32 weeks

32 weeks already! Yes, we skipped a week. There’s really no excuse as to why either, it’s just by the time I’d get to thinking about taking a belly pic and writing in the blog it’d be 10 p.m. and I’d be DONE FOR THE DAY!

At 32 weeks, I am feeling good! I mean, the regular uncomfortable third trimester symptoms are all there, and having a toddler running around this time makes things a bit more tiresome but, other than that, I can’t complain. God has blessed us with two completely healthy as can be pregnancies that have truly been the most exciting times of my entire life so I am trying to relish these last few weeks of this precious time.

I’ve been going a mile a minute trying to get all the baby prep done and stuff bought so I can try and relax as much as possible the last month or so. October is a VERY busy month with so much going on. I’m trying to get all the major stuff out of the way now.

The nursery is going to be so stinking cute! I am very pleased with what we’ve done so far.

We went to our midwife today and baby is measuring right on time and couldn’t be healthier.

We’ve decided to labor mostly at home and then deliver at our birth center. I feel so privileged to have the opportunity to labor this way. Our birth center will have everything we need to birth the way we want to and in such a peaceful and relaxing environment. I highly recommend Fruitful Vine!
