33 weeks and Father's Day

Thursday we had another midwife appointment. Everything seems to be progressing well. Lil' man is measuring a little ahead (as he has been the whole time), and the braxton hicks contractions seem to be coming more often, but the midwife is not concerned. She is not convinced that I will carry to 40 weeks, but she does not seem to be worried that he will come too soon to be of concern.
I am definitely in the uncomfortable stage of the pregnancy. Struggling with keeping the swelling down, and moving around is getting more difficult. Epsom salt and I are on a regular acquaintance thanks to the heat and "cankles" I am starting to develop!
Otherwise, all is well. Mister moves all the time, which I love! Lets me know he is okay and healthy. He seems to really like his back rubbed. I notice he lays with his back on my right side a lot. Hopefully he stays in this position, and keeps his head down and his back away from mine.

Steven and I had a great weekend. It was the first weekend in a long time that I didn't have to work, and neither of us had any plans. It was great! We had time to go to both farmer markets in the area, work in the yard, and any other chores we had been putting off. Steven also bought me a swing for the sunroom, like I have wanted. We even found pillows at the farmers market to go on it! I absolutely love it. I can see nice Fall days sitting out there swinging with my baby boy!

Sunday we celebrated Father's Day. Steven spent time doing Fatherly chores (finishing up the sunroom). Steven working in the sunroom. First full wall he's built, so proud of him!

We also went out to eat with Stevens family. We had a great day, and despite the chores, I hope Steven enjoyed his almost a Father- Father's Day. One new advancement that has amazed Steven is we are pretty sure that our son recognizes his voice. Whenever he talks to him now, lil' man starts a wiggling and squirming in there. I think it's great! Next Father's Day we will be working on him saying "daddy". How exciting!

About 7 weeks give or take. . .we can't wait to meet you!!!!
