Well here I am, 34 weeks pregnant! Seems like the last month went by pretty fast.
We are almost done with the nursery – the last two weeks of painting were pretty hard to get done because of the flu – but there is light at the end of the tunnel! And the pink color we picked is perfect, and so bright. My kids rooms always seem to be the funnest ones in the house! We used/are using Olympic One – and not having to prime has been a life saver. I was so surprised at how well it works, and can’t wait to use the same paint on the rest of the house! The white is especially bright (we repainted her ceiling and closet in white) and putting it on the ceiling really brightened up the room! So clean!
I also spent the last month ordering and buying 0-3 month clothes. She is now set for longsleeve and short sleeve onsies, sleepers, hats, mittens, pants and socks for the first three months of her life. That made me feel better to get that done – well for now. I know that I will be buying cute outfits and probably end up with a surplus around Christmas time!
I also went through what we still had from when L was a baby, I am so glad I kept all his stuff. Crib sheets, blankets etc. Oh and all the little soft baby toys I washed and put away! I was a little tearful going through all of his baby stuff – remembering when he was a little peanut. Excited to have another peanut in the house – and how fast it goes by…
She’s been pretty active in the tummy this past month too – and finally spun herself around to be head down. I can tell because she found the way out – LOL. So. Much. Pressure. down there! Woo. Sometimes, I feel little feet on my rib cage pushing her down even further. I remember L doing this too…but during LABOR.
I also had a little scare with contractions last week. I was having them every time I stood up – to the point where I was stuck on the couch and in bed on Friday. I called up my mom (who is a retired OB nurse) and we figured out that I have a bladder infection. I’m so bad at recognizing those symptoms because I don’t feel them as strongly as other women do. Usually my only inkling is that my pee is toooo yellow. So I had the doctor on call call me in some antibiotics, and am drinking cranberry juice religiously. Contractions have backed off.
I am getting increasingly tired – and looking forward to that last burst of energy you are supposed to get before labor begins. She is soooo heavy – I am not worried that she will be underweight like I was with L.
Oh and my bad bad bad pregnancy craving? Cake. A specific cake from VG’s ( a local grocery store that makes the BEST cake with buttercream frosting ) I am about to polish one off that I made my husband go get me in the middle of the night last week… mmmm.
