Week 32

Date: 8/8/15

 

Maternity clothes: I'm mostly in maternity clothes, but I'm surprised that I still have a few shirts and yoga pants that  fit me.  

Stretch Marks: Not yet.

Sleep:Sleep has been surprisingly good this week.  I was camping all week and I expected to have some difficulty sleeping, but I slept quite well.  I usually woke up with a slight backache, but it didn't affect my sleeping.  

 

Best moment of the week:  I can't really pick a best moment, as camping this past week was a lot of fun in general.  I did really enjoy swimming this week though.  The campground has a pool and I was able to go swimming nearly every day I was there.   I felt so weightless in the water.  I also enjoyed time around the campfire with my family.  I didn't go home all week and I didn't have to cook at all this week, due to an arrangement we had with my cousin, so I had minimal responsibility.:)

 

Movement:  I think baby boy is losing a little room.:)  His butt or some other body part is jammed up in my ribs most of the time, but yet I'm still having some pelvic pain so he is using up most of the space available to him.  I continue to feel lots of movement and hiccups and I enjoy feeling him move around.

Cravings:  Nothing new or different

Gender: Boy!  

Anything making you queasy/sick: Nope

What I miss:  I'm starting to miss being limber.  It's becoming increasingly difficult to bend over and turn over in bed and many other things.  I'm still enjoying being pregnant, but I will be ready for him to come in two months.  

 What I’m looking forward to:  I'm starting to really look forward to baby's arrival.  Now that all of my vacations are done, I'm starting to feel ready for him to get here.  I can't wait to see what he looks like and what his temperament is like.  I'm also looking forward to getting the nursery done.  Nate still has a lot of junk to clear out of the room and I can't wait to get it all cleared out and make it look like a baby's room. 

Symptoms: Baby's constant movement and my growing belly are my most reliable symptoms.  I had another moment this week when I didn't have much water to drink after I woke up in the morning and I got lightheaded.  I laid down and felt fine within an hour, but it was a good reminder to stay hydrated. 

Emotions:  I'm  feeling really good at the moment. I had a great week camping, but it also felt good to come home.  I'm ready to do some nesting.:)
