Starting my 8th month!
I am 32 weeks pregnant and can't believe it. This pregnancy has flown by compared to the first one. Because of the c-section, that means Madeline will probably be here in about 6 weeks-crazy! I am definitely feeling pregnant now with the 95 degree weather we have been having. I just love my huge sweaty thighs right now when I go outside! I try to keep it very cool inside and wear the least amount of clothes as possible. I know my neighbors think I never look decent- most days I spend half of the day in my pjs! It's getting harder to make myself go to the gym and walk because my lower back has been hurting and I seem to have Braxton Hicks contractions as soon as I do anything. They have been pretty often and pretty annoying! I never understood why everyone tells you to get all the rest you can before the baby comes- how the heck am I suppose to sleep with 4 pillows around me, having to get up and pee twice in the night, waking up to baby's hiccups and kicks in my belly, and every time I change sides (which is about every hour) I pretty much wake up as I roll myself to the other side and feel the aches and pains of my back and thighs...then Erin comes in my room at 6am and turns on my light to play me her kitty piano. Oh, it's just beginning! Anyways, Andrew informed me that he is ready for Mady to get here so we can hold her and play with her. I just get more nervous and scared thinking of how I'm going to be a great mom to her and Erin and give them both what they need on little to no sleep. I know Erin will be a great sister and she continues to tell every stranger that she is going to have a baby sister, but I'm worried of how she will adjust at first. It's been me and her, my little buddy, for 3 years every minute of every day- we have our little routines, we get ready and run errands when we want to, do our own thing- now it will be a hard adjustment to that at first. I am getting excited though.

yay! but you can't post a 32 week update without a picture!
aww I am SOOOO happy for you (minus the pain and not being able to rest parts obviously)! I can't believe she's almost here. You're going to do great and having two will just be a different and new adventure!
