Exhausted!

I'm 32 weeks now and the exhaustion is kicking in!  I can definitely tell I am carrying around an extra 25 pounds- my feet are beginning to swell and my bladder is constantly full!  This Monday has me a little down... I'm pretty sure it all started when I spilled a bowl of milk all over my belly (already at school so I couldn't change my shirt, and it only got worse from there).  But I know it will all be worth it in the end when I hold my lil' man in my arms and know that God created him just for us.   


The 32 week belly:

Brooks is about 4 pounds this week (ya, let's not do the math to find out how much of this weight gain is just me, hehe).  At this point, I am certain he has not flipped head down- considering he likes to nudge his head in between my ribs and hip bone.  Then, he tops it off with some upper cuts to my ribs- such a sweet little boy :)  His skin has been slightly transparent during his stay my belly, but now it is becoming more opaque as he packs on the pounds.  He is reaching his full length but will continue to get fatter in the weeks to come (gotta love a fat baby)!


We mounted his name in the nursery above his crib.  It ended up being quite a project, but we are happy with the finished product.  What do ya think?  (For all you teachers- especially my first critic...you know who you are, I am aware that his name is a proper noun and should be capitalized.  But we like the aesthetics of all lower case.  I will be sure to teach him the proper way to write his name)!

With our busy calendar, Tim and I have been quite the travelers.  We spent a weekend in Helen with my family- beautiful wedding, changing leaves, and good times! 

                           

And last weekend we headed to Kentucky!  It was a fun-filled, fabulous weekend as well!  We had a baby shower Friday night (a special thank you to all my KY family, especially Angie for all your hard work), went to the University of Kentucky game on Saturday, and were there for our God-son's baptism on Sunday.  

Time is really beginning to fly and I believe it's about time for me to pack my hospital bag.  All of you with experience- let me know what MUST be included!
