32 Weeks

How far along: 32 Weeks 6 Days


Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m still up 2lbs. but under starting weight

Maternity Clothes: I’m surprisingly still managing to throw in some normal shirts that were long to begin with.

Stretch Marks: So apparently I never thought to lift up my belly. OMG they were attacking from below while I had naively thought I was safe.

Sleep: I’m up to pee at least 3 times at night so I don’t sleep real good until morning when there isn’t much left to pee anymore.

Movement: I think I feel hiccups more than anything else now and they will last at least 10-15 minutes.

Food Cravings/Aversions: Nothing new I suppose and I can’t think of anything that I just had to have besides just chocolate in general.

Gender: Girl

Belly Button In or Out: Still very close to flat but I don’t think it’s going to pop out either

What I Miss: I’m starting to miss human interaction thru the day. I actually carried on a conversation with a complete stranger at Walmart today. Then I got sick at the chiropractor because I laid on my belly for too long. I think I scared the poor lady to death and she sat and fanned me for a while.

What I am Looking Forward To: Finishing up the curtains in the nursery.

Weekly Wisdom: Even though I would be too embarrassed to ride the motorized cart in Walmart I’ve learned that I’ve now hit the point where I may have to sit and rest about half way thru shopping because I got way too tired.

Best Moment This Week: Getting one of the curtains done for the nursery. I’m very pleased since I did it with no sewing machine and no pattern. However I am going to borrow Mama’s sewing machine so I can finish everything in a timely manner because one panel was an all day project.

How your baby's growing:

By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (although all my other sources say up to 4 1/2 lbs) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
