Week 31 and 32

So is anyone else watching the countdown? AH! Time has just been flying by. It feels like just yesterday that I had the cute little bump. Now I've got.... THE BELLY! Ben and I went to breakfast at Denny's this morning and a lady told me, "You look like you are about done!" I told her I have till October... so I don't know if its a good thing to look like I'm at the end, when really I'm not quite there.... oh well! I am definitely full of baby!

Week 31:
This week was calm and quiet. Not much new. I had a baby shower this weekend at Grandma Sandra's house and it was a lot of fun! Aunt Ginny and Janae came. We played a few silly games and ate the most delicious cake! Also the cutest cake I've ever seen!

The cute baby shower cake!

I was so happy because I now have a Pack and Play. Jacob will be sleeping in it for the first few months, till we have a house and we have room for a crib. So, thanks to Momma Shauna and everyone who came to the shower!
Jacob weighs as much as four oranges! 3.3 lbs, 16 inches.

Week 32:
This week has been fun! I went and bought a pair of walking shoes so I could go walking in the morning. Ben and I are staying at his dad's house in California till September 5th, and they have a beautiful neighborhood. I've been walking everyday! Go me! I know that I will need as much exercise as possible. I also went swimming with Ben. That was interesting. I'm not a very good swimmer, but it felt good to be in the water. This week I also had my first pregnancy massage. Kristy has a lady come over to the house and I decided to get a massage too. It felt really good, except for the massage in the lower back. I guess those are the muscles that stress the most because my hips are widening. I'm still a little sore, but it was a fun experience. Too bad my muscles go right back to being sore. :)

Jacob weighs about as much as a jicama, 3.75 lbs. 16.7 inches long.

How I'm Feeling:
Well, this past week I have just felt like there is so much to do, and so little time! Ben and I haven't taken a birthing class yet because our stay in California has caused some scheduling conflicts with the hospital birthing classes in Rexburg. We will still try and fit one in. I also got a copy of What to Expect in the First Year, and I've started reading the first few chapters that talk about what to buy for baby, and everything you need to know about breast feeding, etc. I still have a lot of reading to do, but its helping me feel more prepared. I'm just a nervous and excited wreck! I'm so happy to have Ben because he helps calm me down when I start to get too anxious and antsy. I can't wait to get home so I can get everything ready at home. I want to put some meals in the freezer so I can spend time with Jacob when he comes. If anyone has any freezer meal ideas, send them my way. I'm always looking for good recipes!
