I drove into work this morning surrounded by a thick heavy Kansas fog.
That's how I feel lately.
Overwhelmed. Stressed. Consumed.
Are we ready? Do we have everything?
Have we prepared ourselves to bring a baby into this world?
The list is never ending and my moods are all over the place.
Brian is exhausted with my honey-dos.
Why can't I shut my mind off at night? I need sleep.
I don't want to think about gliders, going into labor or whether to use a bassinet.
Big changes to come. Only 8 more weeks.
What will we name him? We pretty much already know.
Will he look like mom or dad?
Will I know what do when he cries?
He will be loved. And the light of our world.
My outlook on life has already started to change.
I have a baby growing inside of me. A true miracle.
We are anxious for his arrival. And ready for our lives to change.
32 Week Update: Check out that bump!
How far along: Just a day shy of 32 weeks
Size of Baby K: Still think this is off, but I'll stick with Baby Center's updates: 3.75 pounds and 16.7 inches long.
Fruit/vegetable comparison (according to Baby Center): Weighs as much as a jicama.
Total weight gain: Who knows, I wish I would never have included this question!
Sleep: Bad back pain, getting up a lot, trying to get comfortable and shut my mind off...
Movement: Still very active and pushing on my bladder!
Unglamorous body changes: I feel huge and couldn't stop waddling if I tried. It's getting harder to breathe.
Food cravings: Nothing particular as of lately.
What I miss: Goat cheese! I had to order my favorite sandwich from Farmhouse in the River Market without it last week. If you haven't tried the Fried Green Tomato sandwich from here, you should!
Strange experiences: Still getting sick occasionally aka vomiting. I think the prenatal vitamins are the culprit.
Milestones: He will gain a third to half his weight during the next 7 weeks.
Best moment this week: Getting closer to finishing the nursery. Still have a few small touches left. I can see the light...
We start our childbirth classes this week! Pray that I don't run out of the room scared out of my mind.

Krista - You're seriously the cuteness pregnant lady! Can't believe you're at 32 weeks...baby K will be here soon!
Krista... YOU WILL BE FINE!!!! STOP worrying!!! I haven't a single mommy (and I know ALOT) that didn't know what to do when their baby came. Your intuitions will take over and I PROMISE it just comes natural. And the BEST part is having an amazing partner to figure everything out with. Mike and I immediately became a stronger/closer couple those first few weeks with Aiden. Your a TEAM and together you will figure it all out, promise. Its truly the most amazing time of your life. Im here if you need anything!!!!
