The Cheerio Family: Pregnancy Update: 32 Weeks

How far along:

Total weight gain/loss:
I've gained another five pounds, so 15 pounds total. It doesn't seem like that much, but when I look in the mirror, I definitely see it!?

Maternity clothes:

Yes. I've narrowed my maternity clothes section down to the bare minimum. Now that I'm reading this, it seems pretty silly to have gotten rid of so much, but I am just done with anything that isn't super comfy and cool. I wear a tank top and a maxi skirt most days when I have to be out and about, and lounge around the house in ultra comfy clothes.

Movement:

Apparently, Evan thinks my internal organs and ribcage are her personal playground. This girl has her feet, hands and bum in all the most uncomfortable places. I especially love the sharp jabs to my cervix!

Gender:

GIRL!

Emotions:?

I'm hanging in there, but am SO done with being pregnant.

Food cravings:?

I haven't been craving much of anything. I am eating smaller and smaller portions, also- there is just no room for a big meal now (and I try to avoid heartburn as much as I possibly can). I bought a regular sized bag of hot Cheetos before our trip, thinking they might make it until we hit the freeway, but after I opened them, I didn't even want them! I had 95% of the bag when we came home.

Sleep:

Oh man, when we wer eon our trip and the first few nights we were back, I actually slept the whole night though- it was glorious!!! I'm back to tossing and turning all night now, which means rough nights for both Joel and I.?

Symptoms:

All the usual suspects: back pain, anemia, contractions, heartburn, nausea, exhaustion, misery.

So, I was pretty sure I would have GD again with Evan, but my one hour glucose test came back perfect. I want to still be careful, but I almost always have at least one treat during the day- I cannot curb my sweet tooth (teeth?) for anything!

Stretch marks?:?

Surprisingly, no. I keep thinking one day I am going to a loud ripping noise and just know it's either going to be my skin or my pants.

Labor Signs:

I went to the hospital on Thursday morning because I was having intense contractions close together (within 5-7 minutes of each other) for several hours. Yes, I know the doctor recommends going if there are more than 6 contractions in one hour, but if I followed that rule, I'd be at the hospital every single day. There is still no change to my cervix, but the contractions keep coming... I got a couple shots of terbutaline and all calmed down enough to go home.?

Belly Button in or out:

It is still in right now, but there is so much pressure behind my belly button that I am scared it will pop out any day now. :/

What I miss:?

Everything. I cannot wait until this baby is here and I can start to feel normal again.

What I am looking forward to:?

Mobility. Energy. Eating without raging heartburn. Snuggling my little baby.?

Best moment this week:

Joel gave me the best massage for like, an hour the other night. I think I was slipping in and out of a relaxation coma. It was amazing.?
