Here are weeks 32-34! There were definitely some highs and lows through these 3 weeks.
I started getting some contractions, which were quite uncomfortable, some stomach pain, and I actually got a little anxiety about baby preparation!
But then I had a fabulous baby sprinkle, my parents drove up, and helped me tremendously with baby prep and checking most everything off of my to-do list! I now feel like I'm just about ready for baby girl's arrival in just a few short weeks!

{yes - this is my 33 week pregnancy picture. I figured I'd just throw in my outtake of the little "photo shoot" we had. This is real life people. A toddler running through the picture, throwing a stuffed animal directly into my face right as the camera clicked. Cheese!)
