And it just keeps getting bigger...

Just 8 weeks to go!

We had our 32 week doctor appointment this morning and everything looks great. Eli's heart rate was perfect, and my blood pressure was better than it typically is when I'm not pregnant, and I am up 15lbs so far so the doc told me to wild Christmas dinner! I did find out that they have placed restrictions on visitors, so my Noah won't be able to meet Eli until we are released. I can see him in the Cafeteria (yay) but that's it. Also, Ethan and Lisa (my brother and little sister-in-law, both 13) will not be allowed to visit either. I can also only have 2 visitors at a time, and they prefer that we not have any visitors during labor either. I am a little bummed about Noah not being able to visit, but I am okay with the restrictions. When we had Noah we had so many visitors coming constantly that it was hard to get any rest so I think this time may be a bit easier in regards to that. But since I stay home with Noah and hate leaving him for more than a quick trip to the grocery store, it will be hard...but maybe good for the both of us.

You look like I did with Colton--like you swallowed a beach ball. I only gained 24 pounds the entire pregnancy and little man only weighed 6.1 pounds. I ate and ate but just didn't gain alot. It made losing it much easier though!!

You are adorable preggo!! You are one of those people who was made to be pregnant I think! Thanks for sharing - Cute, cute, cute!

LOVE the belly! You are a beautiful preggo mama!

Bummer about all of those restrictions! Gosh, they are strict huh?

I agree, it was a tough thought to not see DS regularly when I was in the hospital after DD was born. Especially since I was with him 24/7, but for me, there was so much going on with learning about my new little one and the changes going on with a new baby...those days flew by and we were all together at home!

you look great--stil so tiny, despite that belly! :)

& it will be sooo hard to be away from my little men, so i know how you feel about leaving noah... my mom tells me it's a good time to focus on the new little one & get to know him tho, so that's a nice silver lining, right? & noah will be in good hands.
