Thirty Three Weeks
And it still feels like just yesterday I had the positive pregnancy test!
The cold and cloudy day really helps sink it in that it's about to be fall. The endless amounts of Halloween decorations and fall decorations at every store help too. It's a bit daunting really! Sometimes I feel so ready for this baby to come because I've been in a lot of pain lately. But at other times I'm not ready to give up the freedom that I've finally achieved. I just need to keep reminding myself that this time wont be like last time, I will have a lot more freedom! I already have a baby sitter every Saturday night for Jaycie and my grandma has offered to take the baby every Saturday night.
Can you say cha-ching?
I can't believe how much has changed during this pregnancy. The friends I used to see weekly back in the winter are no longer friends, the people I talked to weekly back in the winter I rarely talk to, and those that I talked to rarely I tend to see weekly now! Also, back in the winter I would hang out with people with toddlers, now all my friends have little babies or are pregnant. It's so weird how things change, especially when you feel like you've got no control over it. It makes me sad a little.
Websites say at this point in my pregnancy the baby weighs about 4.5 lbs and is about 19.5 inches long. Jaycie was 19.5 inches long when she was born! Even more proof to show me that the time is getting closer.... as if the pain in my hips, the feet in my ribs, and all the contractions weren't enough!
Yesterday I went to Babies R Us to pick up some final things for the nursery. Although, I totally forgot to get a hamper which I think is the final thing on my list! I'm very, very, very happy how my nursery has turned out! It's more than I could have ever dreamed of. Last night I was sitting in the rocking chair folding the last load of baby laundry and I almost got weepy because I really wish I had had something like this when Jaycie was a baby. And I'm very proud of myself for achieving it all for the new baby.
Anyway, while I was at Babies R Us I saw the cutest Halloween outfits for babies. There are so many choices I have no idea what to dress this little one up as. Although, even the smallest costumes were sized 0-3 months which I think might be too big for a newborn. I have a feeling this baby will swim in the costume! Maybe I will get around to making a costume before baby arrives but it'd be even better if I could find someone to make one for me because I don't think I'll have time. I'm pretty sure this baby is coming in the next month and I still have a lot to do around the house.
Speaking of which the drier just buzzed...
