The countdown begins!

I really cannot believe that there are only 47 days left until my due date! I am certainly glad that my pregnancy is not throughout the summer because last week when it was 80 degrees in San Diego, I was a grumpy bear. Being hot is not something that normally happens to me but man, shoes were sure making my feet feel very suffocated!

This past week was challenging for me. My emotions are starting to run overtime again. I'm starting to feel pretty tired, uncomfortable, and fat/heavy all of the time. Carrying around all this extra weight with Emma squashing my ribs makes breathing a laborious process lately! At SDSU, I usually park on the bottom floor of the parking structure and walk up the six flights of stairs to class. Well after walking up ONE flight and being out of breath, I opted to take the elevator the rest of the way. Pitiful, I know.

Sleeping....well, I miss sleeping. I am on a very routine "wake up every 90 minutes" for the bathroom already. This is a good time for me to switch which side I'm sleeping on since Emma's noggin makes sleeping on one side for too long pretty uncomfortable. Emma usually likes to wake up and play at my 2 am trip to the bathroom. I hope this is not a sign of things to come with my lil' nocturnal ball of fun! Maybe I've been reading too much of the "Twilight" series and Emma thinks playing at night is cool. =)

I wasn't planning on posting any of the pics from my 32 week ultrasound since it's kind of hard to tell what you're looking at. But after a few demands, here are a few. The top picture is a side view her leg and foot at the top. The arrow is pointing to her toes. The bottom two pictures are profile views of her scrunchy little face. The outline of her face is on the right and the nubs in the middle are arms/legs. The grayish blobs on top are the placenta. Hey, you asked, I said they were hard to tell what the heck you are looking at!



Larry went camping with some of the guys this weekend for his last trip away before the baby comes. I was trying not to be too bossy, but I demanded that he did not go anywhere that did not have cell phone reception after April 1st. It was nice to have some time to myself at home and enjoy the calm before the storm. I will be heading up to the Bay Area/ Los Banos this next weekend for Baby Shower #2 with my family before driving back down with my mom, who will be staying for the week to help wash baby clothes, put stuff away, etc. etc. It was such a beautiful day here yesterday so I had the grand plan of going to the beach to write my thank-you notes today, but it is gray, cold, and windy today so I'll probably just work on them curled up in a blanket instead.
