All Things Baby! 32/33 weeks

32 Weeks!

 We've made it to 32 weeks! Well actually today I'm 33 weeks but this picture was taken last week. Pregnancy is still going pretty good. Although I will say this is probably my very very least fav of the 3.  I'm OK baby wise. While I am getting into the suuuuper tired phase of 3rd trimester I'm not too uncomfortable yet, can still breathe, still sleeping sort of ok, but it's these dang varicose vein things that I'm not too happy with. uggg! I was diagnosed with varicose veins pretty much everywhere from the waist down.

 (possible TMI. it depends on your TMI tolerance. You've been warned!)I have them pretty bad on my legs, mostly my right (pretty picture huh?) but the worst part is I have one in my right round ligament (the ligaments that hold up the baby belly) which makes it SOOOO hard to walk because it makes for a giant painful lump right where my leg meets my body. At first by the look of it my doc thought I might have a hernia. yay! But then she said it didn't feel like one and with my legs it seemed like the best diagnosis. I also have general vulvar varicose veins (umm...that means everywhere "down there") Honestly, maybe it's because I'm hyped up on pain meds during recovery, but it hurts worse than getting over HAVING a baby. every day. for the last month and a half (and for the next month and a half) and I have a pretty darn high pain tolerance too! Poor C doesn't understand. He just wants me to play with him and run around like I used to but all I can really do is sit. Running is not even close to an option. So cross your fingers for me that they release me form my nursery calling sometime soon (yes I have talked to them, like over a month ago) I totally get that they are  busy and have a million callings to worry about because our primary is HUGE, but this combined with my giant tiredness=I don't really want to go to church to babysit anymore. Plus I'm pretty useless there anyway since I can't move. Ok end of my complaining. I know there are way worse things that you can have during pregnancy. But this is the worst I personally have had. And it makes me really ready to be DONE. Plus I'm getting excited to meet his little dude!

But in other happier baby news, I had a follow up ultrasound from our crazy 20 week ultrasound. "What crazy ultrasound?" you ask. If you missed it you can catch up here. Everything looked GREAT. His cyst in his brain has disappeared, his kidney is still slightly enlarged. (It's down to 1cm (I think that's the measurement unit....) and they like it to be down to .8 or something by now so they'll just do an ultrasound on him a few days after he's born to see what's going on. And his umbilical cord is not hindering blood flow or growth. He was measuring about 10 days behind but with my last 2 pregnancies I was ALWAYS like 2 weeks behind. because we are small. and I don't make giant amazon babies. so nobody is worried and he's still in the 20%ile.

And last but not least we bought a MINIVAN! It's a 2005 ford Freestar if that means anything to you and we found it on KSL. Conner was really worried that we were getting a "Mini"van because we aren't mini people (little does he know! haha!) but then he saw how big it is and got WAY excited. The kids played in it for like 45 min when we brought it home. I haven't driven it a ton since it's not even registered to us and insured yet it's so new but I'm sure I'll love it. I hear that once you go van you won't go back with kids. Glad I'm not too cool to drive one of these because if something can make my life easier I'm all over it!

and that's all!
