32 weeks!

Wrapping up a few loose ends at work and my word, I cannot WAIT to be done. I realize there may be a time in my life where I look back and miss my office days, but today is not that day!

This little guy (who is apparently starting to look pink and cute, according to my app) is kicking up a storm. I really hope he stays put until the cesarean - I can't have any surprises at this point! He seems quite healthy and active, and I really can't wait to meet him. There's the tiniest part of me that still feels nervous about something going wrong, but I'm doing my best to ignore that.

I'm getting a little worried about the baby shower - will people show? Will they have a nice time? Will we get all the things on our registry that we need? I know that in the end, all will be well, but worrying is in my nature.

Jared has booked off his time, and he's taking a whopping month off when baby arrives, which is so fantastic and not at all what we had last time. With Morgan he was back at work the next day and I was home with baby, trying to figure out this whole parenting thing. So glad we have each other to lean on now!

Weddings Rings On or Off: On. but... yeah I'm pretty swollen and my right hand ring feels a little stuck!
