32 Weeks – Just a few more to go
I have been getting worse and worse at blogging. You would think I would want to blog everyday! That I would be keeping a journal of my first pregnancy.
Nope!
I even got a baby book, but it is barely filled out. I don’t think I have picked it up in 3 months.
Pictures? I haven’t even taken a picture of my pregnant self. Here I am 8 months into this… The baby isn’t here yet, but I already feel like I bad parent.
………………………..
Some updates:
- I went to NYC a couple of weeks ago. I rode in an elevator with Katie Couric and saw Will Ferrell filming in front of the building I was in.
- I didn’t have the pregnant waddle until I tried to walk over to Rockefeller Center and Times Square. (“The Rock” was worth the walk, Times Square was not).
- I don’t know if my body will recover from all the stretch marks it has taken on.
- I can now see the baby moving inside my belly instead of just feeling the kicks. If growing a big belly wasn’t reality enough that there is something in there, then seeing my belly move like that DEFINITELY made this experience real.
- I feel gargantuan, but everyone else can’t believe I am 8 months along.
- I don’t even bother with anything but slip on shoes.
- How come everything falls on the floor when it is so difficult for me to pick it up?
- People forget to tell you that you are as tired your last trimester as you were in your first. Maybe a little bit more.
- Lack of sleep starts WAY before the baby arrives.
- I have only had about 3 baby dreams throughout this entire pregnancy. In my last one, the baby didn’t have eyeballs. She looked normal, but the Dr said there were no eyes under the lids.
- I have nightmares regularly.
- We finally have prepared a few things for the babies arrival: changing table, dresser, car seat, clothes.
It is hard to believe that in a few short weeks I am going to have a little baby girl! I am excited, but also a little freaked out. But I think that is probably normal, RIGHT?
