32 weeks!

Today I had a routine check up before we head to Hawaii for 10 days. I am measuring at 30 weeks and the little guy is breech! It's a good thing I will be having a c-section. Things seem to be going great and I can't complain about that!

His room is coming along very very slowly. We're still trying to transition the "spare/collect all" bedroom to a nursery and it's taking longer than we would have liked. It's amazing to me how much junk two people can collect over the years!

Once we get back from Hawaii I will be starting school and the crazy schedule starts up again. I will be going to class 2 days a week, clinical at the hospital 2 days a week, online classes AND two doctor's appointments of my own a week. My doctor wants to monitor me closely since I went into preterm labor with my last pregnancy, which means one office visit with him and an addition non-stress test every week! On the upside...I get to hear our little man's heart beat many many times and will be taken care of if something doesn't seem right.

So, with 7 weeks left I feel pretty great and I'm still pretty small! Hopefully that means less baby weight that I need to loose once he's born :)

Little Update

Not too much has happened in the last little while. I keep growing and Cooper is pretty relaxed and enjoys rolling around. He doesn't kick very often, which is pretty great because when he does it can be pretty painful. His room is slowly coming along. I am SO anxious to get it done but my time has been put into finishing Christmas presents and sewing blankets for upcoming babies and for Cooper.

31 weeks!

Newest project as of today! Cute stuffed animals...this is a giraffe and an elephant is soon to come!

10 Reasons I know I'm pregnant

I would like to share my top 10 things that I have noticed over the past 30 weeks:

10. I now have a reason to sleep whenever I want for however long I want!

9. Brady looks at me funny when I crave carbonated drinks

8. I wake up every morning around 3:30 to empty my bladder (and I'm not joking about the time either. It's always within 10 minutes of 3:30)

7. No one can stop me from eating!

6. There's an extra pillow on our bed that is used to help support my hips

5. There are water bottles everywhere around our house and I forget where I put them (SEE NUMBER 4)

4. I seem to forget EVERYTHING and find myself asking Brady all the time where things are

3. Kidney stones are one of the worst things I have ever had to endure

2. I get to stuff my bra with something called "nursing pads!"

and...

1. People comment on my "cute" belly. Any other time it would just be a "fat" belly and how dare someone say anything about that!

About 2 months to go!

Well, things have been going pretty great with Cooper. He's very active and loves to play with my bladder! He keeps growing and it's so fun to feel him and watch him move around in my belly. Brady is able to feel him whenever, which makes it more exciting for him. I am 29 weeks pregnant and about 8-9 weeks to go (depends on the c-section date)! We have a doctor's appointment this Friday to set the date! I am so anxious to finally meet this little boy of ours!

His room is slowly being put together. Right now Brady is painting, the crib is put together, we have a rocker, the changing table is still in the box and all the clothes we have are in the closet hanging up. We bought some curtains to go up over the windows and that's about it! I will not be posting any pictures until it is done.
