Now at 32 weeks! Can't believe it's here and can't wait for our beautiful baby girl to come! We've got the crib set up, newborn - 3 month clothes organized and I'm in full-blown nesting stage.
Everything is going very well. Doctors say my body is healthy and handling the pregnancy well and baby girl is growing right along schedule and appears perfectly healthy. I feel so blessed to have a pregnancy free of complications, once again. I talked to the doctor about how tired I am and what I can do to help that. He informed me that my body is producing progesterone, which happens to act as a sedative during pregnancy. Great. Being tired is just part of it he says, especially since I already have a child. Fantastic.
Pregnant women receive a variety of comments on their appearance. For me, there are some comments that I really enjoy and that make me feel good and there are others that are hard to stay smiling for.
"Your belly is so cute and round!"
"You look fantastic!"
"You are so cute pregnant!"
"You don't look that far along, you're so small!"
=good.
"You're looking really pregnant."
"Are you sure there's only one baby in there?"
"You're so big, and you still have two months to go!"
"You look so tired."
"Do you think you can get any bigger?"
=bad.
I realize I can be sensitive at times, but really, women probably feel the most sensitive during pregnancy than at any other time, so think before you speak!

Um, I don't think you're being sensitive—some of those are just mean. You know, things only family should say when they are POSITIVE you're in a fantastic mood. Or maybe not then, either. :)
You should ask Dad someday about his experiences with pregnancy sensitivity.
I think you look great! And that is a beautiful picture! Oh, and you should definitely ask dad about those stories, they are great!
You look so very beautiful! You look like a wonderful little mommy! I can't wait for another joyful baby to come into this family. I love you so much!
