32+ Week Update

Well time is definitely on the move now! I'll be 33 weeks this Sunday and I can scarcely believe how I've gotten this far so fast (and yet so agonizingly slow sometimes). I was hit Wednesday morning with the stomach bug that I worked so hard to avoid and am still not feeling myself and it's Friday night. The stomach flu is bad enough. Add being pregnant on top of it just seems to make it 10X's worse I think. I'm sore in places I didn't know I had! And I'll spare you the details but suffice it to say an eight month pregnant woman throwing up is NOT a pretty (or clean) picture. As far as this pregnancy goes, I'm feeling more miserable by the day so it's a great thing that I'll be meeting this princess soon~hopefully next month as crazy as that sounds!!! I've already begun my little cleaning/organizing spree I usually go on a few weeks before delivery so, right on schedule I'd say. Baby is so low that I can actually feel her head moving around waaaay down in places I can't even see and her arms pushing my pelvis apart. I am hoping this is a good thing in regards to labor, because perhaps she'll have an easier time engaging and moving down if she's already mostly there!! A plus to having a super duper low baby?? A bit more breathing room for a bit longer. My ribs haven't felt the jabs yet but I know it's coming. I feel her little feet up there, but she's so low that she's not really taken my breath away like the boys did (who were a bit on the higher side). I've had minimal swelling in my hands and face but my legs have taken the brunt of this pregnancy I must say. I'm so thankful it's winter!! Let's see...what else?? Just pretty much all around miserable is a good summary I suppose. Sort of like the first trimester only bigger, bulkier, heavier and...sleepier! Speaking of which I don't get much of these days with the belly on the rise. And sadly, I'm sure I could go on and on complaining but I'll spare the public all of that. I am so thankful that I am almost done. And so sad that I'm almost done, only because I know this will be the last time (apart from some sort of miracle or word from the Lord) that I will ever see little feet poke out of my belly. Pregnancy is a true miracle and I am so thankful to have experienced it. I've done my time (almost) and it's high time I've had my reward I say-this baby girl I've prayed for all along to add to my precious family. Still in turmoil about how she will be born, but I know ultimately God is in control of that and what will be will be. As long as she is here, happy and healthy, than that is what's important.
