Tick tock, little one

This will be a quick update, because I really need to put my feet up...as I sit at the computer, my right foot is threatening to cramp up at any moment!

I'm now halfway through the 35th week, which means I'm one day closer to being full term. This point of pregnancy really sucks, because you're huge and uncomfortable and want this kid OUT, but also want her to be fully baked and not have any issues after birth. Also we're SO not ready for her yet!

The construction in her room is 98% done and it's going to be amazing once we finally get some things in there. Both of our families threw or are throwing showers for their knocked up children, which is wonderful! The things on our list are much more specific this time around, since we have most of the important stuff already. And we know what we need/want for the do-over. If there's one advantage to having a second kid, that is it - experience!

I started having actual contractions last week, which is so much fun...I didn't have any with Harlowe until my water broke, so this has been a real treat. Nothing to get too excited about, and my doctor will check out the, uh, internal progress next week. Until then, my body will just keep practicing!

For comparison, here I am in my usual bathroom and PJ pic with Avery, and the classier backyard shot at 35w5d with Harlowe. Um, yikes. Avery is a big freakin' bowling ball.
