32 weeks (and counting)

I had my 32 week pregnancy check-up yesterday. Crazy! That means that I have 8 weeks till my due date, but only 7 till my c-section! How did the time go by so quickly?!? Everything seems to be right on track. My little girl has a great heartbeat and is measuring at 33 weeks. We are going to have another ultrasound at 36 weeks to 1. check to see if she is breached and 2. see how big her head is. I have the scheduled c-section on the 30th, but I have decided that if I go into spontaneous labor (my water breaks, or start contractions, etc) I will probably attempt to deliver "normally." That is depending on her head size. If it looks like she has a noggin like her brother than I might not even try. :) Who knows. Right now, I am not pulling for one way or the other, and I will hopefully be very flexible to my options when the day comes.

This whole pregnancy has been SO different than my pregnancy with Keegan. I had much worse morning sickness in the first 16 weeks with this pregnancy, even to the point that I needed to be put on anti-nausea drugs. Because I was so sick for so long I lost weight in the beginning and even to this date I am not even close to gaining the amount of weight that I did with Keegan. The first time I gained about 60 lbs total, and this time I have only gained 19 lbs so far. Not gaining so much weight has definitely made this pregnancy easier. I am so much more comfortable in my body and I can occasionally forget that I am pregnant (not very often though). My joints, muscles and most importantly my back don't hurt as bad as the first time. I really think that chasing around a 1 1/2 year old has really helped. My body is in different shape than I was last time, not necessarily better shape, I am just more used to lifting and carrying Keegan around. Also, before I was working full time and sitting around most of the day, and that killed my back. But these days there is very few times where I can sit down for more than 1/2 an hour (the length of a cartoon), and the movement really helps my back and joints stay loose.

I am getting to the point where I am about ready to be done. Although I am not ready to give up my one-on-one time with Keegan. I got teary eyed yesterday as we cuddled together after his nap, realizing that our days like these are numbered. I hope that I will still be able to take the time to spend one-on-one time with Keegan. I hope that once the baby sleeps I won't feel like I need to be doing something "more important" (housework?!?) and that I can focus on my #1 child. I also hope that Matt will forgive me if the house is cluttered or the dishes are not done everyday. Not that he is an overly demanding husband, or that he doesn't help out with the house (in fact, he probably does more housework than I do), I just have the guilt of not getting it done.

I guess I just needed to put my thoughts down. I don't always blog about me, or my thoughts, but there you go. That's whats going on in my little world and my big belly. If you made it this far, thanks for reading!
