33 weeks pregnant today! For a few weeks now, after breakfast I struggle with getting a big deep breath for a few hours. Sounds pretty normal to me for as pregnant as I am and yet it's still a little annoying not to be able to breathe normally. Only a few weeks more and that problem will solve itself. Luckily, I only have normal pregnancy complaints to speak of at this point. I am still sleeping fairly well which makes me happy. I have to get up at least once a night to use the bathroom but it's only because I can't turn over very well because of the extra weight of my bladder so I empty it to help my body to relax and I get a deeper sleep. Our little missy likes to experiment with her kicks at this point and she's so big you can easily see her move from the outside now. It's mostly entertaining until she starts doing repeated high kicks in there. LOL
Aftyn is still LOVING preschool. For the past week and a half it's been my turn to teach, so we have had preschool at our house. Bronwyn has loved getting to be a part of all the learning. She insists on drawing while we practice writing our names and enjoys playing all of our games and singing songs with us. Oh, and she loves all the crafts! I don't know how she's going to like going back to our mommy and me preschool. Oh well. Maybe I'll have to ramp it up a bit to be more like Aftyn's preschool schedule.
I have seen such a change in Aftyn since preschool started! She asks SO many more questions about things and has really started picking up on things much more quickly. She has a hunger for learning that is so fun to watch! She is doing really well with phonics and is getting closer and closer to reading. I can't wait for her to learn.
We are all so excited for our baby coming soon! We have the bassinet all set up, her blessing dress made (I only need to finish sewing the button holes), her lighter blanket finished and her thicker blanket is not quite finished and it's taunting me with it's edges all hanging out waiting for me to finish sewing it. I'm lacking the energy and patience right now. It's probably not going to get better in that department, luckily I don't start using the thicker blanket until my baby's are closer to 6 months so that gives me some time.
We are grateful to be living with my parents still but certainly looking forward to the time when we can move into our own place again. Our plan is for that to happen a few weeks after we have our baby.
Which brings up some other news. I can't remember if I mentioned but Reed has accepted a new position at his work as a salesman. Because of this new position, it actually requires us to move. We have freedom to choose among many cities in Idaho to move for this position and should have a decision made sometime in the next month. And then we can start looking for a place to rent for our family! We're thinking that we should be in before Christmas.
Reed is really excited for his new position and we're excited for the growth and learning this will allow him.
So, that's our update for now. And I have to go to the bathroom. Shocker. Until next time! I'll try and have pictures to share next time.

Wow! That sounds pretty uncomfortable. Hopefully it won't be very much longer until she is here :). That job sounds exciting! We all wait with baited breath to hear your city of choice. :)
I'm glad some people still keep a blog. I've thought about updating mine but that tasks seems too overwhelming. Maybe one of these days I will add a post. MAYBE. Just to warn you, you won't have time to breathe normal when you have three kids 4 and under either. Okay, it's not that bad. It's pretty crazy but a fun kind of crazy. :-)
