7 weeks!

I am 33 weeks. 7 weeks till baby's due date. Baby could come, safely, as early as 5 weeks and as late as 9-10 weeks. Let's hope for my sanity, and John's and Olivia's that it's between 5 and 7 weeks. 😉

By now with Olivia my hips were in pain all of the time, especially when sleeping and I was just uncomfortable and feeling huge. While I do feel huge, I'm not having any hip pain! Which I attribute to me going to the chiropractor regularly since about 16 weeks, our new comfy bed, and the pregnancy pillow John bought for me. Although I am tired in the evenings for sure I still have lots of energy and feel pretty good during the day, I attribute that to eating SO much better than with Olivia, exercising regularly, and being distracted by Olivia.

In those ways this pregnancy has been better, but man the random pregnancy things that effect some and not others.... Those are just one after another. It seems as soon as one passes or I just get used to that being apart or life a new horrible in it's own way symptom begins. By the end of this I may end up having every awful pregnancy symptom there is (not actually because there are a ton, but some days it feels that way).

Moving on from my complaining 😉
Olivia (along with pretty much everyone else that knows me) is sure we are having a boy. It used to be a toss up whether she would say baby is a boy or girl, now it is ALWAYS boy or brother. I on the other hand, no idea! This pregnancy has been so different and similar at the same time, but I'm also older, eating better consistently, chasing after a toddler rather than sitting at a desk, and living in a different state. All of those things could effect my pregnancy and doesn't necessarily mean different gender. I want to say I think it is a girl, mostly to contradict everyone else, but I don't have a feeling either way.

We've been talking a lot about when I go into labor. It's going to be so interesting how it all unfolds. John could be in a final or have to go to a final when it happens and in that case he will miss it. He could miss a lot of the labor but be there for the birth, or hopefully it lands on a day he is working or the weekend and he'll be with me the whole time. We'll see!

The other crazy thing about only having 7 weeks left means, only 7 weeks till Olivia is THREE! How did that happen?
Also, only 7 weeks till law school is over. I cannot believe how fast it went by and how blessed we have been throughout and with the job John has.

Life is crazy and busy and I'm loving having my little family to experience it with.
