Bumpdate: 32 Weeks

Hi again! What an insane two weeks this has been at our house. Gemma got croup, tried to be a mermaid in a swiftly moving creek and scared the crap out of me and then Brandon caught the flu. Needless to say we're all sick of the eventful vibe over here. At my last visit my doctor told me I'm anemic, which I hear is pretty normal for pregnant women. Still, it's not fun to be in the middle of an iron deficient exhaustion with a sick kid and husband. We're making it through though! Gemma's sickness is almost completely gone and I got Brandon to go to the doctor. (!) I'm now nagging him like clockwork twice a day to take the medicine and get better. So far it's working!

I am starting my two week visits today and I'm really beginning to feel all of those end of pregnancy emotions. Especially with Gemma. I swear every time I look at her I think how am I going to give her enough. How am I going to give her what she's always had? I know the answer is that I can't and that is getting hard for me to wrap my head (and my heart) around. She's so excited about the baby and always asking a million questions like will she drink water or only milk? will any of her tiny shoes really fit? She's completely taken with the idea of the wipe warmer and can't wait to use it. I'm hoping all of these thoughts and questions will have a very literal translation once the baby is actually here. 

I'm enjoying all of the baby prep still! Little girls are way too much fun. You'd think I'd have gotten over it but I absolutely have not. I found this pom blanket on Etsy! Such a steal of a deal and it's so beautiful and soft.

Here's a little update! Not much new info!

Symptoms: I haven't been using my belly band as often as I should and I'm completely paying for it this week. Pointless and dumb. I know! Trying to do better! I'm not losing so much sleep because of discomfort anymore, now I just can't seem to fall asleep. There are so many things to think about. That in itself is exhausting, you'd think it would help but it doesn't. Still not much of an appetite and still no heartburn! Hallelujah!

Movement: She's still a wild child. It's beginning to freak me out a bit! I'm hoping she's just getting all of her excitement out now so that she'll sleep like a little angel when she gets here! (yeah, right!)

Baby is the size of a: Jicama! (What's that!?) 3 3/4 lbs & 16.7 inches long!

Something I Miss: Uh... feeling normal. The end of pregnancy is just like a weird parallel existence. Your body is weird, your emotions are weird. Things are just freaking weird. I'm so over that particular part of this!

News From The Doctor: Everything looks great! She's suspects that I will go into labor a few weeks before my scheduled c section, that was also the case with Gemma so we're not too worried. Heart rate was 154 and she had the hiccups! Again. Her nickname will be hiccup.

XOXO
