As of today I am 33 weeks 5 days pregnant. Baby girl moves like crazy and is growing like a weed. I now know what it means to be "third trimester" pregnant. It's awkward, uncomfortable, and not a whole lot of fun. If the baby didn't move so much it would be very hard to deal with. I am SO grateful to have made it this far and to know that at this point we WILL have our precious little girl soon, but it's hot in Texas, and it hurts to be on my feet, and I feel like I'm about to explode. Just about 6 weeks to go!!!!
Kolt's parents are coming to visit when the baby is born as is my mother. I'm very excited to have them here, I just hope baby girl cooperates and comes on time or maybe even a bit early. But as long as she's here safe and sound I truly don't care.
My next appointment is at 36 weeks and then I go every week from there on out. Baby has been measuring right on or a smidge ahead which is good. Heart rate is always good and my vitals have been ok.
Things are coming along in her room and when they're done I'll get some pictures up. We have the walls painted and some decor up, but I still want to find some fabric and make her curtains and bed skirt. We finally had her shower and it was a blast. Not a whole lot of people could make it, but the people I wanted to be there were there and that's all that matters. Kolt and I plan on wrapping up her shopping soon so we can just enjoy the last few weeks before she gets here!
Kolt has finally made the switch to the Army hospital and is really enjoying it so far. His schedule has been great so far, and the army nurses and commanders have all been very polite and good to get along with. There is a shuttle that can get him there much faster than he can drive himself and so I've been taking him to the shuttle and picking him up in the afternoon. It's been working out nicely. It also looks like they only have to work 1.5 weekends a month and 2 months of grave yard shifts a year. AND they get to self schedule :) Couldn't really ask for anymore than that.
Over all things are going well down here. Even the weather has been somewhat forgiving. We're a week into July and it hasn't hit 100 yet. In fact it's been in the 80s mostly the last 2 weeks courtesy of Hurricane Alex and some other tropical storms. I'll take the rain if it means a break from the heat!
Thank you to all who participated in my shower or have given gifts to the baby. Everything is greatly appreciated. I can't wait until she's here and we can actually post pics of her!!
