Week 32... Only 8 more to go!

Week 32 means that Parker is roughly 3.75 pounds and about 16.7 inches long, and growing!

Oh my god. I have so much homework to do and an OUTRAGEOUS amount of resistance. Hence, blogging...

This morning I bit the bullet and bought a ton of stretch pants and long t-shirt dresses. I am so hot that I am willing to turn into a circa-1986 teenager for comfort's sake. Style be damned.

I am DONE with people asking me if I'm carrying twins or am going to give birth any day now. I am not that big! Yes, I'm much bigger than before, but Lance & I watched a pregnancy documentary yesterday and all the women actually at term were WAY bigger than me. I don't know what people are thinking when telling a pregnant woman that she couldn't possibly get any bigger... I'm sure I've said stuff like that before and NEVER AGAIN!

On a good note, that documentary was pretty intense. I can't see a birth without bursting into tears at the intensity. It is so powerful, even if it's just strangers! I can't imagine watching Parker make her way out. Tooooooo much for me.

Lance is finally getting better after a bad bout of stomach flu, or something along those lines. He's been so miserable and it's so nice to see some spark in his eyes and color in his cheeks again. Let's hear it for time, rest and Pedialite.

Really excited about Mom coming for a mid-week visit. And for the work party next weekend. It'll be great to have friends over and get the house all ready for Parker. It makes everything seem much more real.

But of course I won't be able to enjoy/attend any of it if I don't get my homework done. But, geez, who can study when the sun is out, the birds are chirping, and a baby is almost here?!
