32 weeks! (a day late)

Getting so close! Last week went by in a flash! Just like this week is already…obviously because I am a date late posting! Last week was a short one for me, I took Friday off and Frank and I went up to spend two nights at a lodge in the mountains. It has been so smoky here because of the Yosemite fire that it was really nice to get some fresh air! The whole trip was very relaxing and we even got to visit our adopted grandparents that live about an hour away from the lodge. It ended up being a great and probably last “before baby” outing.

It is so weird to think that we will have a child. We will not be alone any longer in our house. For many many years haha. Its such a huge step in my life personally because I never thought I would have kids. I just thought I was too independent for kids. I think Frank helped to change my perspective.  I have seen what an amazing dad he has been to his son (who is now 21) and how positively he has affected his life. I realized that I wanted to have that impact on a child also. That I wanted to share all of the things that I loved growing up and the traditions that my family has passed to me. If I never had a child, how would I do any of that. That is when it clicked. There is no way that I will realize how much my life is going to change until it actually happens. I am just going to be as lazy as I can until then because it will be full speed ahead once this little guy is here and I will give it all I got!

I have a regular 2 week check up tomorrow and then at 34 weeks we get to have an ultrasound, I am so excited to see the little guy one more time before we get to meet him for real! Will be so cool to see a mostly full grown baby inside of me.

I still cannot complain about the pregnancy. Things have changed for sure in the past week or so but not to the point that I would whine about it. I have noticed a little swelling and discomfort starting in my feet if I am on them for too long. I am very out of breath trying to walk and my back has actually started to bother me again which is weird because I was just saying how I used to have pretty bad back pain but during the pregnancy I have not had any really at all until now. It is to be expected at this point with the baby gaining weight like crazy! Other than that, I feel good. I might have started the whole nesting phase because I am constantly worried about having things ready in case the baby comes early. We have the room pretty well set except for wall decorations.  We have almost everything that was on my list to purchase except wash cloths, towels and a baby bath. Hoping to check those off this weekend.

Ok back to work…here is the ever growing belly!
