Weeks 32 - 33

Time continues to fly!  I need to get your 'bump' picture taken some time this week!  I did one with both of your sisters right around this time, so I think it's only fitting that you have one too!

Not too much going on with you, which is good.  Your sisters are keeping me very busy, so thank you for being such a good baby!  Feel free, however, to let me sleep for more than four hours a night - don't worry, your time will come where I'll be up with you every two hours, so giving me some sleep now won't hurt.

We are off to the doctor again next week, and then we'll be going weekly!!!  WOW!  Once you get under that one month mark time really starts to fly - which doesn't even seem possible.

We also still haven't named you.  Sorry.  :(  We'll get there, I promise!

Here are some pics of you (and your silly sisters!).  They are excited to meet you, as am I!

XOXOXO

33 weeks!

 



Silly Megan (your oldest sister) showing her belly too!








Jessica likes to poke you through my belly button!



Week 31

52 days and counting!  Our last appointment was uneventful, but that's okay with me!  I did find out that baby is head down, which is good. 

I'm beginning to think that you were standing straight up for a while!  I have some severe back pain over the last two weeks, and it has seemed to get a little better.  I can stand now for over an hour without being in extreme pain, as opposed to only 15 minutes.  I'll take it! 

I'm getting very excited (and very nervous) about your arrival.  I hope that I'm able to give you all the love and attention you need AND deserve, while making sure that your sisters Megan and Jessica also get the attention that need (or demand!).  This will be a wonderful learning experience for ALL of us. 

I'll try to get a few more belly pics up.  I haven't really been in a picture taking mood lately.  There are so many things that your body goes through when you are pregnant.  Someday, if being a mom is something you choose to do, you'll understand.  I can't really write all the "yucky" stuff here - some things are just too personal.  :)

And don't worry - we'll name you soon!

XOXOXO

Week 30

30 weeks and 2 days!

Ten weeks left!  Still no name!  I think that you might be like Megan and will not get named until you are born!  :)  Don't worry......like I wrote to Megan......we can't leave the hospital without naming you!!!! 

We had another doctor appointment this week, and all is well.  You are measuring right on schedule, and moving around like a little gymnast.  I would suspect that you're getting a little cramped and just trying to find a good comfy spot to settle down in to.  Try to get your head down.....that's the most comfortable way!
You are definitely a mover and shaker, that's for sure.  Your favorite time over the past few weeks is around 4am.  I nice kick in a kidney wakes me up for a trip to the potty.....then you play around making it very difficult for me to get back to sleep.  You also move around a lot around 8 or 9pm - although sometimes you do wait until I try to head to bed (which isn't much later these days!)

Here are some pics from this week!  Enjoy!!!!
XOXOXO

Weeks 26-29

Happy New Year, Baby Who Has Yet to be Named! We are in the home stretch - almost down to the two month mark!  Wow, does time fly, or what? 

Over the past few weeks, we were getting ready for, and celebrated the Christmas and New Year holidays.  It was a lot of fun, and a lot of travel.  We had a 12 hour car ride to Connecticut to visit with Ma and Pa, then a four hour car ride over to Binghamton, NY to stay with Gega, and a 12 hour ride home back to NC.  Don't worry - you expressed your dislike for travel quite a bit.  I guess being squished up for that long doesn't please you - and you expressed it well by all the kicks, jabs, and bladder squeezes. Nonetheless, we safely traveled for the holiday's and now we are back home preparing for your arrival. 
While I had hoped to have you named by Christmas.....then New Year......both came and went with minimal discussion and no decision.  Don't worry......plenty of time.  :)
Before we all left for vacation, I had the glucose test, along with some other beginning of the third trimester tests, and all is well!  YEAH!  We have another doctor's appoint this week, then I think we start to go back every two weeks.  I'm a little sad that there will not be another ultrasound.  The ones that are done now you really get a good look, but I guess I should be thankful.....no ultrasound means you're doing A-okay!
I've been trying to prepare your sisters for your arrival - but I'm still not too sure they understand that the baby in mommy's belly will soon be OUT of the belly and home with them - and all their toys!  Only time will tell how they will adjust.  :) 
Lots of love to you!
XOXO
