33 weeks

I am 33 weeks and officially uncomfortable. My belly is stretched so far that it feels like my skin is going to burst. I have heartburn pretty much all the time and sleeping is becoming increasingly more difficult. I have to sleep on my sides because obviously my stomach is not an option and your not supposed to sleep on your back. When you do the baby crushes a nerve in your back that causes the baby's heart rate to drop. SOOOOO I am allowed to lay on my sides....Aiden doesn't like my sides. So I don't sleep well at all these days. I know it will get better as soon as Aiden starts to drop, but until then I am afraid I will just be uncomfortable. It's like constantly wearing a too tight uncomfortable shirt that you can't take off.

Anyways the other day ben and I both had the day off and we went out running errands and shopping. AND we got Aiden's coming home outfit from baby gap! I am so excited cause it is sooooo precious. I had been having a hard time finding something really cute for his "coming home" and baby gap is more expensive than I would like for baby clothes. I mean they aren't outrageous or anything but it seems silly to spend a lot of money on a baby outfit that he may get to wear 2 or 3 times if he's lucky before he outgrows it. So here it is!!

I just really hope it fits because it is 0-3 months and it says the weight is 7-12 pounds so even if he is a little smaller or a little bigger than what they are estimating it should fit. Anyways I am starting to get very anxious about his coming. I don't like to say 7 weeks because that sounds too long (and also I am REALLY hoping it won't be that long) I like 48 days...that doesn't sound like that far away. I am trying to concentrate on spending time with Ben and enjoying these last weeks before our lives are forever changed. However; it is getting very hard to not be anxious!!!

It is so very natural for you to be feeling anxious!!!

It is both exciting and scary.

The three of you are being covered with prayers.

all of us here are so ready to be there when Aiden comes.

Love, Mamaw

I love the outfit. It is perfect for Florida.

He is going to be a preppy little thing.


48 days does sound shorter than 7 weeks.

I better get my bags packed and my lesson plans done.

That is the cutest outfit. Sorry that you are having trouble getting comfortable and sleeping. I agree, 48 days sounds much shorter than 7 weeks. I know you and Ben are very anxious. We all are counting the days......


Love you both,
