The past two weeks

The past two weeks have been pretty uneventful.  Spent some time shopping of course for baby stuff, and worked more on Collin's room. I also decided to take on the adventure of re-painting our master bathroom. I worked one day. Josh came in after work and worked on it for a while. Then my cousin Mark came and worked on it for 4 hours. Then the next day my dad came and did some of the finishing touches. Funny how many people does it take to paint a bathroom. ha ha ha ha.

Some things that have been going on with Collin. I have taken a couple of videos of my tummy, it is insane the amount of punches and kicks you can see.  It may sound silly but most nights before we go to bed we just stare at my tummy that looks like there is a roller coaster in there. Some new things that are going on with me is I have started to drool. (I know that may sound gross) but I normally don't do that, but I have to sleep on my back and all the pillows in the bed to prop me up. I cannot wait to sleep normal again. Plus my feet and hands are swollen. Most of my flip flops don't fit. I am down to three pair that I just rotate. And last but not least the part that hurts are my fingers. They are so tight that I can barely make fists and they are sore. This doesn't hurt but is weird, Collin cannot stand it when I try to lay on my side, either one. He starts kicking and punching like crazy. I kept thinking I was hurting him but the doctor said no.

Today was my 31 week appointment. Very short appointment. His heartbeat was about 150 again and I only gained 2 lbs. So one pound a week. Not bad. I asked her about him kicking me when I laid on my side, she said not to worry that I cannot hurt him. It is more like he is just frustrated or mad that I am making his space smaller so he kicks. That is good news that I am not hurting him, but on the other hand I am stuck sleeping on my back. He still has not turned yet. We talked about it again, that he has till 36 weeks and she may try to turn him. This also means still the possibility of a c-section. Next baby appointment is Monday, Aug 15th. I am starting to get a little anxious. This past week, time seemed to go by slower. Josh and I also finished our 4 classes at the hospital for the birthing classes. We both thought they were great. I am so happy we went. On August 17th they also have a breastfeeding class, that is just for me.

My family is throwing me a baby shower on Aug 13th. Can't wait getting excited. Here are some more pictures of the baby room. The first photo is of a football toy box. My dad found this at work. Someone threw it away in the dumpster. It was brand new and everything. How could someone just throw away a brand new football toy box. CRAZY!
