32 Weeks...and counting

Baby Girl's arrival is quickly approaching.  I am certainly ready to get rid of this big belly and hold that sweet baby girl in my arms, but at the same time feel like the day is coming soooo fast - there's still so much I'd like to get done before I return to the zombie-like trance that the first few months with a newborn brings.

The baby continues to measure right on track and everything looks good at my doctor appointments.  I went through what I've decided could only be "Third Trimester Morning Sickness" during the month of February, but am feeling A LOT better the past few weeks.  (Girl Scout cookies are "helping" make up the difference for the weight I lost during that time!)  Thankfully, it happened while my parents were here, so I had plenty of extra help while I was feeling less than 100%!

As far as preparing for the baby goes, we are making progress slowly but surely.  We've been transitioning Josh and Brielle toward sharing a room, so that we can use the third bedroom as a nursery.  All of their clothes is in one room, I've been working on some decorating, and they sleep together most nights.  Brielle's toys are still in the nursery and we are still calling it "Sissy's room", so we'll have to work on those things, as well as, get all the tiny baby stuff down from the attic, put back together, washed, and ready to go.  I do have a big box of newborn diapers and a coming home outfit ready to go, so I figure the necessities are covered and we're ready when she is...except for a name...the name is still under discussion and probably will be until after Baby Girl is born...settling on girls' names is hard for us...
