And you think you're tired!

I am exhausted. All the time. Everyone said you get a burst of energy in your second trimester, which I thought was total crap until I made my way into the middle of my third trimester and am now SO tired! Gah! I need a nap almost everyday now just to feel functional!

I can't sleep at night either- can't get comfortable, can't get rid of the awful heartburn that is plaguing me... and some people like to say, "Oh, that is just your body getting used to being tired constantly with a new baby!" Well, folks, that just doesn't make sense. Shouldn't my body be resting up? Storing energy for the many late nights that lie ahead? Someone explain this to me!

My 33 week doctors appointment yesterday went well. For the next few weeks I will be going to see her every other week, until about 37 weeks, when I will start coming in every week to be checked (no fun). Kathryn is still hanging out, head down, as she should be... keep hoping that she stays that way! I always thought I wouldn't really care if I had to have a c-section, but as we get closer I am really praying we can do it the old fashioned way (well... old fashion, plus an epidural). She also said that Kat's growth has evened out now, so hopefully we won't have to worry about an early induction or c-section for a big baby!

We've had our childbirth class, our Baby Basics class and Baby Saver (CPR) class so far, with one more class to go. It was definitely an experience, to say the least! I'm still totally in the dark about what to expect when I go into labor and how to know if it is the real deal, but I'm sure when the time comes it will all make sense. I think. I hope.

Our shower was amazing on Sunday- so many wonderful people came and we were very blessed to receive so many things to help prepare us for Kat's arrival. We had a lot of fun, played some games, chatted and ate great food... what more could you want? Kat is going to be such a lucky little girl and have so many people who love her... it really astounds me that we are so fortunate. Her room is looking good- still have some things to hang up and put away, but it is getting there. The glider is supposed to be coming in within the next 8 weeks- ha! I could have a baby before I have a glider, but that is ok... my fault for waiting so long.

I think that is it for now... 7 more weeks to go!!!
