*Said like Franck Eggelhoffer, Father of the Bride, Part II. You've got to watch this. Magical.
Here is our lovely abode at the moment and one of my shower cakes:
As I sit here eating my
cold, leftover spaghetti (which tastes like heaven), I am so overwhelmed! EVER
SO GRATEFUL, but overwhelmed! Two baby showers in one week: one given by my GULS (Court, Molls, Meg, Hillary, Kate & Emmy) and the other by my work wife Rachel and faculty at school. Now…I guess
this is where the nesting comes in handy! I've done a few things, but waiting
on some storage for the nursery to actually put stuff away. Good thing I will
have all of June, a mom and sister off work, and a husband who shakes his head “yes
dear” when it comes to organizing, then exits to the garage.
The Usual Prego Update:
How Far Along: 32 weeks-she is getting rowdy in there, almost 4 lbs!
Maternity Clothes: still a mix of maternity and flowing regular tops, all maternity
bottoms, as many dresses/skirts as possible
Sleep: up
2-3 times per night to feel my way to the bathroom and shift the belly.
Best Moment This Week: Katie has done an AMAZING job on the nursery walls
(see her FB) and TWO baby showers! I walk in there every morning, smiling and talk to nobody-well, I guess Norah hears me.
Miss Anything: Frozen Margaritas and allergy shots
Movement: I was right about having my own Sophia Grace in there! Always
dancing/kicking/hiccupping! I got a cool video of her having the hiccups
today-sister thought is was amazing, husband thinks its weird. Goof.
Food Cravings: I’m pretty open to any type of food…frequently.
Anything making me sick or nauseas: the “birthing” process…still in the fetal position
crying with a mix of nervous laughter. Mom....
Gender: Got
Pink?
Labor Signs: “pressure down there” which is fun to explain at school as to why I
have to stop walking, talking, snacking, etc. and rest for a minute.
Symptoms:
Sleepy. Hungry. Thirsty. Fussy. Repeat. (Am I a newborn? My family would have to say YES)
Belly Button: It’s out. Eva loves it. The husband, once again, thinks it looks
weird. Can’t wait for his reaction in labor & delivery…once again, enter sisters/mom.
Wedding Rings: On
Happy or Moody: 9 days left of school…I’m about to lose it. Just. Keep. Swimming.
Looking Forward To: Shopping with the sista’s on Friday for hers room
(I’ve already found the hot dog stand where I want to eat), Nesting,
wedding/baby showers, last days of school...These are the Days of our Lives...
