I have reached the 32 week mark and I can tell things are going to just get more uncomfortable from here on out. I have been busy trying to keep the house straightened and somewhat clean this week and I have to do things in little bursts. Since I have not been sleeping very well at night, not that I am necessarily uncomfortable or anything, it's just I can't sleep soundly, I have been more tired during the day which means I sometimes require a nap. I had gotten away from taking naps after the first trimester for the most part, but I think they might become more frequent in these last few weeks. I have also been tutoring in the evenings and trying very hard to make sure that we have a nice dinner every night so that we can avoid eating out. Besides running out of food last weekend, we have done very well at eating at home.
I am really trying to create some Round 2 meals as I like to call them too. Round 2 meals are where you take the main ingredient from one meal and morph it into a different meal either for lunch or for another dinner. For example this week, we had pot roast last night, and tonight we had shredded beef tacos. It was the same meat just used in two different ways. Since I am not a big fan of eating the same thing over and over (unlike Bryan) these Round 2 meals have really helped stretch the amount of food we buy and inspires me to eat leftovers.
During some of my down time this week I have been researching cloth diapering. I know it sounds strange but Bryan and I are really considering cloth diapering just for the simple fact that it costs so much less than using disposable diapers. I still have a lot to learn before jumping in full force into the cloth diapering world, but I think I am well on my way to figuring out what will work best for us.
We also had a pregnancy pediatrician consult this week. It was kind of awkward interviewing a doctor who could supposedly treat your child for the next several years, but I think it was definitely beneficial for us to meet our baby's potential doctor before he arrives. I think we will be pleased with our decision and it really hit home how close we are to becoming parents. I think we are feeling less terrified and more excited about it each day!

Hey Stephanie! I'm sorry you're starting to feel more uncomfortable, but I'm glad that it's so soon until Seth gets here:) For what it's worth, Dave and I have decided to cloth diaper...something I never thought I would do. We haven't even started yet so I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'd be happy to talk about it if you want to:)
