How I was feeling; 32-34 weeks Pregnant & counting...

Where has the time actually gone?!

Well into the 30 weeks + now... 

I don't even know where to begin with these weeks... My belly has grown again so much, my appetite has been amazing back to pre-pregnancy (eating big meals, snacking, eating a sh*t ton of fruit) & seeing the baby move and kick so hard - it's as if it's either a foot or a fist sticking out of me!!

I've made more of an effort with leaving the house now, in my previous post, I mentioned that in my 1st week off I did absolutely nothing, but now as time has gone on I've been taking trips out of the house to stay active, albeit if they are outings to someone's  house, it's the change of scene and company that makes all the difference! 

I have also been looking more and more into what I should be packing in my hospital bag - Everyone has such differences it's difficult to know if you're packing/bringing too much or unnecessary stuff - Some hospitals provide things and some don't - it's a bit of a job to know what the heck to pack... Reading up on websites and watching YouTube channels isn't enough, I've taken to asking friends and family what they bought, knowing they had several different births, I've kinda got the realistic version of what you do & don't need. (I'll go into more detail next time!!)

I feel so blessed, but it's kinda boring to have a non-eventful pregnancy, I'm starting to think it's cursed me so much so that either the birth will go slightly wrong OR my baby will have colic and other issues that will require so much MORE of my attention! Is that bad of me to admit!?

My fiancé had a scary dream recently that I went into early labor and as he works away he basically had a nightmare that he couldn't get to me in time & considering I've not had nightmares yet, I found it strangely comforting that he had been thinking about us!

I realize that throughout my posts I've talk a lot about myself & not enough about my partner, after all it takes 2 to make a baby, 2 to be a couple & 2 to be amazing parents! 

We both had weird family dynamics growing up, me with my parents divorce and small family & him with his divide in real parents and step parents & all those "siblings".. We've come to the agreement that we hope Baby Fisher grows up with a very balanced childhood and given the best opportunity to grow up & change be his/her own person! Right from the very beginning we make so many choices for our kids that we forget that they need to learn/expand their own horizons.. Kurt & I will have different disciplinary ways but I hope once we get into it we'll compromise with one another. We don't want to impose on gender roles either.. Your son wants to play dollies and ponies as well as being a fireman and chef - go for it! Your daughter wants to dress up as Darth Vader, be a vet & wear pink ALL THE TIME - then let her! There's nothing wrong with mixing up the colours in their wardrobe either.. I've said to people already that I don't like imposing that blue is for boys and pink is for girls.. RAINBOW COLOURS ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! 

We've even discussed what it would be like to have a gay child.. We're all for it, once they know their own mind - that's the main thing. You don't want to push anything on them, but just let them know that different is good & change can be good too!

What are your views?

 

Sorry went on a tangent... Kurt has been an awesome partner, we've been best friends for 5 years & 9 months.. Ahh college day's were the best (that's when we met!) We are different in so many ways, but we're connected on the same level! Many people say that we're "the best couple" they know of. Seriously - I take that as a compliment. It's not often that you find someone who is a total opposite but it somehow works.. We make each other laugh every single day & care deeply about one another. That is beyond rare, surely? He's 3 years older than me, taller than me & has some pretty weird habits, but I can't say I'm safe from weird habits either.. We both have a bizarre silly sense of humor. We also have the same political, religious, & general well-being views & we end up talking so in depth about stuff. Living with him is almost like a sleepover every night, which is always nice because you always feel at ease with all of the perks of being there all the time *wink wink, nudge nudge*
