32 weeks

It is absolutely crazy to think that I am now 8 months pregnant! In less then 10 weeks, our little guy will be out of my belly and into the world. My anxieties over being a parent have gone way down in the past week or so and have now been channeled into excitment. Tomorrow I have my first baby shower, which is strange because it feels like I just had a wedding shower at the same place a few months ago. Oh how the time flies...
The last couple days havent been great for me pain wise and I have had to give in to using tylonal to keep myself functioning. Its something I dont like doing but have come to terms with (my Dr. assures me its fine) I did however, have the best sleep in weeks last night! Believe me, this is a big deal. Since my sciatic pain started about 5 weeks back I am usually awake on average 5 times a night. Last night I only woke up twice! What a good mood that put me in! I may not even need a nap today.

Baby Noah seems to be getting pretty cramped at this point. I no longer feel kicks very often, but more so get elbows, knees and what Im assuming are arms pushing and jabbing outward trying to create more space. His feet are pretty permanently settled in my right rib too which is just lovely. Cant complain though, because he has yet to take awake my air supply!

We had a friend of ours take some maternity pictures for us last weekend which we are very excited about! From what weve seen so far she has done a fantastic job and we cant wait to see the rest of the photos. Heres a little sneak peak.
