32 weeks

I cannot believe there are only 8 weeks to go.  I am definitely ready to have this little girl join our family, but it seems like the time is flying by.  AJ seems to tell me daily now that I am getting bigger!  He and my co-workers as well keep telling me that everything seems to be more in my belly this time than with Preston and I just keep growing outward at the stomach.  I think this is a very good thing.  I much prefer to only gain weight at the belly - hopefully it will come off quickly!  My class reunion is in August and I would like to be able to fit in my normal clothes comfortably!  
At my doctors appointment this week everything was "just about perfect" is what he told me.  My weight gain is going spectacularly, baby's heartrate is staying consistent around 140bpm, bloodpressure is good and although he didn't actually measure my stomach this time, he said that was good too!  I go again in 2 weeks.
We finally got Preston's furniture!  It only took about 6 1/2 weeks, even though they told us it would only be 4 at most, but it has arrived and Preston loved it last night.  It took AJ about 2 hours to put it together, seeing as I wasn't much help, so Preston didn't get to go to bed last night until after 9:30.  Once it was put up and everything was together, he was allowed back into his room crawled up into the bed and said "ni night."  I think he was a little tired.  He didn't move an inch last night once he was in bed.  The bed rail we are borrowing, doesn't work with his bed so we are hoping he doesn't start to roll all of a sudden.  So far since he has been out of his crib, he has only rolled off his mattress once - not too bad for almost 2 months time!  
Preston continues to love playing outside and with his bat and ball.  Tonight he would put the ball on the tee by himself, pick up the bat and swing - when the ball  hit the ground, he dropped the bat began clapping and yelling "yah" while looking at us and waiting for us to clap as well!  It was very cute.  AJ wasn't quick enough to get video, so pictures will have to work.
We are also in the process of hopefully finding a truck for AJ.  There is a really nice one that I am trying to negotiate a deal on and AJ really likes it, so we'll see.
That is all for now.  We plan to go to the zoo in StL this weekend, so hopefully the rain is scattered enough for us to enjoy some time there!  Have a fantastic weekend!
