Week 32 - Part I
Dave and I went to Michigan for our first baby shower late Thursday night. We got home Saturday night. I was very surprised that the 3 ½ hour drive wasn’t terrible uncomfortable for me physically. The shower was a lot of fun and I was very happy to see some of my friends and family. We received a lot of really nice things. Our favorite is the video monitor we got from my God-Mother Susie. We tested it out and it works beautifully!
I was a little bummed that not everyone could make it to the shower, but that’s the way life goes. We took a lot of pictures and my dumbass pressed the wrong button on my camera, deleting almost everything. Thank God I wasn’t the only one taking snapshots of the weekend. I was also really happy to see my friend Aimee. She’s been struggling with weight issues her entire life and she’s lost 73 lbs in about 5 months! I’m so very proud of her. My friend Stacy was able to make it and I was glad to spend more time with her during this trip.
Dave and I are planning to have our baby shower here in Ohio in a couple of weeks. His and his niece’s birthdays fall around that time too. June is looking to be a busy month for us. We’re going to have a laid back, co-ed party with lots of kids running around the house. I can’t wait until this shower has passed so that I can get all my baby stuff organized and have his room set up. I would really like to spend the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy relaxing as much as I possibly can.
This Friday I have another OB appointment. Trenity’s last day of school is on Wednesday and since Dave is off work on Friday, we’re bringing the girls to the appointment so they can hear the baby’s heartbeat. I’m also getting all my paperwork. I can’t believe I’m going to the doctor’s office every other week now. It was just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant and now I’m at 32 weeks! I keep saying that because it’s true…9 months sure does fly by. I remember going online to keep track of my fetal development week by week and thinking that 32 weeks was so far off.
Things have been pretty good on the baby and symptoms front. I just said in the last entry that I wasn’t having any Braxton Hicks contractions, but I did get a couple in the past few days. I didn’t flip out because there was no blood. Just some squeezing going on down there, lol. I did experience a couple of lower abdominal cramps the other night, but they went away fast. I’m guessing that’s still my body stretching out. I will ask my midwife about this on Friday, just in case I need to be aware of premature labor.
Speaking of stretching out, my tummy is getting larger as each day passes. I wonder what I’ll look like at 40 weeks. I can still move around pretty well, although the clumsiness is starting to hit me. I’m finding myself almost tripping while hiking up the stairs at home. Bending over is a bitch sometimes as well as getting out of bed and off the couch. Sex is really uncomfortable and I can’t wait until my body goes back to normal. I am suffering emotionally because of this, lol. I need love damnit!
The most exciting thing about this month is that it’s my last rent payment to my old apartment complex. Having that burden off my shoulders starting next month will change my energy completely. This will save Dave and I a lot of money and now I won’t have anything from my past holding me back.
