Oh, I've been slacking.

Well, here's a 31 week picture. I am 4 days late to take the 32 week one. Oops.

I'm growing outwards and not much upwards. Baby seems to have gone down a bit actually because I feel her really really low in my pelvis and I've been needing to pee more than before.

Other complains - my upper back hurts from carrying this big gut, my feet have begun to swell near the toes and balls of feet, also I'm starting to get extremely tired again.

Baby is moving a lot - and a lot stronger. You can see from the outside of my shirts her jiggling from side to side. Her movements are beginning to hurt as a matter of fact. I enjoy every one of course.

We recently had 2 baby showers from both of our works. They were so wonderful and we were showered with many many gifts from an electric swing to butt creams to handmade blankies!

On preparations - I've been reading a lot on labor, natural and attended a class on anesthesia. I have a much better idea of what I would like for my birth plan, and have a goal of not getting an epidural until 5 cm dialated. (we'll see!)

No, I have not packed my hospital bag and no, the nursery is not finished! So much to do and there's only 7 weeks left. Yikes.
