32 Weeks



How far along? 32 Weeks, 4 days - 52 days till our due date!
Baby is the size of: A squash.  Weighs around 4 pounds.

What's new with baby: He is plumping up and more hair is starting to grow on his head. Bones are getting stronger. He's practicing skills like swallowing, breathing, kicking and sucking. 
Maternity clothes? Yup! However, the dress in the above is new but not maternity. It's stretchy so I can wear it post-baby. I'm also wearing panty hose in the above. I ordered some maternity tights from Zulily - get this - they were so tight and uncomfortable! I ended up wearing my regular ones which were much more comfortable than the maternity ones I had ordered.
I'm still obviously leveraging loose fitting nonmaternity as much as possible (mostly for work). I live in my maternity leggings and Jeff's t-shirts at home and weekends are filled with jeans and maternity tops. 

Sleep: Sleeping pretty good. Got some nice rest over the weekend! Feel refreshed. 
Sleeping on: Side and back. 
Best moment this week: Having a three day weekend to relax and spend time with my wonderful husband. 
Miss Anything? No.
Movement: Yep!
Food cravings: No.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not this week.
Have you started to show yet: Yes sir
Gender: Boy!
Name selected?: Kamden
Working out? Yes! I even went to the gym.
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks everyday
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On

Overall health: Feeling good! Still have shortness of breath and its getting a little harder to move quickly.  Going up the four flights of stairs in our condo leaves me winded and my legs get tired so I use the railing a lot more than before. I also get random leg cramps in either my upper leg or calf. Minor things as I feel so blessed to have a healthy pregnancy. 
Feeling (happy, moody, emotional, scared): Happy, emotional, moody and scared. 
Looking forward to: Continuing to nest
Next appointment: Tomorrow, Nov 13

31 Weeks


How far along? 31 Weeks, 5 days - 58 days till our due date!
Baby is the size of: A pineapple. Weighs around 3-3.5 pounds.

What's new with baby: His brain is now more fully developed. All major organ development is done, although lungs are still immature. All five senses are now in working order. Baby is gaining about a half pound a week from here on out and mommy is gaining about a pound a week. 
Maternity clothes? I need more maternity clothes! The above is a regular A-line dress you will see me in post-baby. I need to stock up on some maternity tops to wear with my work pants and jeans now that the weather is getting colder. 
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good. 
Sleeping on: Side and back. Body pillow is helping me stay on my side. However, I'm worrying that sleeping on my side is crushing the baby. Oh the start of a worrying mother. :) 
Best moment this week: SO many this week! 1) My mom was in town. I just love having her around. 2) We did a sneak peek sonogram of Kamden with my mom and Jeff's parents. It was so cool to his little features and the little man has already turned himself down. 3) We had our baby shower and were surrounded by everyone we love (including my brother from CA and my Grandma from New York)
