Week 32 Bumpdate!

Profile pic!

Mommy and Peanut :)

How far along? 32 weeks, only 8 more to go :)

Baby size: last week as a winter squash; approx. 2.5-3.8 lb and 15-17 inches

Maternity clothes: Couldn't live without them.

Stretch marks: Nothing new and exciting.

Sleep: comes and goes, not horrible if my leg cramps stay at bay.

Gender: G-I-R-L!

Best moments of the week: Going to the doctor and finding out Peanut is developing right on schedule. She measured at 32 weeks, HR was 150 bpm. Dr. Ball joked that you would have thought I just drank my sugar drink for my glucose test again. Gained 4 lbs, which wasn't to bad considering the swelling I've experienced this week. Right at 24 lbs total, which is awesome compared to what I gained with Meredith. Dr. Ball said that she is head down with her face towards my back. Either her knees or bottom are pushing out at my left side she said :) I found Peanut the cutest little gift this week for Meredith to give to her sissy when she comes to see her at the hospital. It's a little security blanket with elephants all over it. So adorable :) Also found a cute little photo album to put pics of my two girls in. Oh and some thank you notes for any gifts we receive after Peanut is born.

Looking forward to: working more on Meredith's big girl room. She is getting so excited about changing her room!

What I miss: my energy level and being able to sit/lie/stand/move comfortably.

Movement: Constantly!

Food Cravings: Starbucks! I can't get enough of their venti Carmel frappe :) Trying to limit my intake, but they are just so good!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing particular, just get sick whenever the mood strikes me :(

Labor signs: nothing intense, I can tell though that my body is already starting to prepare for the laboring process.

Symptoms: my energy level decreases more and more each week. I've started having menstrual like cramping too. Back aches if I stand or walk to much at one time. Oh and leg cramps like you wouldn't believe. Hardly slept any on Saturday night because I kept waking up to horrific leg cramps several times an hour :/

Belly button in or out? Even with the rest of my belly.

Wedding rings on or off? On, but I take them off it I start feeling really swollen.

Mood: getting more and more excited the closer my due date gets.

Nursery: Finally got the majority of the stuff out of Meredith's big girl room. Going to work on painting the trim this next weekend. Hopefully we can get Meredith moved in by the end of the month and we can get to work on personalizing the nursery for Peanut :)

I am really starting to feel huge this week.....

Growing and growing......
