32 Weeks!

How far along: 32 weeks! 

Gender: Little GIRL!

Weight gain: Still sitting at about 18 lbs.

Maternity clothes: Yup. And I barely fit into those anymore. 

Stretch marks: Nope! I've been lucky!

Belly button in or out: Know how I said I didn't think it was gonna pop out? Well, I'm eating my words. It's just about all the way out. And good thing I took out my belly rings, cause omg, the scars from them are sooooo stretched out. You can kinda see evidence of this in the above pictures.

Wedding rings on or off: Still on. No swelling!

Sleep: I haven't gotten a full night of sleep for a couple weeks. I'm awake just about every hour, either to pee or to switch positions. The hip pain will wake me up if my bladder doesn't and I have to flip over to the other side (which is a task in itself) until I wake up from the pain on that side and have to flip back over. 

Symptoms: Still really bad heartburn. I just keep a jumbo size bottle of Tums in my purse at all times. The hip pain and I'm getting really bad pain in my lower back (sciatica). 

Best moment this week: I started doing baby girl's laundry and got her crib bedding all washed and put in her crib! Ken and I also put together her swing and bouncer. Exciting! We also got 3D pics of her done on Saturday, so we actually got an idea of what she looks like!

I think she looks like me. ;)

Miss anything: Spicy food, sandwiches, an occasional beer. Whenever Ken has a beer, I'll take a teeny sip just to taste it and get sad cause I can't have any more. :( A full night of sleep, the ability to go longer than half an hour without peeing. 

Movement: She's crazy. We found out at the ultrasound that she is head down, so all the wedging under my ribs are her feet. She likes to SSTTRREETTCCCHHHH out and I feel her everywhere. Her kicks are starting to get painful. I've had two or three that I've had an audible reaction to. And she still has two months to go! I'm in trouble. 

Cravings: Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. I made brownies at 9 pm the other night, haha. I'm eating one as I type this. 

Looking forward to: Getting her nursery put together! That will need to happen soon... I've got her crib put together and all the diapers from the shower all organized, and gotten some blankets washed, so it's coming along. :) 

We did our hospital tour last Monday, which made everything so real. The rooms at St. Rose are amazing! They're completely private and have pull out beds for dads and private bathrooms and are huuuggeeeeeee. They totally promote immediate skin to skin, so when baby comes out, she goes directly on your chest and stays there (unless you're against it and want her washed before the skin to skin) until she can regulate her body temperature. I really like that as I wanted to do that anyway. They are also super pro breastfeeding, so I'm hoping with their help, I'll be able to get the hang of it quickly. They made me feel really comfortable and I'm looking forward to giving birth there! 

I also had my baby shower, thanks to Nolen, Missy and my mom and it was AMAZING! I'll try to put together a separate post for that soon. :)
