33 Weeks and Random Ramblings

So I am 33 weeks pregnant and April is quickly approaching. Nothing too new on the pregnancy front although I am getting a little more uncomfortable. Who knew bending over to pick something up would become such an exhausting process? Have I mentioned that this baby is a pain in my side? Literally!! I know he/she is face down but he/she also loves to tuck his/her butt right underneath my ribs, which can be painful. So if you ever see me randomly pressing down on my belly I am just politely asking the baby to MOVE, BABY, GET OUT THE WAY (and yes I occasionally hum the Ludacris melody in my head while I do this :) ).

On a brighter note, I am still sleeping really good (knock on wood) and I am very thankful for that because anyone who knows me KNOWS that I love my sleep. And I am getting it while I can because I know that once baby is here I may be having many sleepless nights!

Other exciting news - THE NURSERY IS ALMOST DONE!

• Cool/Cute paint job - check
• Changer put together and in place - check
• Crib put together and in place - check
• Cool/Cute bedding in place - check

Now all we need is to get the bookshelf in its place, find a floor lamp, put the doors back on and find some cute accessories and we are DONE! It looks so cute (I will post pictures over the weekend)!

Birthing Class Update

• We had a birth!! And it wasn't even the lady pregnant with twins. The woman who sat next to us a couple weeks ago ended up with pre-eclampsia and had to deliver 5 weeks early - we hope this isn't contagious :)
• We watched are first birthing video - not as scary as I thought it would be. However the lady was a "groaner" and that made me a little uncomfortable. At one point, by her position (clue: "it's just the style; we don't have to go outside or anything."), I thought we were watching how a baby is conceived not how a baby is birthed. But hey - whatever works!
• A-Dizzle and Matt are now BFF (watch out JM and Mexi)! A-Dizzle even gave Matt a fist bump after class.
• Oh yeah - we learned important things like when to call the doctor about my labor/when to go to the hospital, what things Matt should/should not say to me while I am in labor and the pros and cons of getting drugs. My question - there are cons to getting drugs? :)

That's all for now - just a quick shout out to the Graham Family! They welcomed baby Gavin Friday February 20th. He weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces, was 19.5 inches long and completely adorable. Congrats to proud parents Jon-Michael and Amanda and Big Sister Mia!!
