Week 32 Bumpdate

"That baby is coming tonight"

"You're just getting bigger and bigger"

"When is you're due date again?"

"You won't make it to January" which came back to back with

"You better make sure your co-workers know First Aid"

"I love seeing your belly button pop out"

"When are you due again?" (yes...this gets asked almost everyday)

"You're not fine, you're ready to pop!"

All these things and more have been said to me in the last week. I think when I wear my non-maternity shirts I tend to look farther along than I am and people assume I'm 9 1/2 months already. When I wear my maternity shirts their comments are more cutesy. I think the moment someone says to me "You haven't popped yet? It's like an elephants gestation period!" is the day I stay at home and coax her out of me.
Elephants are pregnant for 22 months by the way. (Thank you Gilmore Girls)

I also understand the need for this shirt now

Besides the touching of the belly I get asked all the cliche questions all the time. Although I might add to this "I doubt I'll go early".

Week 32

How far along: 32 Weeks

Gender: Girl        

Weight gain: 19lbs+

Maternity clothes: Absolutely positively
Sleep: I got 2- 3 hour stretches last night and felt so rested when I woke this morning. It was magical.

Best moment this week: My co-workers threw me a baby shower and it was fabulous! Also learning that peanut butter works for heartburn. It allowed me a few hours of relief at 2am this morning before I could take another Zantac.

Worst moment this week: Nothing stands out but when she pokes her butt or head out so far I can see the lump clearly, it hurts and while it’s not the worst thing ever it’s certainly not comfortable.

Miss anything: I miss sleep the most I guess. I know it’ll be a while before it returns but that is what I miss.

Movement: Fleeting are the break dancing sessions and in their place comes ballet or some other type of smoother dance. Less jibs and jabs more “let me push my fist out and just keep it there for a while”. Also her latest move is pushing her feet down to push her head the opposite way aka stretching maybe?

Cravings: Comfort food

Queasy or sick: nope

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

Labor Signs:   I felt a lot of pressure yesterday in my lower region but it went away after a little while. It’s also harder to breathe these days. Butt.in.diaphram thank you kindly baby Girl

Looking forward to: Packing our hospital bags

Belly Button in or out:  Out
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Happy Weekend Friends!
