Well, I have today off of work! Hooray!!! I am so excited! I have been getting pretty tired lately. I think the 3rd trimester is getting to me. I have also had a harder time sleeping lately. It's been difficult for me to get comfortable. A couple of girls on my facebook suggested pregnancy pillows that go all the way around your body. I'd like one, but at the same time, I feel like I'm so close to the end that I might as well just stick it out and use the $60 on something for the baby. We will see if I still feel that way in another week with very little sleep. :P
Today I am at 34 weeks and 4 days. That means I have 38 days until our little girl is due to arrive! I can't believe it's coming up so quick! She's getting so big and strong and, as always, is still very active. I'm surprised that she's still so active. I would have thought with her little home getting smaller and smaller as she gets bigger, that her movements would slow down, but that is not the case. She is a very active little girl and moves quite a bit throughout the day. I'm excited to meet her and to see what kind of a baby she ends up being. Is she going to be active when she gets here? Or will she be more chill and relaxed? Time will tell! :D
Not a whole lot of news on the cooking, cleaning, and nesting front. I need to get more work done on the house today since I have the day off and time to clean. And yet, I am highly unmotivated. :P I had 2 more recipes I was going to freeze, but we used more of the turkey than I expected. So the enchiladas are going to have to wait for a little bit, but I will get to them eventually. ;) The other recipe I have yet to make and freeze is my mini meatloafs. Those shouldn't take too much work, so I really should do them today.... We will see what the day brings. I finally got my laundry soap in for my cloth diapers. I want to finish off the bottle of soap that we are currently using (it's about gone), then switch over to the new soap for all of our laundry. So maybe I'll begin working on laundrering the cloth diapers today. Again, we'll see what the day brings.
We have another doctor's appointment today! Wooohooo! Can't wait! I love that we're getting to go every 2 weeks now! I enjoy getting updates on myself and my baby. We will only have 1 more 2-week appointment after today, then we will begin seeing the doctor every week as we get closer to her due date. Can't believe she's going to be here so soon!!! I just can't wait!! No alarming new symptoms to tell my doctor about today. Just general aches, pains, sleepiness, etc. Last time when we went and had our sonogram done her heartbeat was 123bpm. I was shocked, as she's been in the 140's since about 14 weeks. The sonographer said she was probably sleeping. I'm hoping her heartbeat is back up in the 140's again today. :)
Michael and I were talking yesterday about how crazy it was that she was going to be here so soon. 5 weeks and 3 days seems a little farther away. A little over a month seems farther away. But 38 days seems so close!! She's going to be here soon and our lives will change forever. :) When we're under a month left it will be very strange and fast approaching! I feel like a ticking time bomb. Just waiting to go off...
Michael seems to be getting more excited and ready with each passing day. He loves feeling her move since she's so active anymore. He likes to talk to her and kiss my belly. If he allows his face to linger too long at my belly she'll usually give him a little nudge back. ;) He also likes to play with her. He'll poke my belly a couple times and wait for her to roll or move or kick in response. When she does he'll poke again and wait. She'll kick and he'll poke again. Last night it went on for quite a while! He was getting absolutely giddy at the fact that she kept responding to him. He was laughing and smiling. It was such a sweet moment. :) There is no doubt in my mind that he will make an amazing dad. :) He loves this little girl so much already. It's precious. I know he's nervous about having her and having to care for her and holding her correctly and things like that, but I think he'll fit into the roll easier and faster than he thinks he will. I was telling him about how she can hear us talking and how she'll recognize his voice. I think it will be a HUGE confidence booster for him when she's crying and he starts to talk to her and she stops because she recognizes his voice. :) I think at that moment not only will he fall more in love with her, but he'll also feel so much more confident in himself and in his abilities to care for this tiny baby girl. It will be amazing! I can't wait to see him in his new dad roll. :) Just one more way for me to fall in love with him. ;)
I'm still very curious about her hair and eye color! Michael thinks she'll have dirty blonde hair with curls, maybe even ringlets. He's not sure about her eyes, but it leaning towards brown. I just hope she's blessed with her Daddy's long beautiful eyelashes. I think if she does end up with those big brown eyes like he has, that he will have to face the same puppydog eyes that he used to get away with giving me when we first started dating. :P Ahahhahaha! Payback! :P I have a feeling I'm going to have to be the disciplinarian when it comes to his baby girl. She's got him wrapped around her finger already. :P
Well, that's about all I've got for this morning. Good work for those of you who made it to the end, especially after the long segment about what an amazing dad Michael is going to be. ;) Have a wonderful Tuesday! More info and baby stats after our appointment this afternoon! :D
