32 Weeks

I have only done updates on Adelyn lately so I thought I should give an update on myself. 

I am in the homestretch now!  Less than 8 weeks to go until baby!!  And I am more than ready!  This pregnancy has been so different than the first.  I don't know if it is because I am older or because my body already knows the drill or because I am chasing around a toddler, but it has been so much harder. 

I feel like with Adelyn I had a pretty typical experience.  Morning sickness the first trimester, break the second trimester and huge/sleepy the third trimester. 

This baby I feel like I have not been able to catch a break.  I am experiencing symptoms that I never did the first time.  Weight loss, extreme morning sickness, heartburn, soreness, heavy belly, early contractions, insomnia, back pain, leg cramps, etc.  I feel a lot bigger this time around as well. I am more motivated than ever to get my pre-pregnancy body back and feel pretty again.  

I am so ready to have this baby, but I feel so unprepared at the same time.  We don't have a name, the nursery is no where close to set up, I haven't gathered all the baby supplies, I haven't been reading anything about what to expect or schedules.  Travis said it will all come back and not to worry.  I do have my hospital bag packed for the most part.  I had pretty consistent contractions (every 8-10 minutes) last week that lasted 3 hours so I packed my bag the next day.

Here is a very exclusive picture of us from Sunday.  I hate pictures when I am pregnant and certainly don't like sharing them.
