32 weeks 3 days

So: went to doctor and everything still looks nomal. Logan's already in the birthing position:) So that's something I'm not constantly worrying about anymore. The 11th is my last day of work and starting yesterday, I've begun what is known as Braxton Hicks. LOVELY little contractions that "prepare" you for the real thing. He's moving around a lot lately, and books have said that he'd slow down in this trimester due to there not being enough room- well, a man obviously wrote that book because that was a flat out lie. He moves now more than ever. Dr said at least 10 movements in 2 hours is fine, she said it's the equivalent of a soccer game. Yeah- my baby likes to play double headers each with overtime:) Oh well, I'm sure I'll miss the little nudges(punches and kicks)he's been giving me once he escapes! Right now we are trying to find a pediatrician- well we found one, but I've never in my life filled out anything for anybody other than myself. I know all my information,but jeez, you want mine, Jerry's and Logan's and Logan isn't even born yet. Can' exactly tell you a lot about him! Anyways, the tree is up, but not decorated- found out we have no decorations! So a trip to dollar tree this week(they have amazing looking decorations for a dollar!) and then as soon as my border for Logan's room comes in(said would be here today- ok we will see!) The nursery is definitely getting started, because as Gramma Karen wants him over cooked, I don't really see him waiting until his due date to make an appearance. However, I am not jinxing myself because I would like him to stay in there as long as possible so he's the healthiest and happiest baby he can be! I'm just getting really anxious to finally hold this child that has probably cracked at least one of my ribs and definitely ruined my bladder function. I've started dreaming about him, I guess all moms do that. In every dream, he has Jerry's brown eyes, but idk-maybe he'll keep my blue eyes....Like I said, I'm just getting anxious and excited, and I still have 3 more big exciting things to go through- I leave my job next sunday, My baby shower is the 18th, and Christmas is the 25th- and inbetween all that, I have a dr appt the 19 and the 29th! However, I cannot wait:) I'm usually not a "crowd" person, but I haven't seen a lot of my family since June. I wasn't even showing yet. I've seen Kate once- not gramma or sara or anybody else for that matter- mainly because I could never get off work on time if they were up here, or get the time off to go down with mom and dad. Now I'm on the "can't go anywhere more than hour and a half away" deal, so I'm homebound until after I have Logan, which is fine- I do hate being in a car for more than 30 minutes at a time anyway. That trip to Ocala with Rachel almost killed me. Oh well, there's dishes and laundry to be done- so I guess I will get off of here....

31 weeks:) 9 to go!!!!!

I'm 31 weeks today:) though last time we went to the doctor, he was measuring 32 weeks at 29 weeks...so maybe when we go back the 28th, she'll bump up his due date:) it'd be around Jan 7th if she does! The nursery has been started, I just bought the wallpaper border for his room- all monkeys! Mom is helping me with the room. And, I am happy to announce in a few short weeks i will be quitting my job:)
