Hello! I'm back from a short blogging break with another update on the ol' pregnancy.

As I type, I'm 31 weeks plus 6 days along, which means...

Eek! We're down to single digits! Tomorrow the 9 will change to an 8 as my due date gets closer and closer. I'm not going to lie, I'm getting kind of nervous!
At this past week's appointment, Baby Girl's heartbeat clocked in at 142. The doctor said that was good. I also got the devastating news that I put on TEN pounds in just 3 weeks. Yikes! Guess I took celebrating passing my glucose test a little too far. Let's hope I don't keep this pace up or I'll be the size of a house by the time she arrives!
I am now taking an iron supplement with my prenatal vitamins. I'm just a few days in taking it and already feel a little bit better. I was SO tired before. I'm glad to have a little more energy back but could definitely do without the side effects that come with taking iron (if you've taken it before, you know what I'm talking about).
Things are beginning to get uncomfortable. I know I have two months left and shouldn't be complaining since it will only get worse, but I already feel like I'm running out of room for this little girl! It's hard to imagine how I could possibly get any bigger. Physically, I could be ready for her to come on out. Mentally, I'm definitely not ready yet. Logistically, she just has to stay in a while longer. There's way too much to do before she arrives!
I hesitate to say the restless legs are getting better because they are definitely still there, but I'm figuring out ways to manage them so I can get some sleep. I've researched home remedies so if they start bugging me, I do lots of stretching and muscle flexing. I also have another fan by the bed (that makes 3 in our room total now) because I've figured out they're not as bad if I'm cold. Actually, it's impossible to get me cold these days so I guess I should say they're not as bad is I'm less hot than usual.
I'm still taking weekly pics and they're still pretty embarrasing and awkward! Here are the ones I shared last time.

And here are more recent pics of the bump.

From the pics you can tell that A) the bump is growing, B) I need a tan, and C) I need a haircut. Apparently I've decided I can't get my hair done while pregnant. (???) I guess I only have 2 months left, might as well hold out a little longer. Maybe I'll get it all chopped off after she arrives.
We have already been spoiled by many of our friends at two different baby showers. I'm working on getting the pictures together for those posts, but trust me when I say Baby Girl is racking up some really cute stuff!

I can't think of anything else to update you on so I guess I'll call it quits. If you were almost 32 weeks pregnant, what would you be doing to prepare for the arrival of your baby? (Assuming you weren't packing up a house, planning a yardsale, and moving in the next couple of weeks...)
