32 Weeks. Three things and eating mold.

1. Lately heartburn has been a very real thing at night. Falling asleep while sitting up is soooo much easier than when I'm completely lying down on my side. I've made a "throne" as Jerry likes to call it, made of 4 pillows + my body pillow. It's pretty excessive but also necessary.

2. I'm becoming more aware of my body and how baby is doing. For the longest time I felt like I didn't know if he was moving or if it was just a gas bubble. But now it's pretty obvious and kinda fun :) Sometimes if I'm in the right position you can actually see him moving in there which is really weird but also cool. 

3. As we get closer and closer to our due date, I can't help but feel eager and anxious. Eager to meet baby but anxious about raising a tiny human. Wow, okay, this is really happening! Motherhood is the weirdest thing. No matter how many times you read about it, or hear about it, everything changes once you're actually experiencing it. For one thing, everything I do revolves around baby and I'm constantly worried about him. One time, we ate moldy salsa by accident (ew I know) and I FREAKED out. Pregnant or not I would freak out a little but my main concern was "did I just kill our baby??!" SOOO dramatic I know. It's kinda silly how worked up I get over the smallest things. I don't know what it is man... but motherhood I tell ya, it does things to your brain.

A Taste of Parenthood. (it was scary)

This week we hosted Jerry's side of the family. My in-laws! Fourteen in-laws! Well, only ten of them stayed at our place. Seven of which were children. And as you can imagine, we got a little taste of parenthood. Or maybe it was a mouthful. Actually, it was more like a big ol' slap in the face. :)

Okay, that sounds bad. But I mean, We suddenly went from being "just the two of us," to a family of 12 with 7 children. That's shocking. Shocking enough to make me blog again haha. But also so shocking that I forgot to take photos of the extravaganza. I did manage to snap a few though. 

I learned that this "clean" home that Jerry and I have tried to maintain will no longer exist once children come along. I've come to accept that now. Kinda (but not really). It still makes me cringe a little thinking about all the mess that will come from having children :) <--- (nervous smile)

When everyone first arrived, I went crazy trying to control everything. Wash your hands. Take off your shoes. Wipe your feet. Wipe your mouth. Eat over the table. DONT. TOUCH. ANYTHING! It was extremely stressful. SOOOOO stressful. For everyone I'm sure. 

Oh, hello there new gray hairs. Welcome to my head.

Poor nieces and nephews. I was the strict evil aunt who took away any kind of fun haha. By the last day though, I feel like I was able to relax a bit. I woke up feeling less stressed and somewhat accepted the fact that things will get dirty. Or maybe it was the relief that everyone was leaving that day? ;) Who knows. But now that everyone's gone, the house does feel a little empty. I'm sure we'll get used to it again real quick though. Hah.

Anyway, I feel like I should finish by saying this. Family is awesome. We love family. Kids are fun and entertaining. Little terrors we bring into this world for some reason. And they are also very messy. If they weren't so cute and pure they'd all be homeless I think.

Oh ya, did I tell you? We're expecting. What have we done???
