| To be fair, I had spent the week taking care of a sick baby and then a sick husband. |
I had a pretty solid first trimester. No sickness or nausea and never so tired that I couldn't function. Not so in this last trimester! Mid afternoon naps have become pretty much mandatory if I want to get anything done during the last half of the day! I'm ready to be done with this pregnancy! Not only am I ready to meet this little man, but I'm excited about being able to roll over during the night without being in pain and to sleep on my tummy again!
How far along?
32 weeks and measuring right on time!
Maternity clothes?
Ugh. Clothes.
Stretch marks?
No new developments, thank goodness!
Sleep?
Can't get enough of it these days (as I was saying before). Still basically sleeping in a pool of my own sweat, though, which is less than pleasant.
Best moment this week?
Was told at my appointment that I'm at risk for delivering early but not high risk. Honestly that didn't do a lot to calm my fears. They gave me a list of preterm labor signs and said they would "take you seriously" if I was to call in with any of those symptoms. Watch for contractions, change in discharge, water breaking... The only sign I had with Zooey was the huge gush of fluid. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how/when little man decides to let us know he's ready! (Wow, that didn't sound much like a best moment, did it?)
Food cravings:
Still really, really wanting pizza. Mmm...delicious, cheesy, crispy thin crust pizza...
Belly button in or out?
I can only kind of see it. I really try not to focus on how goofy looking it is.
Movement?
He takes his moments (like now) to kick and flip and have tiny baby spasms.
What I miss?
I miss all of my jeans!
What I’m looking forward to:
Starting my two week visits! Woo hoo! Also ready to put crib #2 together. It came in this week and I'm just really stoked to start organizing the kids' room!
Milestones:
"Both you and baby are putting on some serious weight at this point. You'll probably gain about a pound a week for the next few weeks, with half of that poundage bulking up baby. He'll likely double his weight in the next eight weeks. ... By the end of this week, your baby will weigh about 4 pounds and measure over 17 inches long—about the length of a hot pair of above-the-knee boots. Christian Louboutin? Manolo Blahnik? We're thinking Isaac Mizrahi for Target—you've got a nursery to furnish!"
