32 Weeks

How far along? 32 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss:  16 + lbs.
Maternity clothes?  No. Still haven’t stepped foot into a maternity clothes store. I just haven’t needed to yet. Still wondering about what will happen when I have to go back to work.
Stretch marks?  No.
Sleep: It is an up and down roller coaster. Sometimes I sleep really well, and others it is crappy. Still having crazy dreams and having to go to the bathroom up-teen times in the night.
Best moment this week: Helping to plan for my baby shower on Saturday. Also spending time with my husband this past week on vacation. Finally, nailing down some ideas and projects left for the baby’s room.

Have you told family and friends:  Yes.
Miss Anything?  My waist line (lol). Actually being able to lay out or be out in the sun without dying of heat. Also not having my legs, feet, and ankles swell while being out in the heat. (the beach did a number on em).
Movement:  He is much more active now. Jeffrey actually got to see him moving…we were not sure if it was a foot or a knee but he saw him rolling about in my belly. I love the look on his face when he feels his son move (I think it is a look I will never forget. Then, the way he looks at me because I am carrying his son.)
Food cravings: It is definitely back to the sweet stuff. I still can devour a container of cut up cantaloupe and strawberries and blueberries with or without dip. But I love my chocolate, and while I try to have sugar free, sometimes, like on vacation you just have to be bad and have that chocolate covered creamed filled donut warmed up for breakfast. (I only have this once a year on a vacation).
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Yeah, but I can’t pinpoint it. I woke up this morning feeling sick to my stomach thinking I thought you got morning sickness at the beginning of your pregnancy not at the end. I seemed to calm it with Sprite Zero (anyone can tell you that I do not drink sodas much-maybe 5 or less a year and usually only if I have to stop and get breakfast somewhere-like driving on a vacation) and a couple of Ritz crackers as my husband loves those little butter nibbles, and my pantry lacked the saltine kind of cracker because let’s face it-It is not soup weather!
Have you started to show yet:  Yes. It depends on my outfit. While at the beach, I did have a guy tell me I was having a boy, but then turned around and had two girls not have a clue I was even pregnant. So I guess it is all in the way I flaunt or hide the bump.
Gender:  BOY.
Labor Signs:  No although lots and lots of Braxton Hicks-some of them kind of painful.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy.
Weekly Wisdom:  Advice should be taken with a grain of salt. People will offer opinions and thoughts when you didn’t ask. People will tell you what they think you are doing right and what they think you are doing wrong. Just do what is best and most comfortable for you, your little family and the baby. If you don’t think that Huggies diapers are good, then don’t buy them no matter what someone else says. If you only want your little one in organic clothing, then that is what you buy. Again, do what is best and what feels right for you and the little one.
Looking forward to:  Finishing the nursery in the next couple of weeks. I have the last few touches ordered, and we have a few more projects to complete. My husband says we are tackling these on Sunday…lets cross our fingers that we get it done.
