Weeks 31 and 32

Weeks 31 and 32 (Currently I am 34 weeks)

Still feeling larger than I was at this point in my pregnancy with our daughter.  Contractions have been much stronger and more intense, lasting anywhere from 30-90 seconds each. Having more and more of them. Trying to stay off my feet as much as possible, we want this baby to bake a couple more weeks (at least).

It is so hard for me to grasp the fact that I am going to have another baby so soon. I cannot believe it. I am scared out of my wits and so excited - at the same time. Please tell me this is not unusual. I am worried about my relationship with my daughter most of all. I am having tons and tons of anxiety about leaving my daughter as well. My hope is I only will have a 24 hour hospital stay. The thought of leaving her longer than that about kills me. (Am I crazy?) So baby, if you are listening, please stay in the tummy until we hit 36 weeks.

We have set up the big girl bed and started moving and decorating her room. She loves the idea of it but has yet to actually sleep in her own bed yet. (I need to pick up a toddler safety rail). I did try to put her down for a nap in there and that was a no go. Needless to say we moved into my bed and she was out like a light. We'll keep trying. Any tricks or tips on moving out of mommy's bed to their own bed would be much appreciated.

We celebrated my birthday during my 32nd week. My husband, daughter and I went out to a yummy new restaraunt and took our girl to the bounce room at the local mall. She was in heaven. My husband thought she would be scared. HA! We had to bribe her out of there. Though I do feel like it is a germ trap, she had a blast. We sterilized, and sanitized anything that was in that place when we made it back to the car!
