34 weeks

How am I doing? I'm doing. Everyone's been asking me this question lately, and I really don't have much of a better answer. I'm tired. I'm achy. I'm anxious. I'm excited... but do people really want to hear all that?

Things are coming along, that's for sure. BabyBaby is quite active these days, or maybe it's just that she's running out of room and I can feel every move, turn, jab, punch, kick, etc. Though I will say the kicks and punches have subsided... now its just more of a feeling of her presence. I can tell whenever she flips or moves, and rather than a sudden poke that goes away, its more of a gradual pressure that really feels like she's trying to push her way out from the inside (Bella/Renesmee, much?). But really, I love feeling her moving, and I swear we have a repertoire sometimes... she reacts to everything I do, and I react back at her. It's really amusing. And seeing the bumps and the movements from the outside is adorable, and at the same time somewhat freaky. Really reminds me of Alien, not going to lie. And I'm glad I can still see her - with the anterior placenta I thought I wouldn't be able to, but oh no... she finds a way to make her presence be known.

Speaking of anterior, I think she's spinning. I swear I can feel her butt up front... if not, then it's her head, and that's really not good. I'm being optimistic... we'll see what happens when I go for my 34 week appointment on Tuesday.

But in the meantime I've been keeping busy. I THINK the nesting is starting to kick in. All I want to do is clean, not that it's a bad thing. At least it includes BabyBaby stuff, which is multi-productive. I went and bought some Dreft at Babies R Us yesterday so I could start washing clothes, and my mother and I ironed out the sheers for the nursery windows yesterday so that when I hang them they're not a wrinkled mess.

PSA about Dreft at Babies R Us: 32 load bottle = $12.49. 64 load bottle = $27.99. No, I don't get the logic either. I only bought 1 32 load bottle for now, with a gift card because I didn't want to wait, but I think from here on out we're going to be purchasing in bulk from Amazon.com.

Speaking of Babies R Us.... it was so hard to walk in there and not buy anything else other than laundry detergent. And their Halloween stuff is out!!! But no - I'll be good. At least until after the big shower next weekend!

But yeah, stuff's coming along. We're attending a friend's wedding this afternoon, and I'm glad I didn't have to purchase a fancy maternity dress (thanks again, Angel!). Sadly, the wedding is having an open bar. *le sigh* At least Chris gets a DD, and I get as many Shirley Temples as I can handle - my blood sugar is going to LOVE that.

Also, my innie of a belly button is one day closer to being flush with my belly. Not popping out - at least not yet. Chris does NOT love that.

Now, it's time to eat. Again.
