How Am I Feeling?: My hip has really been bothering me lately. It doesn't matter which side I lay on, it hurts no matter what. I've even had some trouble walking all week because it hurts. Other than that though, I'm still feeling pretty great.
Mood: Even more excited.
Clothes: I was really happy on Tuesday because I bought some new things. We had our birthing class on Tuesday and we usually stretch and sit on the floor etc. Last week, I had a hard time breathing while sitting on the floor so I really wanted some comfortable pants to wear other than sweat pants (which don't fit me too well anymore.) I am also outgrowing some of my maternity shirts and since I don't need to wear nice shirts to work anymore, I was looking for some comfy cotton shirts that would be long enough to cover my belly. We went to Target with the intention of buying dog food and looking at clothes for me. We walked in, bought dog food and a few other items and then we left. I didn't realize until we were in the car that we hadn't looked at any clothes. We had to go back in because our class was that night and I needed something to wear. I was able to find some comfy cotton capris that aren't maternity. The maternity tanks/tees that I was looking at were way too much for what I wanted to spend. We walked through the non maternity clothes and found some cotton tees on sale. They were long enough to fit me! I was so excited. I just bought one but I might go back for some more. We also went to Kohl's where I found a couple of maternity shirts on clearance. I looked through their cheap tanks/tees but they were all too short. :( I guess I'll have to stick with Target.
Sleep: I've been sleeping slightly better this week than I was last week. I bet I'll be sleeping wonderfully next week!
Cravings: none right now
Gender: girl
Movements: She's all over the place! I don't know how other people can't see my stomach contorting all day. I would think people would comment, but I guess no one is staring at my tummy as much as I do!
Belly Button: The top part of it is sticking out and you can see it through some of my shirts when I'm wearing my under belly pants. :( Get ready for the band-aids.
Best Moment This Week: ????
What I Miss: nothing!
What I am Looking Forward To: next week will probably be awesome. I wonder if I can convince Ben to call in sick next week. :D
Milestones This Week: none
How Big is Baby?: According to The Bump, the baby is the size of a honeydew.
Your Baby - 32 Weeks Pregnant
By now, you have all the amniotic fluid you are going to have and the amount will remain consistent until delivery. Your baby's brain continues to grow, and increase the size of his head. Your baby continues to develop fat deposits under the skin, changing the color of his skin from red to pink. If you're having a boy his testicles have moved from their location near the kidneys through the groin to the scrotum. If you are having a girl, her clitoris is relatively prominent. Your baby is approximately 17.5 inches long and weighs a little over four pounds now.
Okay, so I guess our baby is measuring a little big right now. My NP said she was about 5 lbs. I always like to hold a ruler up to my stomach to see just how long she is compared to my tummy. I always come to the same conclusion: There is no way she can fit! I know she's all curled up in a ball and even though she's 17.5 inches long, that doesn't mean she's laying all stretched out, but still. No wonder she kicks me all the time. How would you like to stay curled in a ball for months at a time? Not so comfortable!
I haven't posted a belly pic in a long time. I took some last night because sister Melissa really wanted to see one. (You can see some of our baby stuff in the background!)
I l-o-v-e that second picture. Hello Miss Duebber!
