I'm not going to lie. I didn't enjoy Monday, so this was a bit of a chore. Nonetheless, here are my three good things:
1. I am 33 weeks and 2 days pregnant today. This means I have just over 3. 5 weeks until I'm considered full term. In three and a half weeks, the baby can come at any time. This blows me away. We're so close. I'm getting really emotional at the thought of giving birth for the last time, meeting this little boy, and seeing Carter as a big brother.
2. We moved the bed out of the old spare room to its new home downstairs. I need to work on getting everything else out so painting can begin and we will be nursery-bound - -- finally (and thank god, since we've got roughly 3 weeks before labour would be welcome)!
3. My dad popped by to fix some buckling issues that came up with the carpet (seems fine now). While he was at our house and in the playroom working on the carpet Carter came in to see his Pepe (what he calls my dad). My dad is one of Carter's very favourite people, and I'll tell you, though he's a friendly boy who likes almost everyone, his favourites list is pretty short and Mom and Pepe are right at the top. Anyway, he came in to play with my dad and watching the two of them interact is just always one of the best parts of my day.

Tuesday was a much better day:
1. I had a prenatal appointment today. Everything looks great and that's always good to hear. It had been exactly 2 weeks since I had last seen my doctor and in that time I gained three pounds and my fundal height measurement (a measurement they do to check the growth of the uterus) has grown 2 cm. The sought after growth is 1 cm per week, so that's perfect. I'm still measuring a bit small at 32 cm for 33 weeks, but as long as I keep growing, it doesn't matter. At the ultrasound the tech said I may just be carrying "compactly," - like a car. Basically, I'm a compact car. Yes, that sounds about right. (She didn't make that comparison - that was all me.)
2. My awesome cousin, Nicole, took care of my little mister today. Our sitter had the day off and normally my mom takes him, but she has been dealing with intense back spasms since Saturday, so she couldn't. Carter LOVES cousin Nikki and when he's with her, he's just the happiest little camper. I love how much he loves her and how much she loves him. It makes me indescribably happy.

3. My replacement at work started today so I started training her. Training went well and she catches on quickly, which makes for a relatively easy experience. She seems kind and genuine and I really like her. Also, starting training really makes my quickly approaching mat leave very real. 2 weeks from today. 10 work days left. Crazy. I'm so ready.
