Maternity Mondays: Week 32

Yesterday M asked me if I need to keep track of how many ounces baby Blair eats a day and at what time. I said "yes" because I'm sure that I should be keeping a very detailed calendar of her schedule (poops, sleeps, shots etc.). And while this was a good reminder of what's to come it definitely freaked me out a bit... I have NO idea what I'm doing! Agh! Since it will make me feel better I'm going to list the things I must do before this baby comes...

1. re-read Baby Wise

2. Watch the dvd called "The Happiest Baby on the Block"

3. get my act together and write out a birth plan. (is there a template for this?)

4. finish packing my hospital bag (B's is done. mine consists of lollipops and a designer hospital gown a friend got me as a gift. I probably need more than this for my stay...)

5. get my maternity leave all squared away ( i am dreading this. M can't help and it is SO confusing!)

Well I don't know if making that list made me feel better or worse. Number 5 totally stresses me out. But below is my growing bump with a sweet baby girl inside and this makes me happy. :)

saved the balloons from shower # 1 :)

When I first saw this photo I said "Dang my hair looks good!" M noticed the drain in the shower hasn't needed to be cleaned out lately so I guess I'm not shedding as much as normal...nice! It will be a sad day when it all falls out after delivery. Boo. 

AWKWARD

- finding out I have gained 25 whopping pounds...WHAT?!?! Doctor says I need to stop eating cereal for breakfast and no more carbs for dinner. Waaaa! I was loving my cereal and pasta. Back to oatmeal and veggies. Dang it.

- a homeless guy at the grocery store thought he was funny when he pushed out his pelvis and imitated my walk. I did a very fake laugh and then immediately checked myself out in the freezer section to see if he was justified...not even! how rude! 

-Blair finding my ribs and me yelping at odd times throughout the day. surely my students think I'm losing it...

- I refuse to admit I have an outtie. the thing is that my belly button still isn't out. the best way to describe it is a "volcano." it's peaking around the edges but still has a deep hole! M says I'm trying to justify...

AWESOME

- having two amazing baby showers this weekend! I received some great things and can't wait to share them with you this week! 

-feeling so much movement inside! Blair is really a wiggle worm lately and I have loved feeling her "roundness."

- having two more weeks left in escrow...keep praying! it looks like this one may "stick!"

-our garage being filled to the brim with baby stuff. it's awesome because it means we received tons of great things from family and friends...so blessed!
- having over 100 followers...yippee! now how am I going to celebrate that...

a guest at my baby shower addressed my card like this. i loved it! :)
