32 WEEKS

++ PREGNANCY UPDATE

i am officially 32 weeks almost 33 in two days. 

time is just flying by! everyone keeps telling me how much

it will drag on in the third trimester...  but it hasn't for me yet.

it probably will when i get a little closer to my due date.

we just have so much left to do and get ready for that i am very preoccupied. 

don't get me wrong i am hurting and aching and very much ready to be done but also 

i will miss our little baby boy wiggling around in my tummy. 

christian and i are so excited to meet our little guy. he is going to be here

before we even know it. christian keeps telling me, " it is going by sooooo slow, 

i want to meet him already" i have to laugh because he isn't the one that has to 

deal with the sickness and the swelling and the back pain and braxton hicks and 

most importantly getting FAT. and for me time is still at a fast pace, but i am working

and staying busy so i think that is why it feels like weeks go by and then

i'm like, "woah! its already the end of  October, WHAT??" i think from here on out though it

is going to get rough i can feel my body every day just get more and more tired and i know

i will be like its time, i'm done, throwing in the towel. i think i will miss being pregnant though,

i know i must be weird i don't know. December will come soon enough though and i'm so excited

 i can't even tell you how much excitement there is to meet him here in 8 weeks or less.. ah.

oh.. and lets just be real about how i was feeling this last weekend....

i have my moments. 

How far along? 32 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 23 pounds

Maternity clothes?  a few  but i am just getting so big that all my shirts now do not fit over my belly. big sweaters are going to save my life the next couple months that and my 'stretchy pants' (nacho libre voice)

Stretch marks? i have gotten pretty lucky in that area. just a few on my hips that i think will fade away. cocoa butter i tell you it works wonders, at least it has for me, which i am very very thankful for.

Sleep: i just don't? what is sleep anymore? who knows? this will forever be my life, i know i know i know. 

Best moment this week: not a lot to report this week so far. oh one new thing that is happening is hiccups and they happen at 

least twice a day now. i love it! 

Movement : he has always been so wiggly from as early as 15 weeks when i first felt him but this last week i think he is just getting 

big and room is getting limited, so they are not as crazy as usual but still there. a lot of kicks to the ribs and jabs in the bladder.  

Miss Anything? being comfortable. i also cannot wait to sleep on my stomach.

Food cravings: popsicle's, slushies, and crunchy ice

Anything making you queasy or sick:  raw meet, and gross smells.

Have you started to show yet: i'm huge are you kidding me. 

Gender: BOY

Labor Signs:  just braxton hicks. my body wants me to practice for labor i guess.. last night was horrid  worst ones i have had yet

Belly Button in or out?  still in. but it is so funny looking. christian and i laugh at it all the time. 

Wedding rings on or off? off  how sad is that  my ring doesn't fit me anymore :( i'm a swollen mess. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: it varies. 

Looking forward to: a shower that my mother in law and sister in law are throwing me this weekend. and my dr.s appointment next week

i always love to hear his heartbeat. 

yay for making it this far and only a little left to go till our whole lives will change and never be the same again.

i can't wait.
