32 Weeks...and counting!

Well, I am officially 32 weeks pregnant! I went to the Midwife this morning and I am measuring 33 cm (hopefully that means a baby that will come a little bit earlier than later!) and things look good! The placenta previa from before is gone. Like I said...90% chance that it will move up and out of the way, which it did! Baby is head down and fluid levels are great! I feel pretty good (aside from hip/lower back discomfort that is oh so common for me during pregnancy!)

I can't believe how fast the time has flown this pregnancy...I only have 8 weeks left (if that) and that seems crazy to me!! We have been trying to get everything ready for the new baby. Kaylie is now downstairs with the boys in the "big kid room" and is settling in there. Some nights are a little difficult for the three of them (meaning mostly Kaylie) to settle down, but for the most part, they are all adjusting well. Once the baby is born and we know the gender, there will be some room adjusting in the future, but this works for now!

The kids are getting excited! They love to feel the baby kick and move when they sit on my lap or snuggle with me (since, let's be honest, I don't have much of a lap left)! Ben is feeling much better after his appendectomy three weeks ago, for which I am very grateful! He was even able to help me paint the nursery! :) And he loved every second of it! But it looks so cute! I will add pictures when I get the room put back together! The boys were such a big help with the painting and furniture rearranging! They are so sweet, I can't believe how lucky I am!

So, here's to the next eight weeks...may we get everything that we can ready for this blessed occasion! I can't wait to meet our new little one and hold him/her in my arms!
