33 weeks and 3 days and the NESTING phase...

Yesterday was my 33 week appointment. I was supposed to have a 32 week and a 34 week appointment, but my doctor was out of town last week so they combined the two appointments. The baby's heartrate was 160. I still feel him move everyday. It's so amazing, completely indescribable. I measured about 32 weeks, but I think the MA measured it wrong. She was really pushing down on my belly instead of leaving the measuring tape flat along my belly. Whenever I measure, I'm exactly on. Although, I do look smaller right now this time around than I did with Brady (even though I think I've gained more weight this time). I might get induced the week of November 10th, but that's only about 5 days before my due date. I'm going to ask at my next appointment (in 2 weeks) if there's any way I can go the week of the 3rd. If not, you better believe I'll try any way possible to get the baby here the week of the 3rd. My mom put her order in for a Friday baby so that she could come down and stay the night with Brady (and not have to take too much time off work) so Steve could be at the hospital with me at night. She also said that my grandma's birthday is the 12th (a surefire way of getting in the will if I can hold out that long...like it's my decision!!!). I've been cramping a little bit, my doctor said not to worry. My body is just preparing for labor. I hope that means I'll go earlier! I've also been nesting the last few weeks. I've probably been driving Steven nuts! The house is always clean before I go to bed. They'll start checking me in 2 weeks to see if I'm dilating at all. Then I'll go in weekly. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. With Brady, everything was new and exciting. I loved every minute of pregnancy. Right now, I'm ready to be done. Of course I want my baby to be healthy, but the sooner the better!! We're thinking of naming him Jackson Zane. What do you think? It still could change. He might come out not looking like a Jackson at all. I guess we'll see!

Glad things are going good with this baby. I hope that things go the way you want them to! I never went early, but I wanted to really bad!!! Don't you love the nesting phase? It's so exhausting!!! LOL I was really bad with both pregnancies. Are you still up for going to gardner village? How about thursday the 16th instead of Monday the 13th. Let me know. =)

Love the name it goes good with Brady:) I think each pregnancy gets faster and faster, and then each child grown up faster than the one before, it seems like I just had Eden and she's almost 6moths, and I'm already thinking when I'll try to get pregnant with the next one. Crazy stuff. Good luck Stephanie
