33 weeks, Millie Invasion

I think it is safe to say that we have been taken over by a Millie Invasion.  No not alien, Millie!  Her things made their way out of our living room slowly over the last two weeks, but now seem like they have taken over every corner of the house!  I guess that's what to expect when a new life is about to join us.  Gosh, babies have STUFF!!!! I continue to slowly feel like I am more ready to have this baby, not physically of course, but ready around the house!  It is overwhelming to feel like you have a ton to do, but have little energy to get it done.  I think the third trimester fatigue is setting in. (Not at a very convenient time!) Here are a few pictures of the invasion.













Our doctor visits continue to be every other week and everything seems to be progressing as should be.  I always try, in the time between visits, to come up with some questions to ask the doc but I just never know what to ask.  All the doctors that I have seen have been really pleased with my health and size and Millie's heartbeat and reassure me that all looks well.  What questions should I be asking?  Any suggestions?  I guess at this point we need to make sure she is in position which they can do just by feeling my belly!  Kind of crazy.  (I like to assume I know which part of her body is trying to poke through, but who knows if I'm right or not!)  :) 

We are working hard at talking to the dogs about the upcoming new addition.  I wrapped a teddy bear up in one of the receiving blankets and put tons of baby powder on it and carry it around the house.  The dogs love to sniff it and are very curious as to what is inside.  We put the wrapped up "baby" in the rocker, the bouncer seat, the car seat and on the floor and the dogs a very willing to guard her as she is in each location.  I have read a lot about bring a baby into a home with dogs, so hopefully some of these little tricks will help out.  Here is a picture of Edison snuggling with his "baby sister."  :)  He was lying down and I set the "baby" next to him and he didn't move an inch as if he knew he had to be careful with the wrapped package.  He just keep looking at me wanting reassurance that he was doing the right thing.
