just updating... for now
32 weeks pregnant today with a good report from my midwife. Baby is well, mom is well.I lost 1lb. Somehow losing that tiny little pound felt good after the 22lb. gain I've made since January. Even if it won't last long and is sure to sky rocket in the next two months.
The summer heat hasn't been a bit of a bother... until last night. Tosses and turns and failed attempts to sleep despite blowing fans and open windows. Why must we always have the highest humidity on the hottest days here in northern NY?
I never fathomed how much my ribs could ache. Most often at night, the pain above my belly and in my upper back makes me crawl to our living room floor to stretch and gain some sort of relief. Anyone else understand my complaint?
My frustration with finding pillows to go with our new couches led me to JoAnne Fabrics. Instead of purchasing pillows at $12-30 a piece, we now have 7 beautiful pillows for $20, and my grandmother's sewing machine up and running. [I'll include pictures later.]
On Friday I'll meet my biggest sister in Watertown to pick up my littlest sister. We'll have many days to laugh at each other, organize baby clothes, work on the nursery, and plan fun outings! You can imagine how excited I am.
I've had the privilege of watching a friend's 5 month old daughter lately. She'll laugh at our dog until she just can't handle her gut wrenching laughter anymore. Its great fun. Its also fun knowing that this little lady will be great friends with our little lady, considering they'll be sharing backyards.
... and yet another mindless update for all to enjoy...

said... I'm so glad you're doing well! And, don't worry, the 3rd trimester doesn't automatically guarantee crazy weight-gain. I usually gain a lot less in the 3rd trimester than I do 2nd. I'm not sure why-- it's just the way my body's done it every time, regardless of what I do and how I eat!
The invitation for your baby shower came and I was so disappointed to see that it's the same day we're scheduled to leave for a family reunion in Pgh. :( I am DEFINITELY going to have to get together with you soon. Actually, Daniel's going to try to take some time off here and there in the next 2 weeks, so if you have anything bringing you to the Canton area (prenatal visits, etc.), let me know and maybe we can get together?
