31 weeks
32 weeksOnly about 6 and 1/2 weeks until my due date! I can't believe it. I'm almost 34 weeks now. It will be here before we now it. I'm really having fun getting everything ready. I've had a long list of baby things and we've been wittling away at it for a while.
I have had a few nights where I have been up with contractions for four to five hours. But my Dr. checked everything and said that everything looked good and to come in if they were any worse than they had been. I haven't had any nights like that for a couple weeks. Just a few contractions here and there. Like last Sunday when I was giving a talk in church. I felt my face get really hot and I almost skipped to the end and sat down. But I decided that my talk was already short enough that I should finish. It wasn't the funnest thing though. I'm just glad that it's over. It was a long week worrying about that stupid talk...poor Billy. He has been wonderful to me. My Dr just had her baby a couple days ago so now she won't be there for a month. So he has to stay in there for at least that long!

That's a good list. Your pros outnumbered your cons by 3!!! See you soon.
Good list of things!!! even the cons....just wait the baby will get much bigger in the next month and then you will waddle even more and people with stare wore then now and the people will start asking you when your going to pop...like your a balloon. Hope you have better nights of rest...get them while you can cause when the baby comes they don't come very often...I worried all the time when Elizabeth stopped moving..."oh my whats wrong" they toldme that she was sleeping....you are going to do awsome!!! don't let people tell you how to give birth or how to raise your child...not worth the time of thinking about.....its going to be a great time in your life....oh labor hurts and thats all I'm going to say!!!!! So glad that we are friends and if you have any questions for a young mom just ask I don't mind at all!!!! have fun!
Holy cow I wrote you a book...sorry!
The one about strangers staring at you like they've never seen a pregnant lady made me laugh! That's so true. Either you get the really sympathetic looks like they feel so bad for you or the ones that thing you look like an alien. I'm getting so anxious for your little guy to get here! Take care!
Wow, I can relate to all of that. (when I was pregnant anyway.) I read a book called "belly laughs" by jenny macarthy that was HILLARIOUS. about the ranting and ravings of prego ladies. I read the whole thing in one night (it isn't very long) but it is very funny especially when you are prego. -by the way, you forgot one of the biggest cons: when complete strangers touch your belly like it is appropriate. Lol. It makes me want to reach over and touch there stomach and say "how do you like it?" lol. Congrats though. Babies are god's greatest gift. :)
I love how positive you are about being prenant. I think you look adorable! especially in the rocking chair. I am so excited for you!
haha i love that we're pregnant at the same time and that i can actually be experiencing some of these pros and cons as i read this!! you are so adorable april! cutest little belly=)
You are the cutest pregnant lady!
I just have to say you look darling! You don't look like you are having twins either. ha You were just sooo tiny before that you are all belly! You look great! This is the fun part, you are soo close to holding that little boy of yours!
