Holy...Huge - 31 Weeks

Hey there...just me and my HUGE baby here. Can you believe how big this belly is? I still have 9 weeks to go?!? Yeah right, we'll see if that happens. Seriously...big baby belly. Anyway, I think I had my first braxton hicks contraction yesterday. Kinda felt like my stomach was tightening up really tight, it lasted for about 3 minutes...so I laid down, drank a glass of water and it went away. It didn't come back, so I forgot about it. Let's hope those don't come back soon...it didn't hurt, just really uncomfortable. JC kept asking me, "Are you okay? Are you having contractions?" And I said, "Hmm...good question, cause I wouldn't have a clue what they feel like." Ha! We are going to our first birthing class this coming Saturday morning, so hopefully, they help us out with what exactly will happen there. I can't believe it's coming so fast...before you know it, she will be here.

I washed all of Baby T's clothes yesterday (yes, she's still Baby T cause we haven't settled on a name yet). I hung them in the closet, organized them according to genre and then of course, size...so yup. I guess I'm OCD "nesting". I just feel better if everything in there is perfect. I ordered the crib today too! I swear, overstock.com is THE place to shop. We bought a new bed frame from there (and we love it) and shipping is only $2.95 total...for anything you buy! What a deal. Anyway, crib came from overstock too.

Nursery colors are light pink and chocolate brown. I know, I know...pink, how original. But really, I love the colors together and it'll be ultra-hip...don't worry. No Disney bedding here.
As soon as the nursery is done, which...I'm hoping happens in the next 2 weeks, I'll put up pictures.

So, at 31 weeks pregnant, bending over is really hard, tying my shoes or painting my nails is impossible, seeing the number on the scale makes me really anxious, driving is getting hard too...mostly because I can't get close enough to the steering wheel. *Sigh*...I can see why women get weary of this. I think I've had it with the pregnancy and I'm just ready for the baby. Bring on the baby!! (But not for at least another 7 weeks). I can deal with her being born at 38 weeks, heck...I'd be okay if she were 37 weeks. Just no more than 3 weeks early. Geez...with my luck, she'll be a week late or something.

Anyway, I'll leave you with a picture of our Goose. We were contemplating giving him away to another family before the baby is born, but we decided to hang on to him. It was just too sad to think about letting him go. So, let's hope he likes his new sister!!! Isn't he cute?
