Lovely bump! You look fab! So jealous you live in Finland too, I really want to visit there one day!!
How on earth did you manage to paint your toes and how long did it take?! I can't even put my socks on without struggling for breath!!!xx
But he really helps with anything like that anyway. I think he'll have to help me tidy up downstairs soon. I can't see a thing anymore! Kedra, my movements have changed this last week too, but my belly is measuring right on track. She's not rolling anymore (I miss feeling that), I am feeling her super low and there are some kicks here and there. I still feel her every day and some kicks are still strong, but I miss feeling her more =(
In other news, I just had my baby shower
I had it in my house, I didn't want to incovenience my friends, they all have small kids. But my friends did make me a cake and put together some games. I got so many presents I feel like I need a second home just for the baby stuff! Plenty of diapers too!!!!
I feel so emotional, I home alone now (hubby is at work) and I just want to cry, I feel so grateful that everyone was so so nice to us and our baby and at the same time I am feeling sad too. I am going back to the hormonal changes I had in the first trimester... I think I'm starting to have fears and anxieties, like, what if something goes wrong during delivery, or something happens to my baby or, worse yet, I do something that harms her in some way... I don't like these feelings...
for the baby shower! Mine is coming soon too. Can't wait. 
Are you birthing in a hospital? Just remind yourself that the staff there do this all day, everyday, and have a lot of experience. They are also familiar with mommies and their worries. When the time comes to check in, it will all seem so surreal. As the labor progresses, you will likely focus on that in a more physical/mental way than emotional. It takes so much of you that there isn't as much room for you to worry.
just let me know who wants to buddy with who?
I guess it's not all bad.
aaaargh, ladies, it seems that between GD and our hormones, we are having a rough time.
I feel a lot better today because DH is home. I am so clingy, it's ridiculous. On top of it, DH made a few "jocking" comments about being jealous when the baby is born but, on the other hand, he also said he'll take the baby with him to the grocery store for 8 hours every day so I can sleep
A friend lent me her breast pump, a very nice double medela. That thing looks scary though. The mere thought of putting that on my boob and turning it on makes me shiver 0.o
Also, baby dreams are back. I've been dreaming of her every night for the last few days. Last night I dreamed she was born but I hadn't seen her yet and I was back at work the following day. And the whole time at work I was just crying because I wanted to go home and meet my baby... Dh was at work with me and when I asked him why he wasn't home watching the baby, he just replied he wanted to have lunch with me (which is sweet, I guess).
Last topic: I've been feeling big flutters super low, down there. Sometimes I even feel them low and "behind", iykwim. I told a friend and she said baby is probable head down already and I am feeling her hands. What do you all think?
I had to get on all fours to stand up out of bed! Any idea what that could be?
Eek kendra glad your okay!!
I keep getting quite painful BH, especially if I'm doing something like cleaning the kitchen etc, I have to stop and today I've woken up with a really painful stitch like feeling in the top of my bump!
Try to just enjoy the clean house and take it for what it is. Also, take it easy! Get rest and take breaks. Your baby is already sucking her fingers in the womb and swallowing amniotic fluid. She will know what to do. You'll just need to help her learn to latch on in the right position so you don't get sore. It's a learning experience for both of you if you haven't done it before, but babies naturally root for the nipple to feed. It's a survival tactic.
