32 Weeks along

Photo taken 1-5-10 day of doctor appointment

Yesterday marked me being 32 weeks pregnant. Can you believe it? Only 8 more weeks or less to go. Man, time has really flown this time around. It feels like just yesterday Brent and I found out that we were expecting our second bundle of joy. The baby's room is coming together. Slowly, but surely. Over Christmas break, we had a friend of ours who paints for a living come over and give us a much needed hand and he did an excellent job. If you are ever in need of a painter, I got the guy for you. Now, all that I have left to do is some little things such as make a valance (since one does not come with the bedding), put up shades (I have to get some that will fit due to a weird window size), and decorate the walls up a bit. Plenty of time, right?!

Tuesday, I ventured to the baby doctor for my appointment and everything went excellent. I am still measuring in small. I measured about being 29 weeks and am actually 32 weeks. Still, no big deal. Especially, since in the past 4 weeks I gained 6 1/2 pounds. 6 1/2! I blamed it on the holiday and my doctor got a kick out of that one. He told me he would except that answer, but not to keep gaining like that unless I want a huge baby on my hands. I have to say though that so far I have gained a lot less then what I did with Josie thank goodness. My doctors appointments will now be sooner. I am suppose to start going every 2 weeks, but we decided to wait and go in 3 weeks instead of 2 since everything is going good unless I come across a problem. Then, after my appointment in 3 weeks, I will go in 2 weeks and then every week. We are really getting down to the wire now. So, much left to do, so little time. At my next appointment, they will start measuring for dilation and thinning, plus run a few tests. No biggy.

Brent and I do not even have names picked out yet. What have we been up to? We still have the boys names that in case Josie was a boy we were going to use, however Brent wants to explore new options. As for girls names, we have none. We thought Josie was a boy so with her we really did not have girl names until we were on our way to the hospital. We always have 2 girls and 2 boys names picked out since you do not know which name fits until you see them in person. So, what about the other girl name we had, well it is no longer an option. So, back to the drawing board we go.
