32 weeks/8 months...Ooooh Baby!

Saw Dr G today for my 32 week check up.  We are now at 2 week appointments instead of once a month.

I am up 2lbs for a total weight gain of 13lbs. I also measured right on target for 32 weeks.

Sleep, what is that again? I haven't been sleeping well.  I can't get comfortable, I am in the bathroom what seems like every hour. I am tired.  Because I am tired, I am cranky and irritable. Anyone who takes offense to my crankiness, I urge to develop a thicker skin for the next 7 1/2 weeks because it has nothing to do with you, I am just tired. 

A few days ago, I had some swelling in the ankles and I thought they were a goner until baby arrives, but I am lucky, they came back.  I have ankles again.  :)

Everyday I get more and more contractions, some stronger than others, but nothing consistent.  Just baby getting ready. 

With that being said, heartburn has pretty much been put on the back burner.  Thankfully! 

This month, we will be celebrating our baby shower, that my mom and my dear friend Eva have been working so hard on. I am so super excited to see all my family from near and far and spend the weekend with everyone. 

Carson is also signed up for a sibling class at the hospital. The class is designed to help big brother cope with new addition in the house and what he can do to help.  At the hospital, they will also take Carson on a tour and show him the nursery and where mom will be. With that being said, we plan on having Carson at the hospital, as much as he wants.  He's older and it is not like having a toddler running around a hospital room.  He is very self sufficient and I know will want to be included, as much as possible.  I told him if he doesn't have school the next day, he can bring his pillow and sleep with Daddy at the hospital and we'll have a big sleepover.  He was very excited for that. So we will see.  

My C-section is scheduled and we are counting down the days, ready to meet this little princess. The nursery is ready, the only thing I haven't finished is decor for the walls.  That will come with time and as I see something when I am out, I will pick it up. 

We planned to have everything done for the baby this month because Carson starts kindergarten this month and he will be our main focus, getting him ready and excited for his first day in the new big school.
