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

Wish I could say I have only gained 15 pounds!!!!!!

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!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
