45 days to go!

It's crazy how time seems to speed up at the end of a pregnancy. Or it could be just because of all the work we're doing in the house! We're finally done with the painting and my boyfriend built our sliding barn door with a friend over the weekend. We do have a lot of things to set up still in the basement, and an organization system to install in the nursery closet.

We also transitioned our son to a twin bed over the weekend in order to use his crib for the baby. The transition went smoothly, although he woke up at 5:30 four days in a row!

I had my final ultrasound this morning. I generally start drinking my 1L of water an hour before my appointment, which turns out to be plenty, so I was very much taken aback when I registered and was told the tech could take me in now.... a full 40 minutes before my appointment! Luckily the water drinking bit isn't as crucial in the third trimester so it didn't change anything. The tech didn't talk much, but she did say baby measured right on track and weighed 2.2 kilos (about 5 pounds), placing him in the 50th percentile. I thought that was reassuring because I'm definitely carrying smaller than last time... by this time with our first son I was regularly being told how big I was! This time around people tell me I don't look 33 weeks pregnant.... However I think this baby is just lower than our first son was. Which isn't surprising I guess, things must have stretched out down there!

Also, we finally settled on a name! It took us forever but we finally did it. We've announced it to our friends, but decided not to tell my in-laws, after my MIL ruined our gender announcement. I was going to tell my FIL and have him tell my MIL (which I thought evened thing out), but my boyfriend thought that was too mean. I personally feel like it's worse to tell everyone and not them, but I guess they never have to know....
