32 weeks

Excuse the frizzy side pony.  It was a bad hair day, yuck!

Baby Girl is the size of a squash!  She is over 18 inches from head to feet and weighs about 4lbs!
How far along? 32 weeks

Maternity clothes? still trying to squeeze into the clothes that I have (mainly maternity) but I fear that I will need to go get more soon.  And yes, I realize that I am wearing jeans in this picture and I previously stated that I hate pants.  I still hate pants, but when it is just over 60 degrees outside and you go apple picking in the morning, dresses and skirts just don't cut it.

Stretch marks? nope

Sleep: Sleep is better, but I'm still exhausted.

Best moment this week:
It's been a pretty boring week.  The Little Lady has had hiccups a lot, sometimes up to 3 times a day.
Pictures are hung in the nursery, we just need to get the shelf hung up (oh and buy a mattress!) and then I think we will be done.  And we also need to get a changing pad.  Ok, so we still have a ways to go.

Miss Anything? clothes that fit!

Movement: Still a mover and a shaker!  Lots of hiccups this week and overall spazzing out. 

Food cravings: Carbs.  Really anything easy that I don't have to actually make.

Exercise:
Still keeping up with our 4-5 mile walks every morning.
I also started the 3rd Trimester workout from Moms Into Fitness about two times this week.  But it is getting harder to move with this big belly!

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

Gender: Pretty little lady!  

Labor Signs: nope

Symptoms: achy hips and shoulders from sleeping on one side for too long. 

Belly Button in or out? still in

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: I've been indifferent this week, still overwhelmed with everything we still have to do before Baby Sister gets here (big sisters being our first born, our furry babies).  People always ask now if we're getting excited that she'll be here soon and really it just terrifies me.  I don't feel ready at all and I know that as soon as she is here, EVERYTHING will change.  No more just running out to go to Target or out to dinner, it will be a big production just getting to the car.  It will be harder to get out and walk the dogs, especially in the winter.  Don't get me wrong, we're really excited, but also very nervous.

Looking forward to:
32 week appointment on Monday
IL baby shower in October :)



Dearest Baby Girl,

We are less than two months away from your "due date."  I wonder if we'll even make it to that day.  I wouldn't mind if you had a birthday in early November or even late October (although it makes me very nervous that you could be here that soon!).  I would actually rather that you not have a birthday too close to the holidays.

It's been a pretty uneventful week.  Not a whole lot has happened.  You are still moving and grooving in there.  You HATE it when I sit up straight because it limits your space to move and that's usually when you kick me in the ribs.  This makes it really hard to put shoes on.

Maddie likes to lounge on you now.  She has gotten very clingy lately and will try to lay in my lap/on my belly with her front legs on either side of the belly which looks like she is giving you a hug.  We need to bring out all of the baby stuff and set it up again so she and Lucy can get used to it.  Maddie still loves to go into your room and look at all the toys and stuffed animals (although you really don't have much of anything).  She usually sits there and cries because she wants to play with everything so badly, but knows that none of it belongs to her.  She also loves to crawl under your crib with her tennis ball.

Not too much longer until we get to see your sweet face :)

Love,
your mama
