...and so starts Week 32 of waiting for baby Milo to finally get here. We still need to paint his room so we can go buy the crib and stuff. I'm excited to decorate/put together his nursery!
Tomorrow is the first out of a few baby showers coming up in the next month, and I'm so excited I can't stand it! I love baby showers, period, but when it's finally your own it's just that much more special and fun.
In all of the things I've read throughout this pregnancy, they weren't lying when they said the 1st and 3rd trimesters are the hardest. The 1st sucked so badly because I was so sick. The 2nd was awesome, really no issues at all except for starting to have to go pee all the time. The 3rd has really started kicking my ass because I'm just completely worn out and dead tired ALL the time, and I'm also starting to get really, really sore. I know that it's just going to get worse, and I try not to complain, but some days it's just not fun at all and I already want him here and now that I'm hurting and so tired, I just want it that much more.
I'm so excited to meet this little babe, and I've already been picturing what he might look like. Jacques told me the other day that he hopes he has blue eyes and dark hair, which is exactly what I've said I hope he has!
He's been getting the hiccups like crazy the past couple weeks, sometimes up to 3 times a day. It's cute at first, but then it gets a bit annoying and I mostly feel bad for him because I HATE the hiccups so I feel for him. He's also started pushing his back up really hard against my stomach, so I've been rubbing his back (sometimes for 20-30 minutes at a time) and he loves it! It's so weird, but so cute. Jacques' mom said he used to do that, too. I love when I can feel his tiny little arm pushing against me, or even his boney little elbows and knees jabbing me. It still blows my mind that there is a person inside of me when I actually think about it and watch him do his little acrobatics and my stomach goes all crazy. I can't wait to be the mommy to a little boy, though - it's going to be so fun, and so different from what I'm used to (which is a family FULL of girls!).
If anyone remembers to bring a camera to my shower tomorrow, I'll post some pictures. I can't wait for all the tiny, cute stuff we'll be getting for this little boy, and so appreciative of everyone who's gone out of their way to help us out, and make this a special time for us. I genuinely appreciate people's goodness and thoughtfulness.
