{32 weeks}

Less than 2 months until my due date! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't in a hurry to have these last few months past me. I've definitely gotten past the "whee, I'm pregnant!" stage and am firmly in the "omg, I still have 7-8 weeks left?! Save me" stage. I don't think it matters how much you love pregnancy, you eventually get to that point where the attention is starting to get old and you just want everyone to focus on a cute little newborn....instead of your cute, not so little belly. ;) 


Weight gain  - No idea, really. Scale has me up maybe a pound. I'm really hoping to say in the 2lbs range when I got back to the doctor in 1.5 weeks (but knowing me, that won't happen). My taste buds are completely shot since being sick, so you'd think that would make me lose my appetite a bit, but nope. :) I wish I was one of those people who carry extra weight well, but I'm the kind whose extra weight goes straight to their face, butt, and thighs..lol. 


Movement - while I was sick his movements did decrease a bit. It didn't worry me too much, especially since he picked back up as soon as I started feeling better. He's been a little acrobat today, even some hard enough to make me wince. At one point I really think I felt his head right beside my belly button. If it was, then maybe he'll get with the program and flip on around. If it was his booty (although it felt to hard for that) then he was either transverse of head down for a bit. I think he's back to breech, though. I'm starting to get a bad feeling about him never flipping around. I know I'm going to harass my doctor every time I see him wanting to know Declan's position.


Irrational fear this week - All good here. All my fears are centered around what's left to do in the next 6 weeks or so. We are ordering car seats at the end of the month. We're hoping to fit 3 across in my car that way we can get away with not buying a 3rd row vehicle for at least another year. Besides the seats, there's not a lot to do, but it all seems daunting. We need little things like socks/bibs/diapers etc. We actually have no diapers as of right now. My DH is all "eh, if we need to we'll just stop and get some on the way home from the hospital". You'd think after hanging around a pregnant woman 3 different times now, he'd realize that we are way to anal for that! Haha. I think my problem is that I've convinced myself that D isn't going to go head down and they'll schedule a c-section. So then I'd know for sure when  he's coming and won't have to do anything until a week before. Procrastination at it's best! ;)


I think PUPPP  has come back with this pregnancy. I had it with Em and it was hell. The only time I'd get any relief from the itching was to get into a hot bath. But she was born in the winter, so that hot bath would make me itch everywhere else and it would just become this vicious cycle. I can feel the little red bumps underneath my belly button and oh man. I feel like a trucker just walking around scratching my belly. ;) Also, super gross, but I found a freaking tick on the top of my bikini line on Thursday evening. No idea how long it was there, but I can't think for very long since I take a bath and/or shower every night. Lyme disease is pretty minimal here, so I'm not too worried about it but I have been keeping an eye on the bite and making sure no bulls eye rash shows up. I would have freaked if I had developed my cold after I had found the tick, but luckily I was sick quite a few days before that. Whew.


What I'm looking forward to: Em's preschool graduation on Thursday! Oh, I'm going to need a bucket from all the crying I'm going to do.
