I have not done a very good job of updating on this pregnancy, but wanted to at least one more time before she arrives!  Thankfully this pregnancy has been pretty uneventful.  It has been harder but nothing out of the ordinary.  I have not been sleeping well and have been struggling with SI joint pain in my hips.  I have also had pretty terrible heartburn and general aches and pains.  The hardest part is still having to get up early and be running around all day taking care of Ethan, so I don’t get much time to rest.  My pregnancy with Ethan was just so easy!

We are very thankful that baby girl is growing consistently and moving like crazy.  I have been measuring right on every appointment and I passed my glucose tolerance test.  I have gained about the same this time as I did with Ethan, though my belly is much bigger!  Most of my maternity shirts don’t cover my belly anymore.

Since Ethan has moved into his new room we have got out all of the baby stuff and unpacked it in the nursery.  Her closet is full of pink and purple clothes!  Ethan is very aware of what is going on and every time I bring home a new outfit he says “baby sister’s shirt.”  I have no idea how he knows this, but he knows!  I am picking up things from Buy Buy Baby as I have coupons and we are almost done buying the last few things we need.  I’m getting a little nervous about how we will fit all of Ethan’s toys, plus all of the baby gear (swing, bouncy seat, car seat, pack n play, etc) AND a Christmas tree in our house.  The Christmas tree may have to come down early.  I have also had some nesting energy over the past week or so and have tackled a few projects I wanted to get done.  Thankfully we have a quiet November and December so we should have plenty of time to get ready.  We are all getting very excited to meet her!
