Week #32


How far along: 32 weeks. I feel smaller and less round the last two weeks and more just... wide? If that makes sense. Looking back at the last 4-5 weeks.. I look and feel smaller. But I'm filling out on top of my belly button verses it being all low. 
Total weight gain: 30lbs up total. 
Maternity clothes: Most of the time. I still live in my yoga pants. I feel like I shouldn't buy anymore maternity clothes because I'm getting close to delivering but I'm going to have to buy some tank tops and short sleeved shirts.. It's getting really hot and humid out here in TN and I'm one sweaty moma!
Stretch marks: My belly is as pretty as it was before being pregnant. lol. My sides? Still tiny pink marks. Very light. They don't even show up on the camera..I'd like it to stay that way but If I do get them, It's the least of my worries. I don't show my body off anyways and it shows I had a beautiful baby in my belly. 
Sleep: I'll be honest, it's getting worse and worse every week. I still get up to pee about 4 times a night which I really don't mind. It's the heartburn, constant thirst, and I just can't breathe. But mostly I cannot get comfortable. I've always been a belly sleeper but obviously since being pregnant, My only choices are my sides. My hips from laying on the constantly hurt so bad.. So I can't fall asleep! I feel like sleeping in the glider in the nursery. lol. 
Best moment of this week: I feel like I say this every week but BABY SHOPPING. I got two Cloud B products which have great reviews and the Tranquil Turtle is the #1 toy for 2013.. It's more of a night light than a toy. I got two diaper pail liners from Planet Wise and some organic all natural wipe solution for baby's bum. No chemical's for this family! 
Grandma's El's is the most recommended rash cream safe for cloth diapers so I bought a jar of it.. I love that Target sells it! 
And of course, the most freakin' expensive muslin swaddlers - Aden and Anais.. I bought a 4 pack. Perfect for Summer. So excited to get these in the mail and see why is everyone raving about these. 
I bought a 1 second ear thermometer. I don't see trying to hold a fussy baby down with the old fashion ones that take forever to get a temp, so we got this one.. I'll be the judge and see if it really only takes 1 second. If it doesn't, I'm taking the sucker back!
Okay, this is the second Cloud B product I splurged on. It's the Cloud B Sleep Sheep. (Four Soothing Sounds: Mother's 
Heartbeat, Spring Showers, Ocean Waves and Whale Songs
Don't tell Jared that each of these were over $30...The 
turtle and the sheep. But so worth it right?
And Lastly, I bought two packs of free and clear 7th generation(the most organic disposables i could find) that I was recommended to use just till the meconium stage is over with since it'll stain the cloth diapers really bad. Soo... I just bought two packs.. hopefully that's enough and we can start the cloth diapers after <3 


Miss anything: Being about to breath and just in general.. doing more. I get so out of breath and I feel like a bum just sitting around doing the minimum when I want to clean, organize, bake, and be more active. I can't! 
Movement: SO much movement still. It's more rolling movement and crazy thumping around. Jared and I are hoping for a soccer player.. like Jared back in his days. lol. 
Food cravings: Sherbert. Fruity things.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: The toilet. lol. Jared get's to clean the bathrooms now!
Have you started to show yet: Indeed.
Gender: Boy!!
Labor signs: Nope!
Belly button in or out: It's weird to describe. It's flat with my stomach. So it's not in.. but not poking out yet. 
Wedding rings on or off: Off. Fingers are just swollen. And now my feet are too. It's been off for months.Sorry Jared. 
Happy or moody most of the time: Anxious. I'm in the nursery all the time and vacuuming over and over again in there. I'm still waiting on the custom curtains to be shipped that match his bedding....and hopefully I'll do a nursery tour.. I know some people are waiting for that ever so patiently. lol.
Looking forward to: Just my son being here. I want to have a beautiful natural birth and labor with no complications and be home with my husband, baby and sister just cooing over a freshly new baby!! 
Oh And If I wanted to be selfish for a minute, my birthday is on the 8th. And I'm very excited to get my external flash and portrait lens for my Canon Rebel. Gotta get this stuff before baby arrives.. hello precious newborn photos. 

32 weeks pregnant

"At 32 weeks, baby’s birth still seems kind of far away, but you and baby are physically ready in a lot of ways, just in case there’s an early arrival. Baby may have turned so she’s in the head-down position by now, poised for her trip down the birth canal. And you may have noticed your nipples looking darker. That’s so a preemie can see them for breastfeeding -- isn't your body so amazing? Intensity might be building in the symptoms department, as heartburn and contractions intensify around week 32. But we’re guessing you’re so excited about baby’s impending arrival, they’re not slowing you down much." - TheBump.com
Your baby's the size of a squash!
Still growing, your baby weighs in at about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds and measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches.


your baby at 32 weeks
  • She's getting ready for her descent -- she's likely in the head-down position now.
  • And she's probably feeling a even more cramped.
