Today I am technically 32.5 weeks pregnant! Almost there...woo hoo! The question I keep getting (even from the doctor) is "How are you feeling"? Honestly, since this is my first pregnancy I have nothing to compare it to. But, my pregnancy has been very uneventful....thank God for that! I am to the point where I try to keep going and realize that I may be pushing myself. I'll wake up in the morning feeling ok and within an hour I feel as if I haven't slept at all....crazy. If that's the worst thing in my pregnancy then I have a lot to be thankful for....which I definitely am.
The doctor said I am measuring right on time and everything is going well! When I asked her if she thinks the baby is going to be huge (i.e. - around 10 lbs.) she said probably not......that caused me some relief as the last ultrasound said the baby was 2-3 weeks bigger than my due date.
This little stinker is moving a lot, which entertains Jason and I often. We keep referring to the baby as "he", which means that if we end up having a girl we'll most likely have to pay for therapy for her at some point. Although, who am I kidding...no matter what we do the child will blame us for something :-). Jason is already plotting ways to embarass our child....inlcuding (but not limited to) singing and dancing (which is quite a sight) in public, making obnoxious appearances at school, and telling embarassing stories to his/her friends. Being the therapist in the family I try to remind him how bad our child could be scarred but it seems to just add fuel to the fire.
I have definitely been nesting and Jason is wonderful at reminding me to slow down...not something to which I am accustomed. On New Year's Day we got a ton accomplished but at 9 at night when I was ironing the baby's curtains I told Jason my plans to hang the curtain rod before bed. At that point he left it up to me but strongly suggested that I relax for the rest of the night. I was thankful the next day for this, but that night I was really wanting to get more done. We are just about down in the baby's room. We have the closet doors to hang and the curtains. Hopefully we'll get those two things done this weekend and will post pictures and maybe a video next week. We'll see!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's! Let us know how you are doing...we'd love to hear from you.

Telling Jason he might scar his child just encourages him??? I'm shocked!
What scares me is that knowing Jason he'll probably carry out more of those plans than the rest of us would like to witness.
Yeah, it is shocking :-)! I don't doubt that his plans will be followed through on...our poor children!
You two remind me so much of Sue and me in our early years. I would add the observation that sure, Jason may be "shocking", but he can do it because he knows at his core, he is calm, steady and sure. He will be driven to challenge his new child to express his/her individuality and independence. Heather, on the other hand, will be driven to make sure the child fits in, understands community, and is inter-dependent.
Heh... this is going to be fun to watch.
Can Ryan and I join in on embarrassing the baby?? were good at that =)
My good friend is due a week later than you, but might end up having a c-section the week you are due. It's interesting reading what you are going through because its that same for her. It's cool you guys don't want to know the sex of the baby, it seems there are very few surprises left in life anymore!
