32 Weeks

Austin and I went to my 32 week appointment with Dr Tudder this morning.  My little buddy was such a good boy even though we had to wait about 45 minutes to see the doctor.  When he saw me sit on the table in the room he kept pointing to the doppler and my belly and saying "baby".  My smart little boy wanted to hear the baby.  Well he got his wish and the heartbeat sounded great at 147 BPM.  I told Dr T that his movement has been slowing down and he said that is normal at this stage of the game because he is running out of space.  He did say he is still head down and his feet are on my left side.  He also said that my belly is measuring right on track for 32 weeks.  Dr T doesn't do fundal measurements like some other doctors so I guess he just eyeballs it.  Here is a look at the 32 week belly.

32 weeks.  Getting the nursery ready.

How far along? 32 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: +23 lbs.  +2 lbs from my 29 week appt.  I am amazed it wasn't higher given all of the junk food I have been eating.  Chasing after a busy 2 year old is a pretty good work out.

Maternity Clothes? The torpedo belly is here.  Is it bad that some of my smaller maternity clothes don't fit now?  Ha

Stretch Marks? No

Sleep? Waking up to pee about every 1.5 to 2 hours.  Naps whenever I can.

Best moment this week:  Painting the stripes on the wall of the nursery.   Finally deciding on a double stroller.  I would say purchasing tiny little size 1 diapers for the new guy, but I have quickly decided that 2 kids in diapers is going to cost me a fortune.  Hello potty training.  

Food Cravings: Junk food.  I know it's bad.  Finally getting some MD crabs this weekend.  YUM!

Gender: Boy!

Belly Button in or out? You can see it through my clothes now.

 

What I am looking forward to:  Organizing all the clothes in drawers.  I love the smell of baby clothes.  I know you don't have to use Dreft, but I just love the smell so I buy it anyways.  

Putting the crib together.
