Busy

I have lots of great Memorial Day pictures to post, but will have to do that later. 
I will be 33 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I was looking back at pictures of myself and reading my thoughts, feelings and what we were doing when I was 33 weeks along with my sweet Audrey.  Here is a link to my 33 weeks preggo post with Audrey....I was also turning 27 at the time.   I will be turning 30!!!  pretty soon after Tessa is born. 
I am quite sure my bump is bigger at 33 weeks this time around.  My uterus is measuring the same, but I think I am carrying a bit further out front this time, or my muscles are more lax now (that's probably the case:)). 
I am feeling pretty good.  My veins are still a major nuisance and I am beginning to really need assistance getting up out of bed or off the couch these days.  My nesting instinct has kicked in and I am like a flurry through the house ( or well.....maybe more like a fast moving elephant...?) getting things done.  Tessa's room is getting there.....slowly.  I had Patrick pull bins of clothes, towels, blankets, socks, sleep sacks, etc. from the attic yesterday and I quickly went through them, pulled out what I needed for the first 3 months or so and had him put the rest back in the attic.  Audrey is having fun looking through her old things and seeing how tiny the clothes are and how tiny little sister really will be.  Audrey is loving snuggling some of the blankets I have made for Tessa in the last few weeks and says "I will take this to my room for a little bit", then she'll love on it, wrap her babies in it, dance around slinging it in the air and then bring it back to me saying "it's ready for Tessa".  :) 

My doctors appointment was good yesterday, very quick.  I gained almost two pounds in the last 2 weeks and my blood pressure was good.  Tessa's heart rate was a little elevated, but she was being very active too, so pretty normal.  I have two more appointments that are two week appointments, then go every week after that.....until the big day.  It seems close and far away at the same time.  I am nervous, excited, and ready but not ready all at the same time.  A whole mixed bag of emotions about meeting my second precious daughter, having to go through labor again, when and how it will happen, how we'll juggle two, when I will find time for my Audrey, when I will cook, clean, sleep......all the normal things I think people feel.  I am also much more at peace this time around with how to take care of her, what she will need from me, and how to do things.  I have Mommy confidence now.  I am not stressed about nursing like I was before but know what I am doing, or what I will be doing.  I am realistic about how much time it will take.....maybe that's why I am wondering how the rest will get done.  :)
