- It's November! I'm almost 33 weeks pregnant and my doctor's appointment yesterday showed that everything is perfect and right on track. Baby girl is positioned head down, has a strong heartbeat and is kicking around A LOT. BP, weight and all other factors for me are in check.
- There are some things about pregnancy that you don't hear about until it's your turn to experience them. For me it's been third trimester insomnia. Since everyone seems to tell Spencer and me to be getting as much sleep as we can before the baby comes, I thought that would be just a matter of, you know, sleeping. Not so, my friend! My body thinks the best way to prepare for baby is by waking up several times during the night, including the entire period from roughly 3-6 am each morning. At least when I have a baby I'll have something meaningful/necessary to do during those hours.
- We started our childbirth class a few weeks ago and so far it's been good! I think we both learn new things at each class and have enjoyed getting more mentally prepared for labor and delivery.
- We took a weekend trip about two weeks ago to San Francisco. We wanted to take one last getaway before life changes big time and we figured it would be great fun to go back to San Francisco - one of the first places we traveled to while dating, and where we got engaged. I guess this is called a babymoon, but I kind of refuse to call it that. We had a great time relaxing, eating, and exploring the city.
- I can barely zip the one jacket that still fits over my belly (see photo above). I really don't want to buy a maternity coat since I'll only need it for a few wintery weeks -- do I need one? Plus, I hardly get cold anymore since I have a built-in internal space heater now.
- I saw this cute tutorial today for a turkey applique shirt. I want to remember it for next year and make one for the babe.

Looks like you're in the home stretch! You look well prepared--much more than I was! Jenny told me the good news...hope everything goes well and you get some sleep before the big event.
First off, you cute little pregnant lady, I'm so happy to see pictures! I had to laugh about the insomnia; I can totally relate and always just want the baby to come so I have a reason to be awake. :) I'm so glad you got away to SF for a few days. You are such fun. And my hair definitely falls out after birth- it's gotten progressively worse with each baby. It's so worth it, though! I am SO excited for you. It's getting so close!
