New milestone...

I know it's been a while since I've written- for some reason I just can't get it together to sit down and write. I know I'll regret it in the years to come. I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow so I'll try to post at least weekly until you get here.

Well today marks a milestone with this pregnancy: I lost my mucous plug. We were about to go to church and I headed to the bathroom for one last potty and out it came. My heart stopped but I remember losing it with Ava and it wasn't a big deal. I think I lost it around 34 weeks with her.

I've been "nesting" a lot lately. I cleaned out most of my closet yesterday, I had Daddy paint the play room and I reorganized it, and now I'm ready to organize my night stand (maybe I'll do that tonight). Probably driving your dad crazy- actually he's a clean freak so he's probably loving it. Your room is almost done. Daddy emailed the crown molding guy yesterday so hopefully it'll get done in the next few weeks. I have a mess in your room with new clothes that need to be washed and leftover nursery stuff for Ava. I just haven't been in the mood to figure out where the nursery leftovers need to go and I'm waiting on the next time I do Ava's laundry to throw your stuff in there with it. I feel like your arrival is still so far away but the reality is that it is probably going to happen sooner than I think.

We're going to see Dr. Irvin every two weeks now. We go this Friday. When we went last time, I had an ultrasound and the placenta previa went away (corrected itself). Thank goodness. They were also able to do some measurements of you and you measured 4 lbs, your head measured 3 weeks ahead of schedule, and the rest of you measured 1-2 weeks ahead of schedule. You are so active now and I love it! Sometimes it feels like you are having a party in my belly. Lately I've been craving ice cream- especially Klondike bars and Dibs. I'm totally walking with the pregnancy wobble- my groin is so tender. It feels like I've been sitting on a horse for days at a time. I've got secondary insomnia (meaning I fall asleep fine but can't stay asleep), I have restless legs, and getting comfortable when sleeping seems next to impossible. I still have yet to gain any weight- lucky for me! My belly is growing and everything else on me is shrinking- at our last appt I was down 10 1/2 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight. I'm already getting focused on keeping the weight off after your arrival. Now that the previa is gone, I can get back into the gym, which I am excited about. I get tired and weak just walking a small distance so I'll get back to doing some light cardio workouts this week. Daddy thinks that'll help me sleep at night too.

I'm going to heat up some dinner now- leftover shrimp diablos, leftover stuffed mushrooms, and a grilled cheese. Hope you enjoy it!

I will write more at the end of the week!!!

Love you, baby boy!
