Emotions and 31 weeks and 3 days..

Hey everyone, its that time of the week to update my blog with the weekly growth of Presley. Before I do that I just wanted to blog for a bit about how I'm doing. My emotions this week are crazy, they are getting the best of me. I'm so dang emotional that it sucks, and all I do is cry. I feel like I'm getting very depressed and that I don't want to do anything. Presley's room is still not done. Robb's Granny wanted the room done so that when she gets here on May 1st she can check it out, however thats not going to happen, since thats only a week away. I really wanted Presley's room to be done way before now and Robb still has so much more to do in there. My first baby shower is on May 5th. I'm not going to have anywhere to put her new stuff since her room isn't done. I think this has lots to do with me starting to get depressed. We only have 60 more days until her due date. I'm scared that her room won't be done before she gets here. Besides her room, work is getting a bit scary as well. We are slowly running out of work again like it did in January. Even though it hasnt happened yet, I'm getting a bit nervous which is making me stressed out. Anyways... thats how I have been feeling lately. Hopefully it gets better soon cause I dont know how much of this I can handle.

Milestone: A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

28 weeks and 2 days...

I can't believe we have made it to our third trimester. Its an amazing feeling knowing that Presley Afton will be here in just under 12 weeks if she comes by her due date. She moves so much, I know when she's taking a little nap because I dont feel anything at all. But man when she's awake I feel EVERYTHING!!!! Anyways... we only have 82 more days until her due date. Hopefully she comes before then, I dont think I can wait that long. She will be full term on June 2nd which that is only 2 months away from today! Crazy to think that in less the 3 months I will have my baby girl in my arms. It brings me to tears to think about how lucky we are to be blessed to have a child. Even though I havent liked being pregnant I wouldnt change it for anything. And yes I would do it all over again, if we get another chance. Anyways.... here is the weekly update.

Milestone:  She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
