32 Weeks

Mom and baby @ 32 weeks -- I've gained about 23 pounds. I'm still pretty mobile but really can't wear heels for longer than an hour or so and by the end of the day my feet and legs hurt no matter what kind of shoes I'm wearing since I'm on my feet all day and still coaching volleyball as well. Lucas and I have had a tour of INOVA Fairfax hospital and taken all three prenatal classes at Kaiser. I'm headed to a breastfeeding class this Saturday morning for a few hours. In October we will spend two days at Lamaze/Childbirth classes... it's getting close to go time!



Last Saturday, Claudia Peacock threw a beautiful shower for me. Lucas and I got some wonderful gifts from our wonderful and generous friends. We've set up the co-sleeper (baby's bed for the first few months) that Deirdre and Elisa gave us:


That's Lucas's baby blanket hanging on the side. The co-sleeper is the perfect size for our bedroom/nursery. It will last him longer than a bassinet but we'll have to switch to a crib when we move into our townhouse next summer. It holds up to 20 pounds or when baby starts to be able to pull himself up. We have ordered the changing table/drawer piece, it should be arriving Monday. Once we put that together, we can start putting his clothes, blankets, and diapers away.
