33 weeks

I hate being sick!!! Neil and I got the flu bug I think. He got it first and then me. Luckily some of it hit over the weekend so we stayed in bed and did nothing. Now I need to work on disinfecting the house. I have done some but really need to do a deep cleaning but the lack of energy makes all chores exhausting. We missed the Labor and Delivery tour as it was Sunday and neither of us was in any shape to go. It did take some convincing from Neil for me to make the decision not to go. I was going to tough it out but glad I didn't now. Our first childbirth class is this coming Monday and parenting class is Tuesday. Then Wednesday is the appt to get our taxes done and his grandma is having surgery to have part of her thyroid removed. I usually do our taxes but with selling and buying houses this year I was afraid I'd screw something up. Hope to go back to doing it myself next year.

Baby Kaitlyn is doing great. She loves to squirm! Moving as I type in fact. I feel so bad everytime I cough or sneeze wondering what it feels like to her. My lower abdomen is sooo sore from all the coughing. Sleep is priceless right now and would love to get more than an hour or so at one time. I feel her a lot at night but I don't know if she has always moved or if its just that I am awake. Seems to range between 1-5 every morning. Can't make any more progress on her room or stuff till after the shower to in a holding pattern for now. No bump pic yet but maybe later this week.

Your Baby: Month 8



Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month
