37 weeks

Went to the doc today.  He did not say what I wanted him to say, but it's what I expected.  Not really effacing or dilating baby is head down, but not engaged.  He also reminded me that I have a contract with Heavenly Father till April 12th.  So I guess we wait.  Oh, and he also said that my 3lb weight gain in just one week means that I need to lay down more.  That should be doable.  Oh, and is it normal to hurt like crazy after getting examined?  ouch

Ethan's stories

I was sitting on a yoga ball today, trying to get my back to stop hurting.  Ethan saw me and thought that looked like fun.  So he asked if he could "boing high" with me.  So I sat him on what little lap I have and bounced with him.  He got worried that we would "boing a begah" (to beyond) and get "owies head" from hitting the ceiling.  I reassured him that we wouldn't bounce that high.  He was satisfied with that and started bouncing again. 

35 weeks

35 weeks prego as of yesterday.  Still feeling huge, but now with more contractions.  We went to target yesterday and by the time we had almost finished shopping I could hardly walk.  I'm so ready for this baby to come!  No really, all baby clothes washed, crib set up, diapers and wipes bought, all I have left to do is pack my hospital bag and figure out what I'm going to do with Ethan while I'm in the hospital.

Huge

I'm trying so hard to be patient. I feel huge, and not just my belly but everywhere. My fingers are huge, my feet are huge. I feel like I'm carrying triplets, one in my tummy and one on each thigh. 6 more weeks. I can do it right? I think I'm going to go take a nap now.

Growing up and out

I'm so excited I could dance! After nearly 3 months of frustration, Ethan is finally potty trained! (Knock on wood!) He has gone 3 days and many nights in a row totally accident free! It's my absolute favorite when he announces that he needs to go. He says "I pee!" and we run to the potty. As nice as it is for me to not have to clean up accidents, I'm sure Ethan enjoys having clean, dry pants all the time.
In other news, I'm now 32 weeks pregnant and doing well. The baby is measuring perfectly, my blood pressure and blood sugar are great. I've only gained 45lbs (which considering I gained 100 with Ethan is really good).

Swimming

I took Ethan to the gym today to go swimming and to buy a membership. I really need a reason to get out of the house! I also signed us up for a parent/child swimming class starting on the 14th. Ethan LOVES swimming and if the pool was 10 degrees warmer I could stay in there all day. All those aches and pains of pregnancy go away when you are in the water. Plus my swimming suit still fits! (sort of) Anyway, even though it's super cold outside, we now have a way to get out and have fun.
