Week 32, 8 weeks to go!

So we are down to 8 weeks. If you all remember (my few and faithful) I'll be having a cesarean around week 39, so really I've only got 7 weeks.

7 weeks! Yay!
This week, I noticed:
a bruise on my backbone that wont seem to go away.
colostrum
nasal stuffiness
a bit more energy (thanks for your prayers)
beginning of the nesting instinct (I got all the laundry done yesterday AND sorted out the kids clothes AND organized Sofia's hospital bag!)

Overall, I'm feeling more like myself this week. My confidence as a mom is returning, and I'm making supper again. That's most likely due to Ronnie's low check last week, but hey, whatever motivates, right? I don't feel out of control like I did a few weeks back. The kids are leaving on vacation Friday night, and I get a whole week to myself (part of the reason I did all the laundry).

At my appointment yesterday, I learned I had gained 7 pounds. In TWO WEEKS!
Yikes!
But, my dr is thrilled. "That's a total of 12 pounds!" She said with a chipper grin.
I don't like to gain weight, and if I could sustain this pregnancy without gaining a pound, I'd do it!
