My how time flies
Wednesday is Amy's last day of school for the year. It's hard to believe that the school year is already over. I feel like she just started a few weeks ago. It's been wonderful for her, and I know she will miss it over the summer, but she'll be happy to go back next year. She'll still be in the same preschool program, but she'll have a different teacher. We all really liked her teacher, so we're sad that Amy won't be in her class again, but I'm sure the new teacher will be great also.
Another way time flies, baby is due in just over 5 weeks. At the beginning, time seemed to drag on. Then it got really fast, and now I feel like his arrival is coming at us so fast. Yesterday, we had a baby shower, and receiving baby gifts made it feel that much more real and imminent. As if the constant movement hasn't made him feel real enough. I think my insides may be bruised and broken. And he still has 5 weeks of growing. But my goodness does this boy move a lot. I can already tell he's gonna be a handful. Now if only we could figure out what to name him. Amy now thinks we should name him Amy. That's been the consistent choice for a couple weeks now. I think it might get confusing though.

It's Friday!
Only 33 weeks and I already feel like a beached whale sometimes. My biggest issue lately is a lack of energy. Some days are normal and I feel fine. Other days (like today), I feel totally drained and even coffee can't do anything for me. Now that the weather is finally getting nice, I'm too exhausted to enjoy it.
Amy's been a trooper though. She just accepts when I am tired and plays by herself for the most part. She's getting more independent that way, and it's been very helpful.
Lately, she's been going through the "it's mine" phase. I'm actually surprised it took this long. She even saw a girl on tv putting money into a piggy bank, and said "No, it's my coins" throughout the entire commercial. Her favorite though is to see my cup of coffee, reach for it, and say it's hers. Maybe she thinks that one day she will convince me. Good luck, kid.

Thoughts at 32 weeks
32 down, 8 to go. But these are always the longest 8. The home stretch. May should be a good month though, so hopefully that helps it go by faster.
If there's one thing I miss from the last time I was pregnant, it's being able to nap whenever I wanted. I'm so tired for several hours every day, but since Amy gave up her naps for the most part, I'm outta luck.
Other than being tired a lot and the general uncomfortable feeling of having a bowling ball strapped to my abdomen, I am doing well. Not too many aches and pains and I can generally get around the same as I always have, it just takes a bit more effort.
On a separate note, Brandon and I had a meeting with Amy's teacher and speech therapist yesterday about her progress this year. They both had nothing but fantastic things to say about her. She's improved in so many ways. I always get nervous in meetings like that, afraid of what they might say, but her teacher and therapist have both seen the same explosion of progress in the past few months that we have. We're so proud of her.
