally realizing people will say anything that comes to mind. The week leading up to Christmas I was approached in the elevator at work by two middle aged women. It started out with the normal when are you due with the big eye glares(referring I'm small). I reassured them how I wasn't able to eat much in beginning and it was my first. Then getting off the elevator one of the women said "I can tell you are close because your nostrils are widened". I was a little thrown off just decided to laugh and continue to walk. Most people that know me know I have a very distinct nose also referred to being a family joke as a pig nose. It's okay it's also shared by my bigger brother. I like my nose and am not ashamed by it. In the same week I reached a new time high of clumsiness I managed to hit my head on the ceiling jumping down the stairs. Yes, picture that without laughing. Of course being 7 months pregnant my hormones gave a much different response. The next night I was WALKING down the stairs and my ankle gave out. There was a much similar response. I was home alone so I crawled up the stairs to our bedroom with my now throbbing ankle. I had received my first sprained ankle the day before Christmas Eve. Luckily the swelling/pain went down in a few days and it was only minor. As you can see it had been an interesting month. You just can't make all that up.

We have finally completed your nursery! Can't wait to post pics and show it off. We also get to shower you tomorrow. I can't wait to see everyone. Then we can get the last of what we need and impatiently wait your arrival. I have been in the stage of nesting. Organizing rooms, closets, and well everything. I went through some of Trav and I's child hood stuff. I found my official stats and first year firsts. Here are some of my stats.

Born: 8lb 9oz 21 3/4 in long (big girl)

First smile: two months 

First tooth: five months 

First full night of sleep lol: 8 months

First steps: eleven months

 

We expect that you will be long and well rounded. Either way you will be perfect. I get more anxious each day goes by. I am getting more nervous as d-day draws near but I know you will be well worth the wait. I have no feeling on if you will be early or late. I did read on my app that delivery/timing can be hereditary to your mother. If that's the case then you could be 1-3 weeks early. Your Mimi went early with us. I really am just enjoying pregnancy and the last weeks we have left with you all to myself. I struggled in the beginning but I'm in a good place right now. I know I will miss this time where you are always with me. Your dad wants you here so I can share. I guess our days together are numbered. It won't be long now little guy, hang in there.

XOXO

Your mommy to be
