Week 31 Check Up

I cannot believe we are in our 8th month!  I say that and most days these days, I feel like I've been pregnant FOREVER. 

We had our 31 week check up with our midwife group yesterday.  Everything is looking great.  She is measuring a week further along, which really means nothing at this point other than she's healthy.  She is facing down, which is really great news, as long as she stays that way.  We have check ups now every 2 weeks until we get a little closer to the due date and then it moves to every week.

The nursery is coming along great.  We are almost done.  Travis has been working his tail off, with the help of family and friends, to get the wayne's coating and trim up and painted.  It is going to look so great once it's done. 

Our nursery furniture is also slowly making its way to the Cooper household.  Our crib arrived last week.  Our rug is suppose to be done sometime this week.  We already have our changing table.  Our glider is SUPPOSE to be here on May 2nd.  Our side table is also suppose to be here by next week too.  Apparently, Pottery Barn Kids online orders all of their items from overseas but there is a Dallas warehouse that stocks the same products.  It all depends on HOW you order it... via phone or internet.  Whatever, as long as we get our side table before the back ordered date of August!

We are also wrapping up our Bradley classes.  A 12 week crash course on birth & newborn care.  It's nuts to think that the end of this class almost means Baby Girl will be here that much sooner.

Baby is doing great on a personal note.  She is moving a ton still but the movements have gone from drop kicks in my stomach to hard rolling movements.  The midwife said her feet and hands are on my left side which makes sense.  I was starting to get worried when I could only feel her on my left side. 

Being pregnant has definitely become more difficult.  It's harder to move around on a daily basis.  I am not sleeping very well anymore and most days feel like I would rather nap than eat during my lunch break.  I shouldn't complain.  My first trimester was so easy and I know for most people it's not.  And everyone gets to go through the same joys of the third trimester.  Everyone tells me to get plenty of rest NOW because once she gets here, I am done with sleeping for a while.  But I can't seem to be able to sleep very consistently.  Oh well, it will all be worth it.

Hope everyone is doing great and had a wonderful Easter!
