The joys of being pregnant...

I think my eyes can only see PINK these days. I've been spending so much time getting ready for this baby to arrive, it seems I fill my days setting up the nursery and getting things we will need. In addition, my "nesting" period has set in. Brent is LOVING it! Everyday he comes home to having another closet cleaned out or my many "hot spots" or "piles" as he puts it, cleaned up. He says this is the best part about pregnancy!

I'm experiencing Braxton-Hicks contractions which I didn't have with the other two and just this week she has started getting the hiccups but only in the middle of the night which wakes me up. The girls love to see my stomach move and take different shape and they are really cute about hugging my belly before they will hug me. (You can tell who they love most right now!) This pregnancy is going by so quickly it's hard to believe in 2 1/2 months she will be here. At my last appointment this week I was shocked to learn that I had gained 9 pounds in one month! My Dr. said it was mostly water weight because I'm measuring right on and my legs were a little more swollen than last time. The girls tell me I look like I swallowed a watermelon. I am now going every two weeks to the Dr. so now the time is really going to fly! I just hope I can get everything ready in time!
