Almost 32 Week Pregnancy Update

I am almost 32 weeks along already - about 8 more weeks to go - only 2 months from yesterday!

John and I have renamed January "the month of preparation". I think what's made the pregnancy go so fast is the fact that, while we're excited about having the baby, we haven't been doing a lot of real prep work. The Christmas season also helped keep our focus else-where. It did just hit me, though, that I really only have 2 months now to get the nursery and house ready and learn how to take care of a baby!

What do we have planned for this month? We have birthing classes scheduled for January 16-17, hoping to paint the nursery on the 23rd (ended up finding the bedding at BabiesRUs on Monday so now we can get the paint color), need to register for the breastfeeding class on the 28th, and our baby shower is scheduled for the 30th. I'm still going strong now, but just thinking about all this is making me tired! We kind of forgot to create our registries until just last weekend so at least that part is done and out of the way!

Everything still seems to be going well with me. Emotions are running wild and my appetite is kicking in again and so are BIB's movements. So far I've gained about 27 pounds, although I don't know where it all went to. Maybe we'll have a big baby! I have to go in for more blood tests tomorrow just to make sure that nothing is changing. The doctors think that my antibody levels reading abnormal just because of extra sensitive equipment. I am still sleeping pretty well throughout the night...once I get to sleep, that is. BIB seems to get the hiccups every night which makes it harder to get to sleep than the kicking alone. John doesn't know how I am able to sleep with all the kicking. I'm probably just so tired that it doesn't matter!
