33 weeks 3 days

Things have been coming along- we got started on Tatum's room... well actually the contractor did... I finished her blanket (finally!), finished the letters for her name, and am working on the scrapbook now that the blanket is done.

Next week I have my appointment, PEP visit (where you get some paperwork done at the hospital and also get a little bit of a tour), and the baby sprinkle. I just can't believe how fast this whole thing is going. Ashley keeps saying how this has to be the fastest pregnancy in history & I must agree. It's like I blinked & I'm 33 weeks.

Things are SO different this time around- in some ways it's good, in others it's bad. Like I was never kicked (or whatever it is because of her position) in the cervix which hurts like a m-fer. I was never this uncomfortable my entire pregnancy with Delilah as I am now- sure I had some hip pain at night when pregnant with Delilah & trying to sleep but this is just all around discomfort. My stomach will just hurt- like muscle hurt- and my hip will hurt just laying on the couch. It hurts to walk up more than one flight of steps & I get so out of breath. I get pain when I stand up to walk down in my pubic area. The good is that I feel her so much more than I did with Delilah. Delilah didn't move a lot- not even when I'd lay down on my left side, drink something cold, or eat something sweet. After I'd poke or prod her she would but I'd worry constantly. Tatum just moves so much more & I'm constantly comforted by it.

But complaining aside I know I am very lucky to have been blessed not just once but twice- alot of women on the site I belong to have had or are having such a hard time getting pregnant.
