32 Weeks... ugh.

Well, here I am, just a few weeks away. 8 months pregnant. Ugh is all I can say! I had an appointment last week and the doctor wants me to stay close to home. Paul and I have Broadway tickets for May 23 and I have instructions to go in and be checked before we go unless I want to deliver in Manhattan. I'll only be 34 weeks at that point, but with Noah I was 5cm dialed at 35 weeks and she doesn't want to take chances. (neither do I!).

Everything is going just fine. I was having some blood pressure/headache issues and the doctor was starting to suggest leaving work early but I asked for a second chance to reduce some stress and she agreed. My headaches disappeared and my bp came right down.

It's a very weird feeling to be 32 weeks, because if I think about 37 weeks that's only 5 weeks away and that totally freaks me out! But if I think 40 weeks then 8 weeks seems like a lot more time. Overanalyze much?

I have definitely entered bigdom and it totally sucks. No matter what I wear or how I sit I just feel large. And I am sooooooooo tired. Yesterday I didn't think I was going to make it through the day. I don't remember feeling this tired with Noah but I am completely wiped out to the point of extreme fatigue. It also doesn't help that Noah is beginning to fight his nap which is normal for a 3 year old and many of his friends don't nap anymore at 3. But for a pregnant momma who can't manage to store up any energy, a wired and overtired 3 year old is an arch nemesis!

So, slowly but surely we keep pecking away at baby stuff. I made this bulletin board from the fabric I bought and I really love the way it turned out. I also got the buttons from etsy.




I got this cool bank from artfire:


And I bought some blinds for the room finally.

Last night some friends and I sat down and made a mobile which isn't finished yet, but I am totally in love with it and I'll post pictures soon. We also have had some friends lend us some hand me downs and so we feel good about having enough clothes ready. I'm still struggling with stroller decisions and what will work best. It stinks because there is no way to know what I will like until I use it! I'm leaning toward a sit and stand and a double jogger (I use my single jogger allllll the time) Any suggestions in that department would be appreaciated.

Noah is also beginning to show some less favorable signs about the baby coming. He begged for a high chair today after resisting one for the past 14 months. He was asking for diapers when I got them out. Today he sat in the bouncer and kept mumbling baby noises and refused to use words. And yesterday I was holding a friends baby (which I do all the time) and he lost it. He immediately wanted to be picked up and wanted to go in the baby swing at the park. So, I'm not sure how to do all of this since he is 3 and really aware of what's happening. Not that I've ever been sure how to do any of this!!!!!! But.... in the next 2-3 months we'll figure it out, won't we!!!!!!!
