- How far along are you? 32 weeks today!
- How big is the baby? 15.2-16.7 inches and 2.5-3.8 lbs... the size of a squash!
- Weight gain? 32 lbs as of my last prenatal appt. I go again tomorrow, so I'm sure this number will be a bit higher.
- Stretchmarks? No, but I am rockin' some sweet varicose veins on my right calf. Awesome.
- Belly button? Pretty sure it's in for the long haul.
- Cravings? Hot dogs with shredded cheese on a bun. I know, what?!?! I bought some 100% organic grass-fed beef hot dogs today at Trader Joe's so I could give in to my craving. It was everything I had hoped it would be.
- Latest hormonal outburst? I can't think of a recent one... let me ask Chris and get back to you. :)
- Vomiting? Only when my heartburn/indigestion gets super bad. Sucks. Big time.
- Feeling prepared? I asked Chris the other day if there was something I should be doing to prepare for this baby... I really feel like I have done nothing. So I went ahead and put newborn diapers in our Amazon shipment for next month. Crazy to think that we will be needing them next month already!
- Names? I think we may have come to an agreement on first names. No middle name for a girl yet.....
- Sleep? Most nights I sleep with 3 (THREE!!!) pillows behind me... just to keep dinner down.
- Random pregnancy side effects? My body hair doesn't really grow. Same thing happened when I was pregnant with Wren. Kinda nice to not have to shave my legs. Cause if I actually needed to, it probably wouldn't be happening at this point anyway.
- Best moment this week? Wren got to feel the baby yesterday morning! We were laying in bed at our hotel in Austin, and the baby had the hiccups (which seems to be happening more and more lately). I put her hand on my belly, and she was able to feel the baby moving. Not exactly sure how she felt about it. I still don't think she gets that there is an ACTUAL BABY in my stomach. When I ask her where the new baby is, she pats on my belly, but I don't know if she totally gets it. We've been reading lots of books about babies and becoming a big sister... so we'll see. She loves babies when she sees them in public, and she really loves her babies (in fact, she carries one around with her almost everywhere we go)... so I'm hoping that translates well into having a real baby at home all of the time.
- THIS BABY WILL PROBABLY BE HERE NEXT MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yeah, crazy.
Know what else is crazy?
The month of October.
I feel like I have soooooo much to post about, but nothing seems to be getting blogged about.
Shoot.
I promise that I will get up pics from Mom and Sorcha's visit, the Halloween party, trick or treating, Wren's big girl bedroom, the dining room "makeover," our Austin trip, and a few other randoms I have saved in drafts.
Here are some pics from earlier in the fall when we took a walk back to the pond.
It was a....
