Week 32





32 Weeks

How far along: 32 Weeks

Weeks to due date: 8 Weeks

Total weight gain: 24 pounds- I blame the 2 pound weight gain on the fact that I hadn’t had a good poop yet when I weighed myself =) 

Maternity clothes:  Oh yes.  And a huge thanks to those who have borrowed some of their clothes to me!  It is a huge blessing to have hand me downs!  

Sleep:  Good off and on.  

Best moment this week: This week we started our remodeling project which is pretty exciting.  We also had pictures taken and we got the baby’s crib.  So many great things to look forward to! 

Here are a few of our pictures =) Rachel Hass did such a wonderful job! I am so thankful for her friendship and her talent! 

What I miss: My normal ankles that remain the same throughout the day instead of these oh they look pretty in the morning and then by the end of the day look like monster feet…  I am so thankful for a loving husband that loves me no matter what my ankles look like =)  I wonder if there is anything in Song of Solomon about a woman’s delightfully swollen ankles and belly and how enthralling they are… Let me look... I know this isn’t exactly what I was thinking but this is what Song of Solomon 7: 1-2 says…. Don’t blush
1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
    O noble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like jewels,
    the work of a master hand.
Your navel is a rounded bowl
    that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat,
    encircled with lilies.

You totally blushed =) 

Movement: Oh yes… It kind of tickles sometimes and there was one instance where I kind of let out this weird awkward noise when the baby jabbed me. Sometimes those sudden movements just take a mom by surprise.  

Food cravings: I don’t think I really have any.  

Making me queasy:  Nothing

Starting to show:   Oh there truly is no sucking in this belly.  I’m bumping into more and more things with this belly.      

Gender:  We shall know in about 8 weeks or so!  

Happy or moody: Happy.  Except when I have my little moments of crankiness.... yes.... I get cranky

Things I've been experiencing this week: We had an appointment on Monday.  All went well and the baby is still doing great!  I was able to get together with my friend Carrie before my appointment which was amazing.  We haven’t seen each other in years and it was wonderful to see her again and to catch up.  

What I'm looking forward to:  Finishing our remodel. 

Size of baby:  A squash

  1. I love your honesty :) Thats a main reason I started my weekly updates.
    Are your ankles and feet huge?! WIth my last pregnancy my feet and ankles up to mid calf were monstrous. And my fingertips went numb the last few months. I'm crossing my fingers I miss out on that stuff this time!

    1. By the end of they day they are kind of gross to look at. It's like "where are my ankles?!!" And they get super hot. Did yours? My fingers haven't been too bad luckily.

  2. I'm so happy for you guys! Haha, I appreciate your complete honesty and TMI. I hope to someday soon go through this same miracle (not yet, though), so I love reading through other women's journeys. You're going to be a wonderful mother :)
