33 weeks

Took this picture last week-at 32 weeks

Kent and I were going to bed last week when it suddenly dawned on me:
While I'm certainly not going to be going into labor this early,
if it did happen, we could safely have a baby girl in only two weeks.

That is crazy, people.  Where oh where have the past 8 months gone?

As of right now, I'm doing pretty good.  

After coming home from Utah last month I was quite uncomfortable for a week or two--kind of felt like someone was tearing me apart at the hips.  Couldn't walk, sit, put on my clothes, etc.  At one point I was really starting to think that something was seriously wrong, but my midwives told me it was all very normal for a second pregnancy.
(What is the third and fourth time around going to be like??)

But, the pain has eased up a lot since then. And I am SO grateful for that. 
I still feel sore and tired and sort of like my bones are going to fall in a heap on the floor sometimes (an unusual sensation that I certainly did not have last time I was pregnant),
but really, 
I'm just glad to be back to being able to get off the couch and take care of my house and my family, even if I am a bit slower than I used to be.

Beyond all of that, though,
I really am doing good.
I'm usually tired enough by the end of the day that I can fall asleep before the restless legs start up,
and I sleep quite soundly in between the bathroom trips, according to Kent.  
(I guess being pregnant makes me snore louder...)

I'm ravenously hungry, and always thirsty.  
Last week I made brownies to give to the girls I visit teach, but then we shared some with the missionaries, and then,
I kind of ate the rest of them,
even the ones on the edges of the pan that had gotten all stale. Gross, I know.
I've been craving chocolate, all the time.

Nearly everything is ready for the baby now; her room is coming together, we have all the blankets and soft pink things that we need, and I've been arranging all the little baby things that little babies need.

The only thing we don't have is a name.
 We have a list, but we're pretty much stumped.  None of the names on our list are standing out to us enough for us to choose them,
so we're still searching.
Any ideas for us?
 
The weather is cooling off (a bit), the weeks are passing quickly, and every time I see the Halloween decorations in the stores it feels like November 5th is going to be here before we know it!
