Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall...

Well apparently I've been in a pregnancy brain fog, because my last post was in July. Awesome. Life's been moving pretty fast around here. I've got three more weeks left of work until Fall break, which is basically the start of my maternity leave. Can you say crazy? I have got to get to work on lesson plans...
Hmmm...
What else is new around here? Let's see...
I've had my first baby shower, thanks to my sweet mom and I still have two more to go. I celebrated with some of my favorite people and was so thankful for my sweet friends that were there. 
 And because I can't help but want to document the ginormousness of my midsection... here we are at 
32 weeks and 5 days. I'm so short that my midsection is just not all that long and roomy. So although baby b is measuring perfectly in size, my belly is measuring ahead because it's sticking so far out since that's the only other option.
We had our last ultrasound and everything continues to look great. I am honestly feeling really great these days, definitely tired at the end of the day- but I'm still going strong. My biggest complaints are that my swollen ankles are horrendous and my heart burn makes me want to die. ;) But then I feel baby b moving all around- "baby beluga in the deep blue sea" style and I'm completely thankful for this whole experience. I know these moments are the moments I will miss the most and I never want to take it for granted. The best part so far has been just sitting still and watching him move my stomach all around. It's completely amazing (& maybe somewhat creepy? Ha!) 

So with the goodbye of Summer, comes the hello of Fall- when we will become parents. Wow. 
Less than 50 days until we get to meet our son. Incredible!
