32 Weeks :: 8 to go...

I think the puffy face really accentuates the fact that I feel like I'm about to pop. I weigh more than I have ever weighed in my life and I'm not going to lie, stepping on the scale is a little scary. But! I know it's all for a good cause so I'm more than ok with it, I'm just not accustomed to carrying around this much extra weight...and I'm hurting. My joints hurt when I wake up and if I do any sort of physical activity something is bound to be sore for at least 24 hours. I keep telling myself I only have 8 more weeks though so that's getting me through it.

Saying all of that, I'm really trying to just enjoy being pregnant for these last two months. This little miracle inside of me isn't going to be there forever and that makes me kind of sad. Obviously I want to meet him but feeling his little kicks and hiccups and movement will be missed.

In other news, I only have 8 work days until 19 days off for Christmas. CANNOT WAIT.

How far along? 32 weeks! 2 months to go...Wowowowow.
Size of baby: Still the stupid squash. But he's almost 4 pounds...although he feels like he's 16 pounds when pouncing on my bladder.
Total weight gain/loss: +17ish. Our Monday appointment will give me a more accurate number.
Stretch marks? Still no. Knock knock.
Sleep: Pretty good besides waking up kind of sore.
Best moment this week: Getting the glider and realizing the nursery is just about finished. So crazy looking at all of his things that he will be using in such a short time.
Worst moment this week: Being sore and semi-grumpy. No breakdowns though...win!
Movement: So much. Tyler thinks he likes to stretch out and then hold the position so when he's poking out it's his little hand or foot.
Food cravings: Not a whole lot...Mexican food one night. Otherwise the appetite has been pretty tame.
Sex: Baby boy!
Labor Signs: I did experience 2 Braxton Hicks contractions that kind of hurt...well, I guess they were more uncomfortable than really painful but still. Craziness.
Belly Button in or out? Still in but stretched out. Tyler calls it the Chinese eye. My husband is not PC.
What I miss: The same complaints...breathing, moving, peeing, getting up off the couch in a timely manner.
What I am looking forward to: Christmas break!
Weekly Wisdom: Mrs. MFC and I decided that the week where you cross the line from mildly uncomfortable into the territory of Oh-My-God-I'm-So-Freaking-Uncomforatble-I-Could-Scream is about 31-32 weeks. So prepare yourself.
Milestones: Nursery's almost finished. :)

  2. The number on the scale freaks me out too and I pray I never weigh this much again (unless of course I have another baby), carrying around all this extra weight is hard. Hate to tell you it doesn't get any better and once you hit the last month Holy uncomfortableness!! But it's worth it...so people say :)
