32 Weeks

Happy Mother's Day!  I am so grateful and blessed to have such an awesome mom in my life!  I am really looking forward to asking her for all kinds of advice once the Little Dude gets here.  My mom was a really great example for me and all four of my siblings and I can't imagine life without her.  I hope that I can be half as good as she was for Baby M!

Happy Mother's Day!  I can't to be able to celebrate with the Little Guy next year!

This week was an exciting week for me because it was the last week that I was going to be working.  I have really enjoyed my job over the last two years but at this point in my pregnancy I was just really uncomfortable and the kindergarten chairs were really making my back hurt so I was very ready to be finished.  I was planning on working Monday-Wednesday and then Friday was supposed to be my last day(I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday).  My patient ended up being out of school on Tuesday-Friday so things ended a little faster than I was expecting.  I will miss my job but I am looking forward to really having time to get ready for the Little Man's arrival over the next few weeks!

32 Weeks

I had my 32 week doctor's appointment this week and everything is still looking great!  I got to hear the Little Guy's heartbeat and ask a bunch of questions about delivery which was exciting because it means we are nearing the due date!  I have been very blessed with an easy pregnancy so my appointments are usually pretty fast.  I didn't have an ultrasound but the doctor was fairly sure Baby M is head down so now we just need him to stay that way!  We have less than two months to go now :)

We got a bunch of presents for Baby M this week!  Thanks everyone!

Now onto the regular update:

How far along: 32 weeks
Baby is the size of a:  Honeydew
Total Weight Gain: 18 lbs

Maternity Clothes: yes but a lot of my regular dresses still work

Sleep: I wake up to go to the bathroom at least once a night but sleep has still been going really well.  I have my fingers crossed that this will last as long as possible!

Best Moment of the Week: Hearing Baby M's heartbeat :) 

Miss Anything: Being able to sit comfortably without getting kicked in the ribs

Movement: He has been extremely active this week.  He still likes my ribcage a lot.  He also likes to kick the floor if I am laying on my side which looks and feels pretty strange to me!

Food Cravings: Strawberries!  I ate at least 3 pounds of strawberries this week.  I can't seem to get enough of them!

Symptoms: I use the bathroom constantly and get uncomfortable if I try to stay in any one position for too long but I have still been having a pretty easy time with no heartburn or swelling.

Labor Signs: Nope!

Belly Button In or Out: In but definitely strange looking and depending on how Baby M is positioned sometimes it looks ready to pop out.

Looking Forward To: Spending some time organizing the nursery and getting some projects done this week.
