8 months pregnant already?

Today I am 32 weeks pregnant. Wow! That's officially 8 months! 8 more weeks to go and we'll get to meet our baby boy! I washed a bunch of the clothes this weekend that we got at our first baby shower and it made me very excited to think about our little baby wearing all of those cute things. I definitely want him to wait quite a bit longer before deciding to join us out here (I'd like to go full term), but I'm so excited to hold him now!

The nursery is essentially complete. MrKLB has been helping me make the final touches (we hung up some shelves this weekend and did a few other things) and all that is left is to hang up our baby's name above his crib. We bought the letters this weekend but are waiting to hang them up since we haven't revealed the name to anyone yet.

I have another baby shower this weekend, so that should be fun. This one is being hosted by my 3 girl cousins (out of 14 cousins only 4 of us are girls and we were pretty close growing up) and a lot of my family will be there. MrKLB's parents are coming to visit us this weekend and his mother will be going to the shower with me. I'm excited to see everyone because we don't get together often enough. Most of them haven't even seen me since I've been pregnant. Oh, and one of my cousins who is hosting just got engaged yesterday so I'm super excited to see her and congratulate her in person!!

I'd say for being 32 weeks pregnant I am feeling really great. So far I am still able to run (jog) and had a nice run yesterday. I am definitely getting winded easier, but as long as I control my breathing it's not too bad. I haven't been having much swelling so far and am sleeping pretty well. I do look forward to the day I can lay on my back again or even roll over onto my stomach, though. :)

I am trying to enjoy every week of this pregnancy because I know it's a blessing and I'll only be pregnant for a very small part of my life. It truly is amazing. I'm so looking forward to meeting our son, but I know that my life will forever be changed once he arrives. It's a lot easier to take him places with me now than it will be once he's out! Anyway, he is still moving around quite a bit. The movements have gotten pretty powerful and I frequently can actually see my stomach moving and contorting around when he's in there doing whatever it is he does. It's good to know he's still doing well, though, so I don't mind.

That's pretty much the update for now. Now I'm counting down to 36 weeks so I can be considered "full-term"!
