So I am now officially 33 weeks along… ummm where did the time go! If I do have this precious little one around my due date, we are only talking about 7 more weeks! That is absolutely hard to believe! As the weeks dwindle down, I'm getting more and more anxious to meet our baby girl! I keep trying to picture what she is going to look like and what it is going to be like to look into those adorable little eyes! (oh man… tearing up just thinking about it!) She sure is not shy about letting me know that she is in my belly and doing fine (although maybe a little cramped! – I don't know how I'm going to fit her in my belly when she is still going to almost double in size!) She is definately a mover and shaker! Brad and I actually found out last night what kind of music she really likes… PHISH! Surprise surprise! I had fallen asleep on the couch and Brad was playing video games. At one point he decided to put on some music (Live Phish album from Alpine Valley) instead of listening to the video game. As soon as he put the music on, I woke up and baby girl was moving and kicking up a storm! She didn't start moving until the music came on… and didn't slow down until a song or two later! Brad was so happy to know he was already rubbing off on his little girl!
In getting ready for the new arrival, last weekend my parents came down and brought the dresser that they refinished for the nursery, along with the white rocker that my Nanny gave us for the nursery. These were the last 2 major pieces we needed in order to put the nursery together. So after last weekend, the nursery is finally almost finished. I have a few last touches to add (a few things on the wall and hanging up the mobile), but other than that, it actually really looks like a nursery now. Its hard to believe that there will actually be a darling baby sleeping in that room so very soon! I just can't wait! hope she loves it as much as Brad & I do. Brad even said that he could just hang out in the room because it feels so cozy now!
Well besides all these "warm fuzzy" things going on with the baby, some of the discomforts that come along with your 3rd trimester are really setting in. Sleeping is still quite an issue… constantly tossing and turning, and my hips are getting really sore and tight from having to sleep on my side. My big belly is starting to really crowd my ribs, making it slightly more difficult to breathe at times. And when baby girl kicks my ribs, it literally takes my breathe away! Its amazing how strong a 4lb baby can be inside of you! I also am having a harder and harder time putting on socks and shoes because there is no comfortable way to work around this belly! I somehow manage… but I'm sure it is quite the scene if anyone were to watch me do it! Slip ons are going to be my best friend very soon!!
But seriously people… 7 more weeks! Thats it until this little miracle is here! Wow! I'm going to be in disbelieve until she is in my arms and I can kiss that little face of hers! Oh how I can't wait!
Hope you all have a fab week!
