32 Week Pregnancy Update

 

 

How far along? 32 Weeks! I cannot believe I am already 32 weeks pregnant. At this point in my pregnancy with my 3rd, I was in preterm labor and hospitalized! So glad that hasn't happened this time and I am hoping it doesn't happen at all.

Total weight gain/Measurements? Still up only 8 pounds! woohoo

Maternity clothes: I am living in my husband's basketball shorts and maternity camis. I live in Arizona and it is hot. My belly is so low that even maternity jeans that are too big are hurting me. I'm picking comfort over style!

Stretch marks: No new ones. All my damage was done by my 1st big ol baby. I am putting Burts Bees Mama Bee Oil on every night though to help with the itching. And this baby is all out in front!

Sleep: Using my pregnancy pillow this week for the first time and it is heavenly. I really needed the support at this point in my pregnancy. My baby is all out front and super low. The pelvic pain is NOT going to go away, so I am finding ways to deal with it.

Best moment this week: Getting the office done! We have been working on organizing the office for the past few days now and it is such a relief. It was a huge task on my do before baby list. I also washed my very first load of baby clothes in Dreft! Oh my goodness, they smell amazing. I washed all the 0-3 boy outfits we have and put them in a bin until we get some drawers.

Movement: Lots of rolls and jabs from elbows and knees!

Food cravings: Tastykakes! And watermelon still.

Anything making you sick? No! No sickness at all this pregnancy! woohoo!

Gender: Still don't know. My OB consult appointment and ultrasound got cancelled because my insurance had not approved it. My midwife didn't want me getting an over $1000.00 bill(For a CONSULT!) in the mail. I have no idea what is happening with that, but I have a midwife appointment on Monday, April 29th and I guess we will figure it out then.

Labor signs: Nothing! Thank goodness we aren't having a repeat of Josie's nightmare!

Symptoms:  Pubic symphesis, trouble sleeping, hot flashes. I can tell I am nearing the end and need to take it easy. The only problem with that is, I have a TON to do!

Belly button in or out?  Definitely out and I hate it. I don't think it's ugly but it's so uncomfortable. It seems like June Bug is always poking it out more. Creeps me out!

Wedding rings on or off? On! I have never had to take them off before :)

Happy or Moody Most of the time? Hormonal and impatient lol but I AM happy.

Most looking forward to: Talking to my midwife about what is going on with these darn maternal specialists.
