32 weeks



Size of Baby: According to babycenter.com he weighs 3.75 lbs and he is about 16.7 inches long.  He now has toe nails, finger nails, and real hair.

Maternity Clothes: Loving some of my fall maternity clothes that we bought when we first found out we were pregnant.

Gender: It's a BOY!  

Belly Button In/Out: Pretty much flat... moving outward quickly...

 Stretch Marks: None so far... but I have a feeling they are coming.

Labor Signs: No more braxton hicks this week... praying labor stays away until December.

Movement: He moves all the time. He is getting bigger and more cramped all the time... I don't think he likes being cramped.

Sleep: Trying not to take up the whole bed with all my pillows, sometimes it is just hard to get comfortable.

What I miss: Eating whatever I want... more on that later.

What I am looking forward to: Getting his room all set up... notice the crib is up in the background of the picture!

Cravings/Aversions: I'm pretty boring these days...

Symptoms:  My fingers are still swelling... and now my feet and ankles too.  I feel like he has been sitting on my bladder lately... not fun!

Best Moment This Week: 
Getting to visit family out of town.  Also, getting his crib all set up!
