some thoughts at 32 weeks

{yes}

It's been pretty hard to blog lately. Mainly because I am so busy and partly because whenever I have something to blog about its pregnancy or baby related, I take a pause and don't post it. I see people make excuses all the time when they get engaged or pregnant, "don't worry! this won't become a ____ blog!" And isn't that funny, because they are our blogs after all. But here's the thing, with 8ish weeks left to go until my life undergoes the hugest transformation yet, that is all that's on my mind! Truth. From walking around in this body that feels beaten up, to researching sleep sacks online, to taking childbirth classes after work, to decorating a nursery, it's pretty much all-consuming. Here are some other things going on in Holly's head:

-I never feel like I got that pregnancy shiny, beautiful, thick hair. But there have been some changes! I don't shed for one. After showering and brushing my hair only 1-2 hairs come out. The floor mats in my car are not covered in hair anymore. Also, I used to have to wash my hair everyday-very greasy hair that doesn't even get refreshed with dry shampoo. Now that isn't the case, it doesn't get greasy as fast. Odd. 

-Everything I read about 32 weeks says there is less room for the baby so be prepared to not feel the baby move as much. Not the case. He is moving more than ever! So active, this little one. Does that mean he won't nap or be crazy active out of the womb? Who knows. 

-We have a first name picked out. BUT! We haven't told anyone yet because we are still deciding on the middle name. We will reveal once the whole thing is settled on. 

-Our fourth and final 'low intervention' childbirth class is on Monday. Do you think I will feel prepared fully after that class? No. I might want to try Hypnobirthing or go to a Bradley class in addition. 

-My nails grow so fast. SO FAST. Guys, it's crazy really. Pedicures don't last as long anymore because they grow out so quickly and need to be cut. For my fingernails its super cool since I normally would bite my nails the second they got long but now it's not enticing me being they all are long and healthy, constantly! Boring. :)

-I have wanted to be a mother since as long as I can remember. I cannot wait to hold this little baby. Jon thinks he will come next month, but I think he might hold out until October. We shall see.
