32 weeks

It is so hard to believe I'm this far along in the pregnancy, and that we're within 2 months of holding our little boy! This has been a busy week already, with vision screenings for both kids, a follow-up eye check-up for Isaac who now has glasses ordered for his far-sightedness. Today I had my regular annual eye appointment. I was actually not supposed to go until January, but since I was down to my last pair of contacts and knew that it would be hard to go with a newborn, we bumped up the appointment. Everything was fine, and I'm glad to have that out of the way. We are done with doctors for the week hopefully.

My sweet best friend from high school, Julie, had her 3rd baby yesterday. Her name is Corlee and I can't wait to meet her face-to-face. She joins sister Christa and brother Canaan, and I'm sure they are all enjoying getting to know their little sister! Julie and I were so excited to go through our pregnancies together this time, since we haven't had the opportunity before. It was really special to be able to share maternity clothes, and discuss all the crazy changes we both were going through physically and emotionally, in preparation for these new little ones.

Elijah is still very active, and seems to be pressing on something giving me a good ol' case of sciatica. My left foot stays swollen all the time, and I'm struggling some with fatigue, from the lack of sleep due to my sore back/hip. This past week I've spent any moments free trying to organize his baby clothes, and make room for his things in Isaac's room. It's a little overwhelming trying to fit it all in there, but it's going to work I think. It's so sweet to handle those little outfits and choose my favorites to take to the hospital. I have packed his bag already, so will work on mine next week. Then, we'll just be waiting for the big day!!
