Getting ready for baby

So I guess at 32.5 weeks its time to start putting things together for baby???? I guess..... it's a slow process when your pregnant, have a 2 year old and work full time (just sayin, its my blog and I can whine if I want too). I think I finally have most of the big things. Still need a double stroller, but the pack-n-play, crib, bedding, boppy, breast pump, moby wrap, swing, bouncer, carseat... have all been purchased. Now its just diapers, bottles, clothes, toys and we should be good to go! I'm sure I'm forgetting something but that'll do for now. So here's how prepping for baby looks:

This is normally what I feel like doing when I get home...

Good thing I have a super awesome boss!!!!

And I'd much rather spend my evenings looking into the eyes of my sweet little boy....

This kid has better eye lashes than me!!!

Things are still a mess but they are at least readily available.....but guests can't exactly sleep over....

And here is the baby bedding! I'm excited to get it washed and put together =)

The pack-n-play is set up in my room....Kayden thinks its for his puppy...won't he be surprised! We keep talking about baby sister, where she is and her coming out. He doesn't totally get it, but we're working on it.

Her wardrobe is starting to collect.....just need to do some laundry...

I saw my dr on Tuesday and she says baby is measuring perfectly! Blood pressure is great, my aches and pains are normal (nomal sucks!), and I'll see her again in 2 weeks. At the next appointment we'll decide if we want to go another 2 weeks and then start going every week or if we'll jump right into every week. Soooooo close!!!!!

24, 31 and 32.5 weeks....Grow baby Grow!

How far along: 32.5 weeks
Total weight gain: -17 .... finally gaining a little weight back
Best moments this month: Watching my belly dance. This girl likes to move!
Food cravings: Depends on the day....but I'm in love with Special K Oats and Honey cereal! Hits the spot every time.
Gender: It's a Girl! Devyn, Tenley, Tara, Emery, Raleigh, Reese, Lacey, Taylor.......still working on finalizing that one. But it will stay a secret until birth!
Labor signs: I go between regular contractions and braxton hicks. They suck!
What I miss: Sleeping....this belly is starting to make it difficult to sleep :(
What I am looking forward to: Holding my sweet baby girl!
Milestones: Baby is the size of a squash/durian! Baby should be head down and slowly running out of room, making those kicks even more uncomfortable. Baby is also keeping its eyes open when awake and its bones are hardening. 

And this is what started to get me all anxious. A good family friend of ours, Allison, was due 2 weeks after me. Well she had a little complication and her sweet baby boy Bryce was born on Tuesday afternoon at 3:03pm, weighing 3lb 1oz, 15in long. Teeeeny tiny!! Thankfully God is watching over that little guy. He's breathing on his own, eating and is only scheduled to be in the NICU for 8 weeks!

Welcome sweet baby Bryce!

Allison holding him for the first time! Soooooo tiny and sooooo sweet!
