Today marks 32 weeks of you growing inside me and only 8 more weeks until your due date. Daddy and I are getting more and more excited to meet you! This week was Thanksgiving; how did you like the 4 days of delicious Thanksgiving food?? It'll be even more fun next year when you can eat some of it yourself. This weekend Daddy and I got your room all set up! We bought the last items needed for you, set up your crib, washed all your clothes and organized everything. It was so fun to be able to work together with Daddy to get ready for you. We even got your diaper bags and my hospital bag packed and ready to go. Daddy decided he wanted his OWN diaper bag for you....so I guess we will be ready no matter what then! We even stocked up on diapers and a ton of wipes from Babies R Us' Black Friday sale this year. We are pretty sure that Black Friday is a no-go from now on except for maybe stocking up on diapers and wipes again. It was such a good deal!
You have been growing and moving around like crazy still; kicking so hard! I am getting tired of having to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes so I am hoping you come early :) Also, your wonderful Aunt Steffie bought Grandma Kathy a plane ticket to come see you in January! We are all so excited and grateful. I'm sure you will learn too, there is nothing like having your mommy with you in such a life-changing event :) The other day you and I scared Aunt Brittany. And of course Daddy and I thought it was hilarious. I have been getting contractions lately, some stronger than others, but nothing terrible. But one strong contraction came and stopped me mid-sentence. When Aunt Brittany thought it was you kicking me really hard, I said it was actually a contraction and I'm pretty sure her heart skipped a beat or two thinking we had to get to the hospital ASAP :)
We did have your 32 week check up today and the doctor said you have a really strong heartbeat and are measuring perfectly. Always good news of course! I've seen those pictures on the Internet of seeing the baby's hand or foot imprinted through the mom's stomach and I've been wondering if that is going to be you. You are still moving so strongly so I am always checking to see if I can see you through my stomach :)
And as always, here is the 8 month photo! My shirt is getting a bit small, so hopefully I won't stretch it out too much more since I used to wear this shirt all the time pre-pregnancy.....We only have two more photos left before we get to actually photograph your cute little self :)
