8 months (32 weeks)

On Friday I had my 8 month appointment with Dr. Mora. From this point I will start going to BOGA every two weeks. I also signed Wade and I up for our "birthing" class in Jan. During the appointment everything looked good. Baby K had a great heartbeat, I am maintaining a good weight, and tests are coming back good. When talking to Dr. Mora he was asking about my work plans and Wade. I told him that I am planning on working until the 6th, even though I am due the 8th. He said that should be no problem because I am measuring a week behind and will most likely be a week or more late. UGG! Looking at it from this point Baby K may be a Valentine's baby. I am not sure if this is a pro or a con. It also looks like an upcoming trip to Russia for Wade will also not be an issue. I was hoping Baby K would come on the 8th or that week. But, I guess preparing to be late will help me if it does come.

For last couple of weeks of being pregnant it has really started to feel real. Baby K seems to be running out of room and every movement is felt. Every once in a while I will get a sharp jab of an elbow/knee or feel the constant bump, bump of hick-ups. I am also starting to not "feel" great and sleep is getting harder. I had a pretty easy 1st trimester with hardly any sickness. My 2nd trimester was great with a new found energy that sometimes I forgot I was pregnant. So, this 3rd trimester seems to be the hardest. However, it will all be worth it in the end. Let's just say I am looking forward to 2 weeks off of work for the holidays!


32 weeks. Wade took this picture to send to our friend C-train. He wanted to show him how the mutating is going. I am wearing a shirt from the Jingle Bell Dash we did on Saturday. I ordered a medium for future use. As you can tell it is a little snug right now. I am in a clothes rut and feel I am running out of options. I have started to look at Wade's clothes with new eyes!
