32 Weeks





How far along? 32 weeks. Baby boy is the size of a jicama. What, you don't know what that is? Me either. He has fingernails, toenails and some peach fuzz for hair. I can't wait to see what color that fuzz is:) I was jet black when I was born and MS was blonde. 

Total weight gain: Around 17 lbs. 

Maternity Clothes: Yep. Leggings are the best, with a long sweater and a scarf. I have a feeling this will continue past February. 

Stretch Marks: Not yet.

Sleep: Sleeping well and looking forward to some time off where I can enjoy sleeping in, afternoon naps and staying up later than 9 if my little heart desires. 

Best Moment this Week: Getting dressed up for Christmas parties with my baby Daddy. 

Miss anything? I was a little sad to miss out on the holiday cocktails. Although I did have to have just a little sip of Martha Stewart's eggnog. 

Movement: Rolls and the alien movements - I can feel distinct body parts. I think MS got freaked out when he could feel the head straight on. 

Food Cravings:  I like it all. The Publix Premium White Christmas ice cream has won a special place in my heart though. Coffee flavored ice cream with espresso chocolate chips? Yes, please. 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Food is hit or miss these days, but nothing too bad.

Exercise:  Still at it. I'm really hoping the consistency pays off during and after delivery. It's getting harder and harder to get out in the cold, but it really does make me feel better and sleep better.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: Nothing yet. Have a few weeks before we'll even start checking at weekly appointments. I'ts amazing how the time has flown.

Symptoms: Things like cleaning and vacuuming wear me out pretty fast. The belly and lower back get really tight. Does this mean I can hire a maid? Please advise.

Most looking forward to: Christmas!
