31 weeks... Hello Braxton Hicks!

Week 31 has been full of fun... and Braxton Hicks contractions. I've actually had so much concern about them that I called my doctor about them. Luckily I had an appointment scheduled for Friday, and she was able to check me and tell me that everything looks good.

Our baby girl sure is growing and still twisting and turning about. At my appointment the doctor could hardly get her heartbeat because she was twisting, kicking and punching so much. My stomach was moving in waves. The doctor could also tell that she is getting much bigger. Right now, her head is down and she's facing my back. Sometimes I can feel her stretch out against my back and her little butt pokes out just above my belly button. I can't wait to see her little baby butt for the first time, I can already tell that it's going to be a cute one.

We're starting to get closer on her nursery, but it still feels like we have a lot of work to do. We've been lucky enough to be blessed with so many hand me down baby clothes, not to mention all of those that friends and family have bought us. She is going to be a very well dressed little lady. I can't believe how cute some of the stuff is. Everything is adorable when it's that tiny.

Scott read somewhere that when I'm about to go into labor that I'll start cleaning and nesting a bunch. So, naturally, every time I've picked up the vacuum, or done a load of laundry lately he has asked me if I'm "nesting." It's great to have a husband that is so in tuned and cares so much, but sometimes it really just makes me laugh.

I'm getting more and more anxious to have this little girl in our lives. I can't wait to kiss her, and hold her for the very first time. Pregnancy has been a very interesting journey for Scott and I, and I'm starting to think about some of the parts that I'll miss. I am so going to miss feeling her kick inside of me. I can sit forever and just feel her wiggle in my tummy. Of course, there are also so many aspects to pregnancy that I wont be missing so much.

Most of all, I am just so excited to bring this little girl into the world. I pray that I can be the mom that she deserves. Already, I have so much love for her, it's incredible.
