Pregnancy Highlights: Week 32 (8 Months)

DUE DATE: July 16, 2013

SIZE OF BABY: According to Baby Center, baby should weigh about 3.75 lbs and be about ~17 inches long. My belly measured at 32 cm as of last Fridays appointment, and she is in the head down position (hopefully she stays that way!).

WEIGHT GAIN: 23 lbs total as of my 31 week prenatal checkup.

MATERNITY CLOTHES: I know some people despise being pregnant in the Spring/Summer but I honestly love it (so far) because I can wear maxi dresses all the time, so comfy!!

MOVEMENT: She isn't super active but she moves the most when I am right next to daddy — I don't know if it's because she is going to be a daddy's girl like Miss L or if it's just his deep voice startling her LOL.

SLEEP: What's that? Screw you, $69 body pillow, you don't work!

WHAT I MISS: Having energy. Sleeping through the night (guess I might as well get used to not sleeping through the night anyway LOL). Doing housework without getting lower back/leg pain. & Laying on my belly.

SYMPTOMS: Acid reflux occasionally (especially as of late). Lower back aches. Oh and leaking colostrum, lovely!

CRAVINGS: Ice. And limes. Weird but true lol.

My next appointment isn't until next month when I will be 35 weeks, and after that point I think my visits will be weekly. Everything is looking good though! I spoke to my midwife about my concerns about this baby possibly being sunny side up/posterior during labor like Miss L was, and she just suggested that I do a lot of walking just to try avoiding that. I was in labor with Miss L for 31 hours mostly due to the fact that she was head down but facing up, as opposed to facing down, therefore her skull was just chilling on right on my pelvic bone and I had the worst pain EVER (mind you I had a 100% natural water birth meaning I felt every little thing).











So we've just been spending a lot of time outdoors going on walks on the trail, at the commons downtown, etc. not only to enjoy the gorgeous weather but to make sure this baby gets into the right position and stays there LOL! Other than that, not much else is going on around here. Memorial Day Weekend is also my grandmothers birthday and Mothers Day in my culture so we will be celebrating all of those with family and some yummy food ‐ can't wait!

Take care

It's Been A While!

It's been quite a while since I've been on this thing. Life has kept me super busy! I swear, every single week I tell myself I am going to sit down and post an update, and then something else pops up LOL. Let me recap a few things:

The spring 2013 semester is officially over as of tomorrow, but I still have three papers to finish up and submit. I will be finishing those as soon as I click publish on this post LOL, I need to get it over with so I can move on already! This semester felt like such a drag to me honestly because I just felt so tired and drained by the halfway mark, however I do feel confident that I did well. Summer session starts at the end of the month though, so let me not get TOO excited about this one ending LOL.

Babygirl just turned 5 years old on May 8th. We celebrated her birthday on Saturday, May 11th with family and friends and had a great time! I say this every single year, but I just cannot believe how quickly time has passed. Can time please go a little slower? I mean... 5 years!? That's half of a decade! Anyway, she recently started yoga and ballet, and she is absolutely loving it! More so the yoga which I think is hilarious.

Well I meant to announce this a whole lot sooner but, I am currently expecting! 31 weeks to be exact (8 months next Tuesday). I am due in July with a baby girl ♥. We don't have a name picked out yet, well not one I agree with LOL. Hubby & babygirl are both stuck on two different names and I'm not fond of either one. So I don't know... guess I have 9 weeks to figure this one out. We didn't come up with our daughters name until a week before she was born so maybe this will be one of those situations again.

Oh and I am planning on switching my blog URL. I just need to figure out how the heck to take this blog's HTML codes and paste them onto the other one. Help? Link me to directions? Something? LOL.
