32 weeks

Another week down and nothing exciting to share. No news is good news! I don't have my next appointment until Thursday and I'll be pretty proud of myself for going 2 whole weeks. No more ultrasounds though, so all he'll do is measure the belly, weigh me, and check the heartbeat. So far I'm up 20 pounds, which I think is still pretty good, so hopefully I don't blow up like a balloon in the home stretch. This guy is still super active, which makes me a happy mamma. :) My cerclage is coming out in 4 weeks and I can't wait! It's crazy to think he could be here in just a month from now. Maybe it's really going to happen! I also can't wait to go for some walks and get a little exercise...among other things that I won't mention. ;)

I'm also so excited because my best friend's sister-in-law has two young boys and is done having kids and has decided to give all of her stuff to me! I am SO grateful and can't wait...it will be like Christmas only way better. Some family has also offered me some stuff, which I will gladly take! I feel so much better knowing that I don't have to have a shower but I also don't have to go broke. I love people's generosity.

  3. I see how the Lord is already using your experiences to bring hope to others like Janet.
    Enjoy these last few weeks while he's still inside. I remember when my baby boy hiccuped the first time and I thought "oh, yeah, that's what that was while you were inside!" Learn how to use the breast pump before he gets here.
    If you don't have one, find a lactation consultant in your area and get one. They really are very helpful. My daughter still uses hers and Micah is 10 months old. (Babies at 9 months go on nursing strikes because life is so interesting they don't want to nurse.) That's where pumping comes in handy. What a journey you've been on. You have gained so much courage and strength. Sending love, Debbie Jones
