Five weeks and counting

Well, with only 5 weeks left, I guess it's time for another update!  (Yes, I said FIVE!  Wowza!)
  • I am feeling pretty good these days, just really tired.  I am able to work shorter shifts because I saved up enough vacation days, so that has been awesome!  I try to sit at least for a little while (on a very uncomfortable stool), but my back and feet still hurt, so that is why this is such a blessing :)
  • Ella has officially met my ribcage.  The doctor thinks she is head down (which is what I suspected as well), and she loves to kick my ribs.  Guess she's just looking for more room, eh?
  • Last week (at 34 weeks) I measured at 32.  The doctor didn't seem too concerned.  She said she thinks I am going to have a smaller baby and that it could have to do with the fact that I am smaller as well.  She also said it could just be the position she is in.  Since my blood pressure is fine, I have no swelling, and I am still gaining weight, she is not concerned at this time.
  • Total weight gain so far:  19 lbs
  • Still my favorite part:  feeling Ella move.  Her hiccups keep me entertained as well :)

As for the nursery, it is almost done.  Just have to hang the curtain rod/window valence, and a shelf.  My dad is going to do that when he gets here because Chris is the "not-so-handy-man".  Haha  (It's okay... he knows it)!
 I can't wait to meet my little sweet pea!
