31 week mountain trip






We took a trip to the mountains last weekend with Robyn and Ryan. You can see that my belly is getting bigger! We had our 32 week appointment today and things are going along as they should! Isabella's kicks are getting stronger - sometimes they make me wince! I am measuring 32 cm from my pubic bone to the top of my uterus - average growth is 1 cm per week of your pregnancy, so I am right on target. You can see from the pictures that last weekend we hiked Roan Mountain. I was really huffing and puffing! I can definitely tell that she is big enough to affect my breathing. We have started our prenatal classes and are learning a lot. Nick is going to be such a great labor coach and take care of me every step of the way! Next week we get to take a tour of the Women's Hospital. We STILL haven't received our nursery bedding yet - it will be 9 weeks as of Monday! The seller from eBay swears that it is shipping today. We'll believe it when we see it though. It has been a frustrating process. I can't believe that we only have about 8 weeks left. I think that it will fly by, just like this summer has, because I'm going to be so busy with school about to start. I am still feeling pretty well overall, although I am starting to be affected by my larger girth. I had a heck of a time trying to plug something in to the USB port on the back of the computer last night. Tying my shoes is becoming more difficult. Walking for a long distance downhill makes my back hurt. I had two nights in a row that I didn't get a lot of sleep. I've been getting heartburn more frequently. They say that's a sign that the baby will be born with a lot of hair, so we'll see how much hair Isabella has in 8 more weeks. She does move a lot, although she is quickly running out of room in there. Overall though, I'm still enjoying my pregnancy, and looking forward to what is to come!
