Week 32 Info:
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
Another week, another random vegetable (?) that I haven't heard of. I really need to expand my horizons.
This week has been a little rough with another bad cold. It is still lingering a bit, but hopefully will be gone by the end of the weekend. I've at least been able to sleep through the night the past 2 nights. For about 5 nights straight I was up every hour or every other hour blowing my nose. Not fun. I guess my nose is just doing its part to prepare me for Baby Goose. Thanks, Nose. You can be done now. Point made. I'd like to enjoy the final 2 months of sleeping through the night with no disruptions. Thanks.
As the week 32 information said, I'll be gaining a pound a week. It is really a trip to see how my body has changed. I look at myself in the mirror and sometimes can't really believe that it is me in there. I'm doing pretty well in terms of weight gain, but it is still hard to get on the scale at the doctor's office every other week. But I'm just so thankful that it has been an easy pregnancy and that everything is still going well.
Tomorrow is Halloween and we have yet to figure out our costumes, though we have an idea. So I won't say what it is yet in case we change our minds, but I'll be working on them tomorrow morning. Stay tuned for pictures!
Kona will be reprising her role as a Mad Bumble Bee.
She would normally be a Regular Bumble Bee, but for the 2
nd year in a row she was NOT happy with her costume- the head piece makes her mad. And it is hilarious.
Have a fun and safe Halloween weekend, everybody! And enjoy the extra hour we get on Sunday as we "fall back" in daylight savings!
I have today off because we had conferences Tuesday and Thursday night (so 2 twelve+ hour days this week) and am so excited to have time to myself and a day to relax. It has been a really busy couple of weeks so this is a much needed break! Especially since we have our baby class tomorrow from 8-4! I have a doctor's appointment at 11:15 today and other than that have no plans. Love it! It'll be a girls day with me and Kona. :)
