Week 32 and 1 day

Everything is about the same. Hungry, gassy, heartburn, overwhelmed.

We did learn some stuff that has helped with the overwhelmed feeling. We had two classes this week. We had our regular Expectant Parent class, as well as a Breastfeeding class. Both, Brian and I, enjoyed the breastfeeding class. We learned a lot, plus it made me feel better about my decision to breastfeed. I had been worried about breastfeeding because of the stories that my mom told me. She had problems breastfeeding her first child and so I thought that I would have problems with my first. But the instructor reassured me that mothers today have more support and education about breastfeeding than our mothers and grandmothers. So, I am thinking nothing but positive thoughts and Brian is being very supportive about breastfeeding.

Well, to go along with my shirt in my photo, Baby Girl is definitely a kicker. The shirt says mom's tiny kicker. We also got a onesie that says the same thing and a bib with the Indianapolis Colt's logo. It was the baby shower gift that Brian got for me. I can't say it enough, but Brian is just so adorable and supportive. Right now as I type, he is putting together a list of stuff that we need to pack to take to the hospital when I go in labor. He is funny, because the first thing on the list is "Tina and baby." I think he is worried that he will be so nervous and excited that he will forget me at home!! Oh I just love me baby's daddy!

Oh, as if all the baby stuff was not overwelming, we also have to worry about Christmas and getting ready for that, as well as house stuff. We still don't have a house. Things are getting close!!

Baby Shower

Okay, so pregnancy is getting to me now. I am just getting tired too soon and can't do everything that I want to in a days time. But at least, I have wonderful friends and family who help make my life a little easier by throwing me a baby shower.

I'm actually a week behind with this particular blog, but as I said, there is just too much to do and not enough energy to do it!!

But anyways, I am so greatful for all the wonderful people in my life. Even though I live miles away, my family is still there to show my baby love. I wasn't sure how many people would show up for the shower since it was on Thanksgiving weekend, but we got a wonderful turn out. And it just wasn't family!! There were old friends of the family, who watched me grow from birth, were there to celebrate me having a baby!!! It's as crazy to me as it is to them that I am having a baby.

I still don't believe that I am pregnant...as strange as that may seem. The other morning, I woke up and forgot that I was pregnant. I looked down at my belly and was shocked that it was big!!! Part of it could have been that I was numb on one side of my body (from sleeping on it too long) and I was engulfed in a sea of pillows!! But still, I looked down and there was this round belly...which was changing shapes since the baby woke up too.

It is just so crazy to me that I have to get a nursery together, go to expecting parent classes, find a pediatrician and get gifts from a baby shower!! To me, all these things were for other people! Now, it's for me. Go figure why I am so up and down from feeling happy to feeling nervous! I was always an emotional person, but this is a whole new ball game!!!
