We are 32 weeks today! I am so, so grateful to be 32 weeks.
Unfortunately, today I have spent the majority of the day fighting off contractions and trying not to freak out over the feelings of intense pressure I have. Last night, we went to a minor league baseball game and while planning the evening I kind of forgot how pregnant I am. We had a walk a pretty long way to the stadium and sitting in those stadium seats for so long really did me in. Hopefully, my body is just making me pay for it today and I can rest and have these go away. Needless to say, we are going to be taking it easy the next 3 weekends and trying to have end of summer fun for the boys in situations where I can sit in a chair. I want to make it to 35 weeks SO badly for the babies- let’s be honest I’d rather make it to 37 but trying not to get too greedy in this moment.
This week I got a lot of their clothes and things washed and worked on their room more. I was folding and putting clothes away when all these contractions started this morning so you better believe they are still sitting in baskets for now. Priorities indeed.
When I was pregnant with Eli, I craved sweets toward the end like I never have in my life. This time around I am craving WATERMELON. Any time, anywhere. I honestly can not get enough. I’m hoping that the stores will continue to carry it even though we are nearing the end of watermelon season around here until these babies are born. I mean there are definitely worse things to crave right?
This weekend, we Josh just finished painting, redecorating, and rearranging our bedroom to make room for the babies to spend at least the first couple months in with us. I’m hoping that they will be able to sleep in the pack and play newborn level together but we are prepared with two rock and play sleepers just in case. Some how, some way we will need to attempt to get a bit of sleep because we have two other children. I think ‘sleep when the babies sleep’ is certainly a thing of the past. There is something about a newly organized bedroom that puts me in such a good mood!
Hoping and praying to be back for a 33 week update. (Please excuse the bathroom belly selfie- why doesn’t anyone else look so awkward when they do them?)
