33 1/2 weeks

I was laying in bed Monday night in disbelief to how close Riley's birth really is. I'm absolutely miserable and hate being pregnant (minus when he moves...that part is amazing). I can't breathe, can't sleep, I'm hormornal (thought that went away after the first few months but its back), and can never get comfortable. I wish I could see my toes and move around in bed without something hurting and bend over. I can bend over but it takes a lot of effort and can't breathe. Tony was awesome and trimmed and painted my toenails which was a miracle. Tony works as an ER nurse so he's exposed to a lot of gross stuff. He can handle being pooped, peed on, and doesn't mind blood but he HATES feet. Feet are his downfall. He doesn't' even like my feet which are small and I like to think are cute. That's true love right there. And I think I've started the nesting phase. I have the strongest urge to scrub our grout. If you've seen my house or pictures of it there is A LOT of tile and would take forever and a day. But I keep staring at the grout thinking that it needs to be cleaned. I haven't actually done it yet but I know its going to bother me until I do something. I am splurging and having a maid service come in to clean right before Riley is born. Its nice because in Arizona you can find great deals on housecleaners and they clean everything.

My department at work threw me a very nice baby shower. I felt so spoiled by everything Riley got (including our stroller/carseat travel system). I keep telling Riley that hes already spoiled and not even born yet. A friend of mine is throwing me a baby shower on Oct 5th so friends and family can come. Its so nice to feel all the support and love we have received over the last few months with Riley. We are so excited and so blessed to all of our friends and family.

Tony and I headed over to see his older brother in San Diego in 2 weeks and we are very excited. I realized this will be our last vacation until Riley is born and weird to think whenever we travel, we will have another person with us. I'm looking forward to our trip and will definitely take some pics. I know I haven't taken any belly pics in a while but I'll try and get some on here soon.

I had my 2 week check up today. Nothing new to report. Riley sounded good and I am healthy as a horse. I was a little concerned because I actually lost a 1/2 pound....and no I did not do this on purpose. In fact, I'm' feeding Riley quite well. This kid is going to come out speaking Spanish with has much mexican food I have been eating. And I'm having a thing with stouffers mac and cheese. My Dr. assured me that this is nothing to be alarmed about so I'm' not going to worry for now.
