It's Getting Close!

Started my NSTs (non-stress tests) this week. I go twice a week for 30 minute sessions where they monitor baby Joy's heartbeat and fetal movement. I love hearing her heartbeat. It kinda makes me fall asleep. I'm also enjoying these 30 minute sessions all to my mama self. Even though I'm strapped to a chair, it's nice to just lay there and do absolutely nada! NSTs is yet another reminder that it's getting close! 

Ryder J and I have been spending these mornings snuggling on the couch. I think he knows something's up because he's been a lot more cuddly lately. They say sibling a can sense the approaching arrival of their baby brother/sister and I totally believe it. 

He likes to use his sissy as a pillow. She kicked him earlier today and he looked up at me like I had done something. 

We had a play date this afternoon with our cousin Skylar, but before she came Ryder took a gnarly fall to the corner of our kitchen cabinets. My heart dropped the second I saw him trip. Thankfully, no blood or open wounds but he's sure got a battle wound on his forehead. Just in time to sport his toughness for pictures with the Easter bunny. 

Daddy came home from work early to play Mr. Potato head with Ryder J and he's suddenly feeling much better! "Look, I'm Picasso!" 

32 weeks, 2 days. My ankle/foot bones are still visible so we've got some time but it's definitely getting close!
