33 weeks, 5 weeks + to C-day

Boy is it easy to get busy, busy, busy. I've been postponing posting because I wanted to put an updated picture up here. The one from early January I think I didn't really stand sideways enough and so it makes me look so tiny. By now, it's been a few weeks since we last took a picture though. We are due again for a new one because I feel like there's been another growth spurt.

I'm starting to wonder how I've managed to fit more growth in again. And even more so, wondering how these next 5 weeks are going to go! I feel so stretched out and full now.

Baby C continues to work up new moves. Lately a fist or foot gets pushed out really high up near my ribs. For a baby who has been sitting so low through my pregnancy, now he's getting me up high too. Thankfully though, still at this point, once we get into a comfy spot at bedtime, for the most past I am able to sleep through the night.

Caleb is doing really excellent and we've been reading a book that a friend gave us about being a big brother. He's been asking for it and he will answer questions like if I ask him what he thinks the baby needs. So I think we are in as good a place as we can be for now. The actual arrival of his baby brother is sure to bring out a lot of different emotions and behaviors to be worked through.

We've painted the nursery and set up the crib with the mattress back up in its highest position. Caleb of course helped with Daddy's tools. Still some little things to do and to get but at least the most crucial things we still have from Caleb.

Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to get some updated pictures posted in the next day or so. Take care!
