Due December 17th, Now 33 Weeks

I'm almost there! People seem to think I'm ready to have this baby. I'm not! I have way too much to do between now and then. I have four classes to complete which includes several projects and a couple papers (one being 40ish pages). We also have not done anything else in the baby's room. I'm hoping Shaun gets the paint at least ready this weekend in not the room painted. Logan is "working" with him today and tomorrow so I hinted to him that maybe he and dad could come up with the blue color together. He loved that idea! He's obsessed with anything baby right now and often talks to the baby and rubs my tummy when he gives me hugs.

Signs that I'm getting further along:

Emails from Baby Center describing exactly how I feel each week and reminding me of how many weeks I have left (eek!).

Stretch marks that are slowly stretching further. This causes itchy skin at times!

Worsening heart burn when I forget to take my Prilosec- which I now take twice daily.

The inability to sleep for more than perhaps 30 minutes at a time.

The "need" to now visit both my chiropractor and massage therapist every other week. This seriously helps!

Very near constant lower abdominal pressure (not to worry I've talked to my doctor and this is very common, especially after a couple previous pregnancies). I'm carrying a bit low and GET TO wear a support belt which sometimes helps.

My feet are normally swollen by the end of the work day (nothing new though).

I'm constantly tired now and have caught myself dozing off at odd times. It's sooo hard not to!

I have a baby shower coming up in about two weeks! Wahoo! (Let me know if you want to be invited.)

Oh, and I have no memory of anything whatsoever...

I'm sure I'll think of other signs but these are probably the most prominent.
