The littlest monkey

I just want to start by saying I plan on doing a legit update with good pictures of the nursery soon, I just have stuff for the hospital bag on the floor and am too lazy to clean it up to take some photos :) hehe!!

I wanted to do a little belly update, and post a crazy video of the little alien inside my belly! Warning, if you do not want to see my bare belly don't watch the video, and don't go to the beach with me ever :) hehe! 

Baby has been doing really well and is moving A LOT! Baby tends to favour my right side and is head down and generally stays that way. Baby gets the hiccups pretty much every time I eat, which is a good sign and a super weird feeling! Baby likes to move a lot in the morning when I wake up and in the evening from about 8-10. I find that I spend a lot of time just watching my belly, I probably look like a psycho to people who just see me hanging out, but OH well! 




You have to wait until 15 seconds(or so) in before it gets good! 

I am currently 32.5 weeks, which is exciting because I am in the single digits for counting down the weeks! I have started to get Braxton Hicks contractions which is good because it means that my body is preparing for the real deal, but its also really annoying and uncomfortable! 

I am finished work August 15, which is coming up SUPER quickly! HOORAY!! I find I get contractions whenever I work, or am on my feet for a long period of time, so it will be nice to be able to take breaks whenever necessary! 

My OB appointments have been pretty boring, as baby and I are very healthy, but this past week we had some excitement! I have been measuring exactly as I should be, but this past appointment I didn't really grow from my last appointment 2 weeks ago. So we have to go for an ultrasound to make sure that baby is growing as it should! I am fairly certain that baby dropped since the last appointment, as I am feeling a lot more movement farther down as well as pressure! Baby dropping would definitely affect how my tummy is measuring, so that is reassuring especially with the amount of movement I still feel! 


Here is my photo from Tuesday at 32 weeks! :) 

Well off to bed for me! Don't worry, I haven't turned 90 just yet. I read in bed before falling asleep especially when Justin is on night shift :D
