...and hopefully less than 6 to go. That is crazy that I am in the single digit weeks left now. I have another doctor appointment next Friday. It's my last one before I start going weekly. What a scary thought.
Well...I'm going to be a mother soon. Look out world!

33 Week Check-Up
Yesterday was my 33 week appointment. Blood pressure and all is fine, as usual. I'm measuring 2 weeks behind at the moment. Doctor said she could probably have slowed down growth and then speed right back up and catch up again. She is going to check me again at my next appointment on the 24th. She said if I am still measuring behind we are going to do another ultrasound to see what's going on in there.
While I am beyond excited to get another peak at her inside my belly before she's born, I'm still worried that something could be wrong. I know I shouldn't worry, especially when the doctor tells me not to worry and doesn't seem that worried about it. I still can't help it. I hope all is okay in there.
Thanks to my darling mother, she says I can't possibly get any fatter and doesn't believe I could be measuring behind. How nice of her.

Dear Sleep Gods,
I beg of you to give me a good nights sleep.
I just want to sleep.
I haven't slept solid in months, and it is just getting worse.
I am tired all day and all night long.
Can I at least have a nice nap when I get home?
Love,
Ashley
That is all for now, I guess.

32 weeks down.
Today I am 32 weeks pregnant - only 8 to go. Well, maybe. As long as I make it to 37 weeks, then Haley can make her exit at any time after that!
For the most part, I'm still feeling pretty well although some symptoms are coming back from the first trimester. I am started to get worn out pretty easily. By the end of the work day, I am totally exhausted, so I have resorted to taking naps again. My feet are swollen almost all day long every day. It sucks, but at least it's a good excuse to have to wear flip flops every day. By the way, thank you Old Navy for selling them 2 for $5. I have many fun spring colors now and I LOVE it.
It's hard to believe that it is April 1st. I can officially say that Haley is due next month. How crazy is that? It really doesn't feel like it's been a full 7 months already. Although I can say with certainty that I absolutely can't wait to meet her.

Successful Weekend!
I had such a great weekend, although it was so tiring!
Saturday was my surprise baby shower. Although I'm not sure how much of a surprise it really was since I knew so much about it - minus the date and time. haha. Casey and I got so many amazingly thoughtful (and useful!) gifts for Haley. I can not thank every one who helped out with the planning and the day itself for everything that they did for us. Casey and I are so grateful to have such wonderful family members.
Some of the things we got included, a jumper, highchair, mattress, lots and lots of clothes!, a bookshelf full of books. Once we started getting things organized, I plopped myself on the floor next to the bookcase and started checking out the books. Everyone was supposed to write a note inside for Haley. I was reading all the different notes to Casey and there we sat, crying. We bought a couple of books ourselves afterwards to add to the collection immediately and wrote notes ourselves. So of course, we were crying at those too! Finally Casey said, "I think we need to get used to the fact that we are having a daughter otherwise we are never going to stop crying." It was sweet.
Sunday was a day of cleaning and organizing, etc. We returned some items and got a whole bunch of other stuff. It was so much fun shopping for her! Once all the bedding was washed and put into the crib, I'm pretty sure I stood there for quite some time just staring at it. I can't believe how soon she'll be here.

Something To Do..
At least this gives me something to do while I am "working".
Tomorrow I have my 31 week appointment with the doctor. This is the first appointment that Casey won't be going with me to. My mom is going to go instead since she also has a doctors appointment across the street a little while after. I'm sure it will be my usual 5 minutes in and out of there. Although maybe this time, I should ask some of the questions I've been wondering about. I always get there ready to ask questions and then I guess I just get overwhelmed and forget.
A day closer to this stupid week being over. I have had a terrible week so far and just want it to end. Yesterday wasn't so bad, until the dog ran me into a car and then I broke a fork when I was cutting through lasagna. who breaks a fork on lasagna?
