Well, we have made it to 32 weeks already. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. I feel very conflicted emotionally right now, because on the one hand, I am so very ready to meet our little guy I can hardly wait! On the other hand, I think I am going to really miss being pregnant. It has been such an awesome experience, that I want to take it all in and savor every moment. I feel like all to soon this experience will be just a memory. I am feeling panicked for time, and wishing that we had taken even more pictures throughout this whole event.

The past couple hours (most of today really) our little bambino has been kicking, hiccuping, and rolling around in there. It is just incredible to feel him so much. He is so active that I can just sit and watch my stomach jump around.

Throughout all these emotions though, physically I am beginning to feel that I will be more than ready to have this pregnancy over. The last week or two I have felt like I am getting big really quickly, and the stretching and pulling of my body has been a bit uncomfortable. Sleeping is more difficult, and I can tell that I get worn out much more easily. My nightly treks to the restroom and more frequent, and the very name "restroom" seems like an oxymoron right now. Even still, I am thankful to have every day, and feel that every day I carry this little guy and can nourish him is a blessing that I am tremendously thankful for. I have a friend that was due about the same time as me, and she had her little girl 2 weeks ago today. I am sure she would have given most anything to still be pregnant right now and protecting the little life within her, instead of having her little one in the NICU.

Saturday is our first baby shower, and I have a feeling that just having a shower will make it all seem even more real to me that this is really happening for us.

Well, it has been a busy day today (Little Brad is staying with us all week) and I have to teach my fitness class at the Y tomorrow at 7:45, then straight off to the Dr.'s office, so I had better sign off here and get things organized. It pretty much goes without saying, but with having another little person here that has to be up, fed, clothed, in the car, and all their basic needs for the next few hours taken care of before 7:20 is a bit challenging for me since it is not in my normal routine. If there is a way to rush children, I have not learned the skill yet!

Have a great night!
