Week 32

We are now 8 weeks away. Thank the Lord! It really has been a good week, so I am not complaining, but I will be glad to be all done. Thanksgiving is over! On to Christmas and New Years and then we're there! It was a fine thanksgiving other then Emma throwing multiple fits and having to get spanked 4 times. Wow. What a kid. I also felt like a whale, but, truth to tell, I kind of look like one too, so there is that.  :) 

Week : 32

What I love: I don't know. Uhm.  I love that it's the end of November. I love That this is the last time I will be 32 weeks pregnant. Oh I love that I like my back up OBGYN. He was super calm and down to earth, and I really liked him. So THAT'S good. Uhm I love getting adjusted at the chiropractor, but I don't get to go much. Like this last time was the first time all pregnancy. SOOO oh well. 

What I hate: Tiredness. I'm so tired. All. the. time. But oh well. I hate that my hands are cracking and they hurt. I also really don't like that I can't wear my ring. Bummer. 

What I miss: Life. I miss not being pregnant. I miss being able to chase my husband around outside and running with my kids and bending over to grab something without groaning and having lots of clothes to choose from. It will be really nice when this is over. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: I think, that would be having the labor and delivery over and not having to think about it anymore. Ever. That is really going to be awesome. 

Sleep: It's not as great as it was, but I am still able to sleep a lot. I do wake up more and the other day it literally took me 3 hours to fall back asleep. That sucked. But I slept a lot the next night, so that's all to the good. 

Bra Size: C

Wedding rings on or off: Off. BUT I ordered my ring wrap! YEAH! It's beautiful and I can't wait to get it! 

Weight: 171 or 173 if you go by the Dr. scale. Which I DON'T!   Weight Gain: 28 lbs. Oh well. It looks like I will end up more at the 40 mark then the 35. Whatev. 

Worries: I'm still concerned about labor, as I think most women are, but I don't really have many worries. And if I do, I like to not fixate on them. 

Developments: 
I am starting to have a harder time with sleeping on my back. If she's up high, she pushes on my diaphragm and I can't breath at night. Not cool.  My pelvis is getting a bit more achy, but I do have almost 30 lbs hanging around that isn't normally there and so that's really not surprising. I am still moving well and not in a bunch of pain, so I'm pretty happy. 

Things of Interest: 

I liked the Dr. like I said, and feel really good about the back up plan, though I of course, hope not to have to use it. I keep hoping that it will be my "easiest" birth despite the fact that birth won't be easy, but it would be nice. I also really want to go early. (Doesn't everyone?) But don't have a ton of faith for it. I felt like I would for a really long time, but I don't have the "feeling" anymore so who knows. Plan for 41 weeks and then I'll be pleasantly surprised if it happens sooner. 

Mood: Good. Cranky at times, but really, when you're as pregnant as I am, that can't be surprising. I don't feel unhappy or angry or ready to go nuts, so that's good. 

Movement: She's been hurting me none stop. I think her is all elbows and feet and knees. I'm a little weary of the jabs.  

The belly (and the button!): Obviously.  

Measurements: Chest:  Waist:   Midsection: 41.5  Hips: 42! What?!??  Thighs: 

Exercise: What with Fbx and Thanksgiving, I only got 4 days. But I am still exercising at a good intensity at 32 weeks, so I'm pretty happy. 

Eating: I had sugar during the week because of all the holiday stuff, but still not horrible. 

The weekly pics: 

Hair: Some babies have a full head of hair by this point; others have only peach fuzz.

Toenail: Your baby's fingernails and toenails have now grown in.

Uterus: With your uterus pushing up near your diaphragm and putting pressure on your abdomen, you may be dealing with heartburn more often or feeling a little short of breath.

And me.
