T-Minus 8 Weeks...

Happy Easter!
32 weeks along...8 weeks to go...and my stomach definitely matches the 8 month criteria. I'm getting huge! And it's really starting to show from my waist down--and even in my arms---and my face! Ah! I've been really swollen lately...I no longer have ankles...all that exists are large softballs on both sides of my feet. I'm wearing flip flops daily, no matter what clothing I have on. My fingers and hands are really swollen, too...I can't wear my rings without them cutting off my finger circulation. Needless to say, I'm very plump, ha!

Eric and I had a really relaxing weekend...it was so nice. We continued to organize the house and get things ready for baby...we went to church on Easter and I made a big lunch; Baked ham, sweet potatoe casserole, devilled eggs, pistachio salad, fresh cut fruit, and biscuits! It was delicious...

The baby has taken on the movements of a "monster in my belly", per Eric's words. HA! He doesn't jab outward on the stomach as much as he used to; the movements are slowed down now, much like he's simply turning over or moving a limb to another position. It looks like a caterpiller or snake slithering in there...it's really neat. Also, as of last week, he has figured out how to get underneath my right rib cage---this does not feel good! He still likes to kick around when he's hyper and it literally takes my breath away...the hard knocks are the ones that make me yelp!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Have a great week!

You're adorable! I hate that I didn't get to come to Nashville for Amanda's party, but I can't wait to see you Saturday!
