32 weeks.... EIGHT MONTHS

"What's up with your baby? He's starting to get ready for his big debut, tipping the scales at almost four pounds and topping out at just about 19 inches. In these past few weeks, it's all about practice, practice, practice as he hones the skills he'll need to thrive outside the womb — from swallowing and breathing to kicking and sucking. And speaking of sucking, your little one has been able to suck his thumb for a while now. Something else to note: As more and more fat accumulates under your baby's skin, he's becoming less transparent and more opaque."

How far along? 32 Weeks


Maternity clothes? Yes, still mixing stretchy pre-pregnancy stuff with maternity clothes...

Sleep: Pretty good, I definitely am SO happy to have that body pillow... without it I'd be one unhappy camper lol

Best moment this week: Getting the nursery set up!!! I am so obsessed with it!!! :-D

Miss Anything? Oh gosh, lunchmeat, hard cider, laying on my stomach, being able to turn over without it being a huge debacle, sushi, coffee, being able to breathe normally... I am so excited to have my body back within a few weeks (and baby in my arms)

Movement: Hiccups everyday, baby pushing body parts against my belly, lots of kicks and elbows and he loves punching my belly button lol.

Food cravings: Sweets lately, and fruit. I want cantaloupe SO bad!!!! Haven't heard from the doctor about the screening so hoping no news is good news? Should find out for sure on Thursday. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really but still ground hamburger makes me want to gag. Though burgers and meatloaf sound amazing! I just can't LOOK at the meat when I'm eating burgers and it works out great lol

Gender: Sweet (and active) baby boy

Symptoms: Heartburn again!!!! Makes me not even want to eat sometimes... Otherwise I definitely have back and hip aching at night and sciatica problems if I do too much.

Belly Button in or out? Still flat but it pokes out a bit each time when he punches it haha!

Wedding rings on or off? On, and not any tighter than before.... everyone keeps saying that I'm thinning out above the bump, but still growing round the middle lol!, My day was made when a stranger asked me when I was due and then said "oh wow! You look great!!" when I told her it was the end of next month hehe 

Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY :) I'm soooo excited to meet our little guy, I literally am chomping at the bit to put him in his fleece elephant nightie-onesie and just sit and cuddle him and just stare at him in wonder haha :) Strangely I am also looking forward to the changing and burping and less nice aspects. I'm ready to start doing it and get comfortable with it and get the 'firsts' done (first time getting peed on, pooped on, puked on....etc) lol

Looking forward to: Maternity pictures this week, the next OB appointment, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, decorating and of course.... MEETING BABY! :-D
