Weeks 33-36 (Month 8): Honeydew 
Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.
Most of the books and Internet sites I read say that the baby is pretty much fully developed at this point and from now until birth the baby will just be putting on weight. I have been bragging about how great my pregnancy has been and last Tuesday at work my back had shooting pains and was throbbing really bad. It really came out of no where and I was trying not to freak out cuz my mom always tells me how she had the worst back labor with me. I thought it would go away quick so I was doubled over sitting at my desk waiting for it to subside and my boss told me to go home so I left! I ended up being fine I went to my moms and took a bath to try to relax my muscles and try to get her to move b/c she usually will move when I take a bath. Nope not this time she finally moved after like 45 min to an hour and I felt a lot of relief so she had to be pinching a nerve or something. I have been trying to remember to take my heat pad to work cuz that helps a lot but sometimes I forget. My back was hurting some this weekend off and on but I am learning to deal with it better. I am hoping to only have four weeks left so I am doing my best!! I will post a belly pic this weekend, I feel like I have tripled my size this past month and I still have a little bit to go so I'm a little nervous.
Not a whole lot more going on other than anticipating Lexi's arrival. I am hoping to find out on the 20th of this month if I will for sure be induced on August 4th. If I am then I am going to take August 3rd off that Monday and get everything ready and wrap up a few things that I might not have time to do between now and the time the baby comes. Brad and I are really excited about our 12 weeks off, August will be pretty crazy but September we should be able to relax and enjoy more! We planned her baby dedication to be August 30th at our church so that will be a big day for her. Anyone is welcome to come, its going to be an amazing day giving her back to the Lord (the one who gave her to us). I will be posting lots of pics.
Even though I won't be 100 percent sure until the 20th I am starting my work count down....only 19 days left!! :)
