Week 32

Merry Christmas! 

 7 weeks to go...

What is baby up to at 32 weeks?

• Baby is the size of a squash--weighs in at about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds and measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches.
• He's getting ready for his descent -- he's likely in the head-down position now.
• And he's probably feeling a even more cramped.

How is mama doing?  
Weight Gain: +0 lbs this week, weighing 111.4lbs, a total of 15 pounds gained this pregnancy
Exercise: Since the weather was so nice this past weekend, we were able to get out and go on a few double stroller walks!
Craving: Cookies...
Eating: Bagels, bananas, apples, chocolate, reese's trees (thanks Matt), shrimp, ham and brownies


Symptoms:

• Sleep: Still waking up 2 to 3 times a night to use the bathroom or just to get comfortable 
• Movement: BIG ROLLS and he is head down, which means my ribs are getting a lot of kicks!
• Out of breath: Walking up the stairs, walking and talking, or even if I am just telling a story
• Discomfort
• Heartburn
• Braxton Hicks: I have been getting these randomly throughout the day-- nothing painful though. 
• Veins: I forgot to mention this one last week, but the past couple weeks I have noticed sooo many lovely blue veins all over my stomach.

Random Facts:

• Swelling in my feet if I stand for more than 30 min.
• No stretch marks. I feel like I might get some by my belly button soon because I seem to be growing straight out this pregnancy
• Belly button is so far out that you can see it sticking out from the side ha ha!
• I am officially 8 months pregnant this week!

By the Number:

• Days until our next appointment: 9
• Days until our wedding anniversary/New year's eve: 6
• Days until c-section:49
• Total pounds gained:15

What I love: Even though they are painful a lot of the time, I am soaking up every roll and kick I feel. Like most women it is what I love the most about pregnancy.
Looking Forward To: Going to a friends wedding this weekend! It will be nice to enjoy some alone time with Matt and celebrate our upcoming wedding anniversary as well!

Off to enjoy our last Christmas as a family of 4!
