Additionally

Baby has been getting the hiccups more often - not sure if I mentioned that. Probably 3 out of the last 4 days! This morning when I woke up, Baby must have woken up, and shortly thereafter he got the hiccups. Can't wait to see them instead of just feel them!! 33 days till due date!

35 weeks and counting

So yesterday was 35 weeks! It's hard to believe that Baby could arrive in just 2 short weeks! We are still getting some things ready, and I think the next thing will be the car seat. I'd like to have it installed by next week, so we can have it checked and are ready, just in case.

My work had a baby shower for me last night, which was so thoughtful! People brought some snacky type foods (taco dip, fruit salad, veggies), and there was a cake. We got a lot of nice things - some clothes and blankets, swaddlers, bottles, a couple of books and stuffed animals, baby monitor, bouncy/vibrator seat, and lots of diapers and wipes! It was just so great of them to do that for me and Baby. The gifts filled my back seat and the available space in my trunk. I unloaded them all last night (Adam is out of town), but didn't really get anything put away. I did get some of our Christmas decorations out, put new Christmas sheets on our bed, did some laundry, put other laundry away, took the trash out to the curb, and did dishes! So I definitely got some things done yesterday, although not as much as I had wanted. But I was starting to get worn out, and I was getting some Braxton-Hicks that weren't going away, so I figured it was time to call it quits for the day. I took a shower and they went away, but I still decided that was enough for one day. It was nice to get the new sheets on the bed! And Jasp was a good snuggler.

I've been getting more heartburn, but my acne is starting to get better! Still there, still not great, but I can see improvement. I think it's because I have been washing my face only at night with this very mild all-natural soap and I haven't been touching my face and messing with pimples as much. I'm sure I won't see things go back to normal until after Baby arrives, but in the meantime, it's nice to see a change for the better.

Doctor appointment tomorrow afternoon, then I think I may start going in weekly... Baby will be here soon!! I also go to the chiro on Monday morning. The other day I did something and it really put my back out of whack, it was very uncomfortable. I don't know if he will want me to start seeing him weekly, but I will probably want to! I'll keep you posted...
