Monday Morning Pop Tart

Week 32: You’ve caused quite a bit of commotion this week. There’s been lots of new pains and a couple bouts of false labor. You’d better just stay put, k? No more scares. It’s just too early for that. You and I have been enjoying the new rocker. =) We’ve rested quite a bit while watching TV and Netflix. Your big brother Peety has been a little love pug too. I know he knows you’re coming. It’ll be an adjustment for him but I know he’ll be good to you and you two will be buddies. =)

Highlights

How Far Along: 32 weeks

Size of baby: Head of Lettuce

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think you've probably got the idea...

Maternity Clothes: Yes! Honestly, (and this is VERY unlike me) I could do without clothes at this point. Very few things are actually comfy and I'm hot 3/4 the time anyway. They're getting to be a bit overrated, but I'll spare you that sight. =)

Gender: Surprise. Getting more excited to find out. Soon!!

Movement: Yes!

Sleep: It just is what it is and that's ok.

Symptoms: All the usuals plus stretch marks. I also have this painful/itchy rash-ish thing on my belly. I'm not totally sure what it is - may just be stretched, irritated-by-too-tight-pants or it may actually be a legitimate rash. Either way, I don't like clothes touching it and am slathering on the hydrocortisone cream like a mad woman. I'm also noticing my energy levels dwindling every day and apparently this "pregnancy brain" thing is for real. =| I've forgotten so many important things lately (meetings, appt's, etc...) - I'm not normally like this and I'm hoping I bounce back to my old self soon. It's like my head is in a big fog and I'm not a fan. I also had a night of spooky false labor. These weren't the usual cramps or tightening feelings... these were double over in pain - take your breath away pains. Thankfully they were gone by morning! Not ready for that yet!

What I miss: Nothing really, I'm happy to be where I'm at right now.

Cravings: Just random stuff. Treats of course, as usual, and I've been eating lots of raisin bran but I haven't just been over taken with cravings lately.

Best Moment this week: Time with Dac, family, and friends.

What I am looking forward to: Next appt. and all the fun activities October brings.
