week 31

9 weeks (or less) until baby Hallie arrives! We are so excited. At the last doctors appointment, I'd gained 26 pounds. And definately feel it too. Its harder to sleep, get out of the bed, stand up, sit down, tie my shoes, EVERYTHING! I can tell that Hallie is growing and getting stronger too--her kicks are harder and can be breathtaking. Sometimes, I feel a knee or elbow rub across my belly.

I'm starting to get nervous about her arrival being so close. There seems to be soo much left to do to prepare. Her room is almost complete. We have to do a few more small things like put up the valances, wall art, etc. I still have to wash all of her clothes. We need carseats, diapers, wipes, bottles, etc. SO MUCH LEFT TO DO AND BUY! Speaking of money, we still have to pay off the hospital BEFORE she gets here. And take classes to learn how the whole labor process works. And pack our bags. And take maternity pictures. All in 2 months time.

I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN...
