32 weeks and 1 day! Approximately 8 more weeks to go! The first 8 weeks were so easy to wait through (well, at least the first five... since I didn't know I was pregnant, haha), I feel like these next 8 weeks are going to draaaaag!
Patrick got one of our usual ones the day before but we were going to walk at a local park with the dog when the sun came out for the first time in a week and I looked like total crap, my shorts cut into my belly weird and pushed my fat weird and I felt like I just mostly looked fat instead of fat and pregnant. This pic isn't much better but the main thing is you can see my belly so I'm sticking with it ('cause I'm lazy).
We got a lot of cleaning done during Patrick's week off, too. Of course, it's already semi-cluttered again but much more manageable. I know some of the stuff we need to get to help fix that (organization wise) and we need to donate some more stuff and then clear out the rest of the storage closet.
I have my baby shower coming up in a few weeks, which I probably need to call and talk to the hostess about because I have addresses I need to give her.
I have no clothes to wear anymore, it feels like. I'm still wearing all my pre-pregnancy clothes, I simply bought belly bands. The bands fit fine but the shorts in that picture were pretty much totally unzipped there and my jeans physically hurt me to wear because I either have them half-zipped or fully unzipped and the belly band doesn't cover my jeans fully unzipped very well (since I prefer wearing it folded over to give me extra support). I think I'm going to break down and at least buy some maternity jeans, I'm just trying to find a cheap pair that I don't totally hate. Everybody keeps suggesting the thrift store, but I'm at least a 2x in maternity jeans (going by motherhood maternity's measurements) and the best I generally find are XL. The jeans I'm currently wearing I bought at the thrift store since I wasn't about to buy the jeans I normally would while pregnant when I have no idea what my body is going to look like post-baby, but they're regular jeans and they've reached their limit. I've only gained about 2-4 inches from the beginning of my pregnancy (since I've always fluctuated about 2 inches I really feel I've only gained about 2). I may try the thrift store one more time tomorrow, even if it's just to find non-maternity jeans that I can wear with the belly band... but otherwise I have a few $30ish options... I just hate to spend the money 8 weeks before I'm due! If I'd been wearing maternity jeans at 6 months it might be different, but I was told to expect to be wearing my 6 month stuff post-baby and that was my pre-pregnancy clothes. Oh well, we will get through this.
My car is fixed, we're going to have to pick it up tomorrow so for the day I'm stuck at home. I could go swimming but I need help applying sunscreen and our pets are unhelpful jerks.
Last but not least, I started working on another drawing for the baby's room. This time I drew a zebra, total pain in the butt!
I think I'm going to add some tall grass behind him since this picture needs some color. I don't know how much of a background I'll add because none of the drawings I've done have much of a background beyond a branch and possibly adding some underwater plants (grass?) to the platypus drawing.
