Pregnancy is Weird...

Good lord, Malcolm is a mover!!!!  Not so much kicks but it feels like his in there doing barrel rolls.  Mason was more of a kicker.  Very bazaar feeling.  But also very cool.

Another bazaar thing that's been happening is I'm hearing clicks/pops coming from my belly.  At first, I thought it was maybe just my joints but it has happened several times now where I was laying in bed perfectly still. I went to Google, which can be a scary place, but I had heard of this phenomenon before.  It sounds like it's pretty common in later pregnancy. Doctors don't really know what causes it but they've speculated that it could be baby's joints popping.  Or possibly ligaments stretching.  Or something to do with the amniotic fluid. Whatever it is, they do not believe it to be harmful.  The only thing it says to watch for is if you hear a pop on you start leaking fluid. Crazy stuff, this pregnancy business.

Tomorrow is another huge milestone.  I'll be 32 weeks!!!  That will mark the week that risks of any long term health issues goes down significantly if we were to have our baby now.  As far as that stuff goes, we have been very lucky and probably don't need to worry but it's still a comforting milestone to make it to!  I remember last time being so thrilled to make it to 32 weeks!   Speaking of which, I know I've been slacking on my weekly updates.  I'll try to get my 32 weeker in this week.

I've been pretty busy trying to get my to-do list taken care of so that has been taking my focus lately.   But I do this thing where I push myself too hard because I think I'm invincible and end up making myself sick. Wonder who I get that from. (Mom.)  We've got 7 weeks left. Well, 51 days at the most,  until baby boy is here. And the further along I get, the harder it is to do anything so I'm trying to knock off the big stuff first. My basement is so close to being done, which is a huge relief because that was #1 on my list. And I need to finish childproofing my kitchen. It's so much extra work to have to hover over Mason to make sure he's not getting into anything naughty. We have the cupboards with the cleaning stuff baby proofed but we still need to do the others and probably put those corner things on our glass table.

I could go on and on about my "list" but I'll spare you all. Lol. It's not that interesting to anyone but me probably. Haha!  If I have a minute tomorrow, I'll do my update! ;)
