34 weeks

I am 34 weeks pregnant now. That means I only have 6 weeks to go!!! This pregnancy has definitely passed a lot faster than my other two. In fact I have been feeling a little panicked / unprepared to have a baby in a month! I keep thinking I have plenty of time, and suddenly it's right around the corner. I was afraid this baby would be nameless for a while after he was born, but Neal and I FINALLY agreed on a name. Now we just have to agree on the spelling.

I am so excited to have a homebirth. I love my midwife, and I feel more and more confident every day. My birth pool arrived in the mail this week, I sorted through all our little boy clothes and set aside the newborn things. All I have to do is pick up some newborn diapers and sew up the edges of a couple swaddle blankets. Other than that, I've just been working on packing up our house for the big move after baby is born. 

Below is a picture of 2 of my sisters and I. We have all been pregnant together, all with boys. Jessica is due at the end of this month, but according to her track record, she'll probably have the baby in early May. I am due next, June 1st, and Rachel is due last in early-mid July. We did not get pregnant at the same time on purpose at all, so it was a huge coincidence! We are excited to have our little boys so close in age, and hope they'll be good friends.

Rachel, Me, Jessica. I think this was in 2004.

My baby belly: 32 weeks

I am feeling pretty good. I'm starting to feel more tired, like I was in the beginning. Luckily, Leland and Caius still take an afternoon nap at the same time, so if I need to, and if I have time, I nap while they nap. Unfortunately, my SPD ( symphysis pubis dysfunction) DID come back. It is worse than with Leland, but I know how to manage it this time around. Other than that, everything is normal!
