32 Weeks!!!!!

June 7th-June 13th

How Far Along: 32 weeks!!!  Only 5 more weeks until full term and 8 until due date!

Size of baby: By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus.

My baby this week:   You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.

Sleep: Still dealing with the sinus infection, which is making sleep more elusive. Still getting up at least twice to pee. 

Best Moment of the Week:  Making it to 8 months! 

Movement: Baby boy is still moving lots but not as crazy as before as he is getting so big now. 

Food cravings: I really don't have much of an appetite these days. Eating is a chore. 

Gender: BOY!!!!!!

What I Miss: A nice cold beer on a hot day. 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Seeing how much baby has grown in these last two weeks! 

Milestones: Making it to 32 weeks. Now he just has to fatten up before he's born! 

Emotions: Feeling like this is taking forever and that it is going so fast at the same time. 

Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, cramps, round ligament pain, shortness of breath, pelvic pain, heartburn.
