29/30 Weeks and crib bedding complete!

Time is flying by but my body is telling me that I have officially hit the stage of being "uncomfortable".  Sitting up right in the car for long periods of time is like torture!  I will admit, I do like being in the third tri during the winter.  I can pile on the layers and wear boots and leggings and I am good to go!

The kids are getting very excited.  We talked about how life is going to change tonight at dinner and it all started to set in...the late night/early morning feedings.  The constant listening for cries and being at this little persons beck and call for the next 18 months (at least!).  Audrey is ready for the challenge.  Anderson is curious more than anything else.  Sure he is around younger kids and babies at the sitters but I doubt he realizes this baby we talk about so much belongs to us!

I finished the crib bedding and have to admit...for once I am very pleased with the outcome of my sewing project!  I took my time making everything but it only took maybe 3 weekends total from start to finish.  I spent at least the last 2 months looking at fabric and different ideas for constructing the bedding.  I determined that crib bumpers were a complete waste (not to mention a hazard) so I opted to do rail guards instead.  I guess at the end of the day, this crib is going to the curb due to the drop rail (which we rigged so it no longer drops and is "safe") so it really doesn't matter what the rails look like after this kid.  I still have the curtains and wall art to do as well as fishing out all things pink and white for sleepers and onsies.  I am going to leave the retrieval, construction, and cleaning of all baby gear to Ben :).

Baby girl is moving all around.  She is nicely positioned right under my ribs and feels like a ball that just wants to throw jabs and kicks to the front vs. the sides.  It is the weirdest feeling but something tells me she is having a good ole time in there!

My aches and pains are surprisingly different with this baby than with Audrey or Anderson.  I am able to still run with minimal breaks and don't seem to have swelling in too many places (yet!).  The heart burn is unbelievable!  Sure I've had it before but not to the point where I want to puke!  It took me a few days to recover from my chili I made on Sunday.  I could have sworn I was coming down with the flu!  Ugh!!  So...no more hot stuff.  and no more onions!
