32 weeks - 6 to go

Me and my belly:

My face is getting fatter not only because of my water weight, but because I'm congested a lot. My allergies make me look like I just cried or I'm tired all the time. But it's cool...

And here is who will be my first born baby boy:

This is his face - side profile. They are getting so squished that only one would cooperate. But we got this beautiful picture yesterday, which I'm happy about because we always get a good picture of the second baby and now I can see how beautiful this guy is too.

He is 3 lb 10 oz.  Baby B is 4 lb 2 oz.
I've got almost 8 lbs of baby inside me.

Latest symptoms:
> Carpal tunnel (from all the fluid in my body)
> Braxton Hicks contractions
> Sharp pains in my cervix from this little guy above pushing his head down there all the time!
>Using Those Shopping Carts That You Drive Syndrome (That's not a real syndrome, I made it up. But I do use them).
> Vivid dreams... I've heard about this and thought, 'Sure, no big. My dreams are weird enough already.' Nope. Freaking crazy, usually terrifying, all night long dreams. They are scary, but they tend to end pretty neutral. Or maybe I just die, I don't know. And sometimes throughout them, a random boy from my past (before Dave) will ride by on a bike or be in the audience of my dream or something and I'm like oh hey.
Some subjects include:
--Killer whales (one of the scariest creatures EVER)
--Dinosaurs (what I used to have nightmares about constantly as a child because I couldn't stop watching Jurassic Park)
--Battling Arnold Schwarzenegger with another pregnant girl (Fun? No, scary)
--Going back to my last job for a day and them not letting me leave (shudder)

And then Dave has a nightmare about people handing him babies and he keeps dropping them...
That seems to make more sense to me.
