How far along? 32 weeks + 4 days!
How big is the baby? Still weighing in between 2.5 – 3.8 pounds and between 15.2 – 16.7 inches long. Measurements, even with ultrasounds, have about a 2-pound margin of error. So even when you think the weight is accurate, it really is just a guess.
Total weight gain? 32 pounds! Eek! I’m trying not to let it freak me out too much. I gained 5-lbs between my two week appointments. The doctors seem to think it’s normal, so I suppose I will too!
Stretch marks? The number of them around my belly button are increasing. Still not concerned.
Sleep: Increasingly hard to come by. Waking up about 4-times a night to pee. Also waking when I’m uncomfortable.
Movements: Still moving a lot. I love looking down and seeing my belly move while I’m sitting at work!
Food cravings: Chipotle. Like, wish Chipotle delivered, types of cravings. Like almost cried when I found out Chad ate Chipotle without me for lunch yesterday {and then totally made him go with me for dinner}.
Food aversions: Grilled chicken. I’m all good with the breaded chicken these days!
What I miss: Being able to paint my toes and shave my legs. Today my goal is to schedule a pedicure for right around week 39!
What I’m looking forward to: Finishing clearing out the nursery this weekend! And putting up the dresser so I can start putting his clothes away. I don’t know why, but I’m dying to do this!
Other notes: I’m starting to get nervous about preterm labor. I’ve had some light cramping and back pain about once or twice a day. I’ve heard it’s normal, but oh my gosh I do not want to have this baby a minute before October 9th!

Love it!! I think we look really similar
I was telling my sis how hard it is to shave my legs now a days and she wasn’t buying it! Are y’all getting so excited? We’re about to have a baby!! Did your doctor tell you it could be two weeks early or two weeks late?? Mine did! Freak me out!!
I’m getting excited for sure!
Once everything is ALL SET I’ll feel a lot better! Did you have your shower yet? Ours is this weekend! Yeah we learned in our Bradley Classes that the due date is such a crazy estimate that it could be anytime after 37 weeks through 42-43 weeks. And honestly? I’m SO not ready for him to be early! I’d much prefer if he came around week 41!
You are just so cute! You are glowing. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly and you get that pedicure you deserve!
