Hey guys! I officially hit my 32nd week of pregnancy tomorrow. So this is a picture of Vaiosina and I this past weekend. My friends say it looks as if Vaiosina has dropped and now they're convinced that I'm going to have her early. I wouldn't believe it so much if the people telling me this didn't have 2 or more children! Even my boss told me, just before he left today, that I look big for a lady at 7 1/2 months pregnant. How cool would it be if she came early? Anyway, today I had a follow-up doctor's appointment and I'd asked the nurse/midwife if she thought I looked like I was going to pop early or if I appeared to have dropped. And she said, "nope, you're right where you need to be!" And that's good to hear too. The baby's heartbeat was as strong as ever and all is well. And since I started going to this hospital, I've gained a total of 14 pounds. Not too bad, eh? Well, if I mentioned my total weight I think I might scare people off...so I won't do that.
Other things to note about my pregnancy thus far: the baby is as active as ever! She's moving around like crazy, even at the wee hours of the morning, which doesn't make it easy for me to wake up for work! And sleeping...is as uncomfortable as ever. I get numb all the time and have to switch from side to side. I sure miss sleeping on my back and on my stomach. Up to now, I'm surprised that I haven't had any weird food cravings, like watermelons with peanut butter on it (yes, someone told me they've had this craving), but I am eating up the sweets like crazy (yes, still!). And remember how I mentioned those stretch marks last time? I've been using Palmer's stretch marks lotion as well as baby oil and they seem to be getting lighter! So definitely recommend to the other mommies or expectant mommies out there!
Another appointment in 4 weeks. I can't believe we have less than 60 days left! Yay!

You look absolutely gorgeous! Hang in there...you're doing great!
Aww, you look so cute! Ok, I have to ask, what is the meaning of the baby's name? I love it.
Oh my gosh, those 60 days are going to go by super fast!!!!
And I remember the numbing too!! It was always my hands!!!
Oh you look great!!!
You should be able to tell when she drops because you will be able to breathe A LOT easier. I don't know if you're at the point where you feel out of breath a lot but when she drops, that will stop. I remember what a relief it was when Calvin finally dropped and I felt like I could actually breathe again.
Sleeping is just starting to get a teensy bit uncomfortable for me, I get hot so easy and rolling over is becoming a chore.
Hang in there! You look wonderful!
And I never responded to your question, Stuttgart and Grafenwohr are about two and a half hours away from each other. When are you coming to Germany?
You look so cute and I love that dress! Eeeeww to the watermelons and peanut butter. How about just peanut butter straight from the jar? Yum!
You look fabulous!
You are so cute! I can't believe the baby will be here so soon!
