Week 32!

We are now at the end of 32 weeks, which leaves only 7 weeks (approximately) until Adalyn's arrival.  Brandon thinks she is going to make an early appearance, because he says she is impatient like us!  We will see.  We started our Lamaze birth class this week.  It is going to be a great class.  Lots of information, which I love, and a great midwife, with 32 years of experience, teaching us.  We have five more classes, so hopefully Adalyn will wait until after that to come.  

I have been completely exhausted this week!  Even if I managed to get some good sleep, I was still beyond tired.  Good sleep has been hard to come by though.  Not as many crazy dreams this week, but I can not get comfortable.  Even with my snoogle pregnancy pillow I can't get comfortable for long and I get hot!  I am also having to get up to go to the bathroom every hour or two, so that is not helping.  I have been working out 6 days a week to try to help with my gestational diabetes.  It takes quite a bit of motivation to get up and do a workout sometimes, but I am sticking with it.  Thank goodness for my treadmill in the basement!

Sleep:   Sleep has been bad again this week.  I have had a hard time getting comfortable and staying that way.  I get hot and can't lay in one position for more than an hour or two.  I also have to get up to go to the bathroom every hour or two.  

Best moment of this week?:  Relaxing at home with Brandon (since he was off Monday and Tuesday for New Years).
