32 Weeks!!

32 weeks as of yesterday! Not much time for the ole blog this week. Such is life. But, don't want to miss too many of these weekly updates. So here goes....

How far along? 32 weeks

Size of the baby? 3.75 pounds and still about 16 or 17 inches long. The size of a large jicama, whatever in the world that is. Thanks Baby Center!

Maternity Clothes? SAME.

Stretch Marks? SAME. I just ran out of my first bottle of Bio Oil, must get more pronto. I picked up some “tummy butter” by Palmers and although it feels a little greasy I really like it, it feels like it works.

Movement? I feel like the movement has actually slowed down a bit lately, at least for me. It’s just a different kind of movement than it was. Not as many quick playful kicks and stuff I guess…it’s more like I actually feel her whole body rolling around in there.

Sleep? Ugh. Starting to get a bit of that “third trimester insomnia.” Why oh why must that happen when you need sleep the MOST? I just wake up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep for a bit. Not fun. Plain out RESTLESS.

Food Cravings? Nothing new to report.

What I Miss: Same as always with most stuff. I will say that over the past couple of months, the whole not drinking thing hasn't been that bad. I don't want to sound like an alcoholic, but it is just a hard/weird transition to go from being such a social drinker to NOT DRINKING AT ALL. I've finally gotten used to not having a drink at social events now though. It isn't a big deal to me anymore. Do I still want to get tipsy every once in a while over one too many glasses of wine? YES. But, it took me a while to not feel awkward at a party because I wasn't drinking and that feeling has definitely gone now. I miss being able to lay on the couch for a bit and not having an achy back when I get up. This is really the only time my back hurts...first thing in the morning when I get out of bed and if I lay on the couch for a couple of hours. It just gets stiff I guess. Still miss a full, fun wardrobe and buying new trendy pieces for it. I'm still shocked by how much "non maternity" I can wear, but I still have to be picky/careful. I haven't looked at any fun dresses this season and that has been weird! So ready to get this pregnancy weight off now so I can get back in my fun clothes! Just in time for spring:) *yeah....i hope it'll be that fast, ha!*

Symptoms: little swelling, back pain, not much else to report. Still feeling really good for the most part.

Best Moment of the Week? 8 weeks to go! My dad is coming this weekend to install the built in bookshelf he made, and I cannot wait. It is gorgeous. We also had our first gift arrive in the mail from a friend yesterday. I guess they won't be able to make it to the shower, so that was fun!!
