32 - 8 weeks to go!

how far along?  32 weeks

how are you measuring? Right at 32 weeks according to our last appointment.

size of baby? According to WTE, Jude should be anywhere from 17-19 inches long and weigh in around 4.5 lbs.

heartbeat? 157bpm at our 31 week appointment.

total weight gain/loss? + 16-19lbs. depending on when I weigh myself. The Dr.'s office "official" weigh in was +17lbs.

maternity clothes? Maternity pants and mostly maternity shirts, I can wear some regular shirts if they're longer. This belly's getting harder to fit shirts all the way over.

stretch marks? None so far.
sleep? What is that? I take great naps during the day, but nights aren't the best for me. I feel like I just toss and turn or I'm trying to take something for my heartburn.

best moment this week?  My doctor said he'd see me in 3 weeks instead of 2 since I'm doing so well. We also got to meet our friends little boy, James. Robbie and Emily waited until he was born to find out the gender, so it was exciting to find out that Jude will have a friend so close in age!

movement? This guy's a mover at home, during church, in the car, and out at the grocery store. He's a turkey, though, and won't move for people who want to feel him. Sometimes you can push and feel that there's a body part up against my skin, but no big kicks or anything.

food cravings? Still ice water. 

what i miss:  Laying on my stomach, bending over, sleeping.

what i'm looking forward to: Working on the nursery with my mother-in-law this coming weekend. I'm also finishing up some Christmas gifts in an effort to be ahead of the game come December.

how are you feeling? Big, which is funny because even my doctor says I look small for how far along I am. (Which reminds me that I really should take a picture for this blog.) All of Jude's movements are fun, but can be really distracting and uncomfortable at work. But, overall I can't complain!
