Wow. Here we are in the middle of week 31 already. I'm feeling pretty good, overall. I'm very very very tired but still good. I'm pretty excited and staying positive that this time I will be able to go into labor naturally rather than having to be induced. When I was pregnant with Gavin, at this point my feet were so swollen that I would have to go home in the afternoons to put my feet up. While I am having a little bit of swelling, it's not nearly as significant as it was in my last pregnancy.
I think it's finally set in that this baby is just right around the corner for us. I hopped online to find a list of items that I will need for the baby. Not having a baby shower this time around really makes me nervous. My list of things that I need is pretty long but I prioritized it all and we'll stat tackling it next payday. I also pulled a list of things to put in my overnight bag for the hospital. It seems ridiculous but I didn't have to worry about that last time. My labor came so unexpectedly, my mom and sisters packed my bag while I was checking into the hospital.
I have an appointment to register at the hospital next week along with my 32 week appointment. Our insurance benefits change a little bit come January 1st so we're praying that we'll have this baby before the new year. Even if it's on New Year's Eve, it'd save us quite a bit of money.
After months and months of disagreeing about our little boy's name, it seems we have come to an agreement. We decided that we aren't going to share the name until the baby is here though. Just because everyone has their opinions and sometimes it can really ruin the name for you. We're happy with the name we chose and can't wait to meet our little boy!
Well, that's all for now!
