Week 32 Bump

At 32 weeks, BeeBee is growing bigger... and so am I! I'm beginning to feel her kick increasingly more under or near my rib cage. It's also beginning to prove hard to sit straight because of the size of my bump. The reality of labor is starting to dawn on me, too, now that it's only 8 weeks or so away... a bit scary.

But putting those things aside, BeeBee and I are doing well. I went to see the GP (doctor) on Tuesday for a general checkup, and all is well. We couldn't hear her heart beating too loudly, but we think this is because her back was turned to the outside. She continues to move around loads, especially during sermons at church... really, I think it's because I've just stood to sing a hymn... but we'll tell our pastor it's because she's loving his sermons.

BeeBee was especially excited to find out that her Grandma (my mom) is coming to visit a week on Tuesday. On Thursday morning, while getting ready, I thought it would be really nice to have my mom here, instead of having to wait until mid-March, the day before my due date, for her to arrive. Out of curiosity, I looked up flights and found a reasonably priced ticket with Continental. I called her just after 8:00am her time to ask whether she wanted to come in just a week and a half, just to be together and talk about baby things, no real agenda. So after talking it over with Norm, she booked a ticket to come over! Yay! I really wish it were this week, but I guess I'll just have to be patient (not one of my stronger virtues).
