32 weeks: Pregnancy Update

Time is ticking and I am having a hard time trying to enjoy the rest of this pregnancy and not wishing it was March.  I am very big, but it just appears that I am bigger because I am very short.

Updates:
- I am having a boy and hubby and I are still pondering the right name.  I hope we reach a conclusion soon!  Right now we like Emery, Titus, Jonah, and a few others.  We know the middle name will be Lee, a name that runs in men in my hubby's family.

- Blessed that my sciatic nerve has not been bothering me.  Bummer is my hips and pelvic area has had a lot of pressure so instead of lower back ache my hips ache and my pelvic area hurts.

- My daughter keeps asking when her brother will be here so she is ready!

-My measurements of my belly are good, heartbeat is good.

- I have gained 15 pounds so far, I think that is great!  :)  My goals is to not gain more then 25!  Got to keep an eye on what I eat for the remainder... don't want to allow myself to get every craving I have.

-My house seems organized and ready for baby which gives me relief.

-I do need to go bra shopping... things are not fitting!  One thing I can NOT handle is being uncomfortable.  I should also look for a couple good nursing bras too.  I think its about time Victoria's Secret starts to sell nursing bras!

-The waddle is very present and I will just giggle at myself.

-Selah keeps telling me she wants to help feed her brother and help change his diapers.  She is going to be a great mama helper and a super duper big sister.  She also has been saying "I dont want my brother to bite me."  Not sure if someone has bitten her or if someone said babies bite??

-I feel extremely blessed and very excited to meet this little blessing.

-This boy is 10 times more active then Selah ever was.  I could probably feel him moving and kicking 100 times in an hour.  He just loves to tumble around, but I am sure it is getting to be a bit tight inside so he wont have much room soon.

-My belly button never popped with my daughter and it appears right now that my belly button is disappearing but I hope it does not pop.  We will wait and see. It is very itchy every day and I lotion it several times but skin is stretching.

-Still rejoicing over 0 stretch marks... even my husband has gotten some stretch marks during this pregnancy.  LOL

- I do have some nasal congestion that does not seem to want to go away.

Here are my 32 week pictures:

Oh and VS does sell nursing bras just not many to choose from and you have to order them online :D

Wow, you look great!! I can totally relate to being short. When I was pregnant with my daughter it seems like every pound showed on me like 10 pounds, what I would have given to be taller while I was pregnant! Good luck with the remainder of your pregnancy!!

One thing I used when I was congested while pregnant was Vicks. I would rub vicks on my feet at night before going to bed and then put on socks. It worked for me and I was super excited since I didn't wat to take any medication while I was pregnant. You might give it a try!

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
