Feeling very pregnant!!

I have felt so good all of pregnancy, but all of the sudden I've gotten so much more uncomfortable. I made it about 33 weeks feeling great, so I'll take it. I'm hoping continuing to go to the gym will help some, at least for as long as I can continue to do so. I've started getting some swelling in one leg, so not sure how long I can continue that. It's the same leg that I have gotten really nasty varicose veins on as well, so I assume the two are related. 

Okay, enough complaining. I came into this by choice and I knew there would be some discomfort. I am thankful POPCORN and I are healthy and looking so forward to seeing the daddies with him/her at birth!!

I think I left off at 31 weeks before...

That week I also went to my monthly surrogate dinner. It was a lot of fun, as always!!

The day before we turned 32 weeks the daddies came for a hospital tour!  It was so much fun watching them be all excited about the arrival of their little one and ask all of the first time parent questions. That visit made me more excited than ever for the birth!!

I've been saying all along that I wanted to sew something for POPCORN. I finally got around to it. I made a blanket and a little taggies blankie!!

That week we also had a doctors appointment. POPCORN's heartbeat was perfect, but the doctor thought I was measuring a little big. I think his measurement was off, but that means we get another ultrasound next week, so I'm not complaining!!  Can't wait to get a little peak!!

That brings us to last weekend, when we got to 33 weeks!!

I can't wait to post again soon with an ultrasound picture or two.

Hopefully less complaints too...but that may be wishful thinking!

28-30 weeks

We are now 30 weeks!  POPCORN is very active, which is perfect because it means I don't have to worry about movement!  He/she is head down as of today....in this position. 

  

With any luck he/she will stay head down and move farther down into my pelvis in the coming weeks!  

My boys love feeling POPCORN kick, but while at the OB today my 5 year old said he wants the doctor to take the baby out so I can carry him again. He better not get his hopes up too much because he is too old to be carried around anyways!!

We had an awesome Christmas and New Year's and the whole time I kept thinking about how nice it will be to see pictures of POPCORN during the holidays next year.  On Christmas I wanted to try to create a special picture for POPCORN's daddies. 

I have been feeling great, no major complaints (knock on wood).  I find that I feel kinda crummy on days that I skip the gym though, so I try to go as much as possible. Here is POPCORN and I at the gym today!

I started work officially this week, but actually started doing some work last week. I am loving being a surrogate case manager!!! It is awesome to be able to work from home and get more involved in surrogacy!

Here are some belly pics from the last two weeks.
