My growing Jelly belly

Week 33

Yikes! It’s coming up really fast. I’m excited about the baby, no doubt, but I still feel completely unprepared. I’m sure that after the baby showers, I’ll feel much more ready, but right now, I just feel lost.

On Monday, we had our final birthing class, and even had a “labor rehearsal”, which was interesting. She had us try out different breathing techniques and positions we might want to try during labor, finishing off with the “pushing stance”. It’s one of those things I hope no one walked by outside and looked through the window, because I’m sure we all just looked ridiculous. But, all in all, it gave me a better idea of what might work best for me, so I’m glad we did it. The class was definitely worth it, and we both feel much readier for the big day. I actually thought I’d be more scared of labor after the class, but I think I’m okay with it. I’m certainly getting to the point where I’m getting tired of being pregnant. It hasn’t been particularly bad at all. I’m just ready to have my old self back to relative normal.

I’ll post a few pictures here. First, are the onesies I’ve been embroidering over the last couple days. It’s been fun, but I’m glad I only have one left. My fingers are starting to get callouses from pushing the needle through. Also, I need to get restarted on my quilt. I lost all my momentum, so it’s hard to pick up where I left off.

Then, there’s a picture of the baby’s room. It’s not too decorated/furnished, and I didn’t go with any particular theme, but it’s a happy room to be in anyways.

Finally, here’s my week 33 belly.
