32 weeks ~ 8 months!!

Size of a squash

How far along? 32 weeks

Total weight gain:

24 pounds total

Maternity clothes? 

Maternity. I had to retire my non-maternity swimsuit this weekend it was a sad day because it is way cuter than my maternity one. 

Stretch marks? 

Nope!

Sleep: 

Great! Needing more and more sleep lately. I was super tired this week.

Best moment this week: 

Learning that Jackson is head down and ready to go! Seeing him in there moving around.

Miss Anything? 

Wearing regular clothes/going shopping. Handling the heat better.

Movement: 

He is very active right before I go to bed. He had a foot pressed up against my stomach and if I rubbed it, he would kick. Jamie got to feel some of them so that was cool! Jamie also got to feel the hiccups! 

Food cravings: 

Hamburgers, fruit, dill chips- I just ran out this could be a problem. Water with ICE. This has been really consistent since I got pregnant and I was never a big ice person before. So weird! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: 

Chicken

Gender: 

BOY!

Labor Signs:

More braxton hicks.

Symptoms: 

Swelling and being uncomfortable. This heat is killing me. It seems like the second I start swelling my mood goes out the door. It was a tough weekend for sure. 

Belly Button in or out? 

Almost completely out! 

Wedding rings on or off? 

Off in this heat yea right. In fact my fake ring that is 2 sizes bigger has gotten stuck on my fingers when we were at the beach.

Happy or Moody most of the time: 

Ohhh this week irritated. For some reason the thought of 8-9 more weeks seems unbearable. I blame the heat.

Looking forward to: 

The Baby Shower!! 

Workout:

Same as usual. 

Reading:

Nada.

Checklist: Done

• Made final decision on the pediatrician of course now I think I might have changed my mind...
• Ordered a couple more things we needed.
• Bought the last frame we needed for his room.
• Contacted a doula
• Had our last ultrasound
• Started our child birth classes

To do: Decide about a doula, buy- ceiling fan, conversion kit, going home outfit for Jackson, write the birth plan, organize the bathroom/make room for Jackson’s stuff, finish  packing the hospital bag

Worries:

A little concerned that he is measuring small but I know he has plenty of time to catch up!  Apparently I do need newborn size clothing! 

Doctor appointment: Showed he is in the 43rd percentile- approximately and weighs about 3.14 pounds. They are estimating that he will be around 7 pounds. The doctor said it’s nothing to worry about. He has hair!! And sweet cubby cheeks on the ultrasound. It looked like a large nose... (blame Jamie I kid I kid). This ultrasound we both spent the whole time confused on what we are looking at- it was much easier when he was smaller. And his face picture looks like a skeleton.. hahah we were both a little disappointed with this one.  He is head down!! Whoohoo so that is great news! I go back in two weeks. 

8 more weeks!!

5 more weeks until he is full term!!
