week 32

The past two weeks have been full of change. I can tell my body is preparing.. I had my 2nd Braxton Hicks at JC Penny. Both contractions were at times when I've been on my feet, walking a lot, and decision making-- furniture and curtain shopping! Also, I've been feeling sharp pains from my cervix dilating. And I can tell she's head down by the pressure I feel. She kicks (A LOT). The past two weeks she has been the most active of the entire pregnancy. I'll feel a foot on one side and an elbow on the other. A couple of times it's caught me by surprise and taken my breath away. I love when Austin feels them and makes responses like "oh my goodness and I felt that." I can tell that I'm getting bigger because even my maternity clothes are tight! Austins solution- "buy bigger ones." Guess so, just seems so not worth it with less than 2 months to go. My belly button shows through all of my shirts and no, I'm not self conscious about it. At first, I didn't like it mainly because I thought "my innie" would never poke out! But it does and it's OK. WE'RE REGISTERED! Babies-R-Us and Target. Registering was hard-- I asked a lot of questions like, "do we need this, which brand, and what is this for?" Our shower is this month! I'm excited, mainly to see family. I guess I've said enough for now, maybe I'll be able to sleep. The waking up at odd hours seems to be another change.. is she preparing me for the many sleepless nights to come?
