How far along? 32 Weeks
Baby Length: About 16.7 inches long
Baby Weight: About 3.75 lbs
Baby weighs as much as: A Large Jicama
Weight gain/loss: Up about 23 lbs. And the more rapid weight gain begins...I'll tell you, its getting harder to look at the scale.
Maternity clothes? I've broken out the bins from my friends and am officially wearing mostly maternity clothes. Other than the few flowy dresses that still fit, everything else is too tight. Still living in dresses, but I did confirm that I have a few maternity jeans to fall back on as the weather cools off.
Stretch marks? Nada. Cocoa butter baby!
Sleeping? I seem to sleep okay these days, but I do wake up very frequently all night. I have room for about 1 drop of pee in my bladder these days, so I do wake frequently for that...and my abdomen aches all the time, so when I roll over I find myself waking up with a belly ache. I also have developed nightmarish heartburn and reflux. I wake up every few nights in a panic because the reflux creeps into my throat and its almost like I'm throwing up a little. Because I'm laying on my back and sleeping at the time it happens, I end up choking and inhaling it half the time. It's a delight!
Best moment this week: Jake and I did our first baby class at Northside Hospital called Baby Essentials. I have so much fun doing these classes with him. In this class we learned all about Babies 101...including bathing, diapering, swaddling, how to pick a pediatrician, car seats, feeding and burping, etc. Its so fun to do these together and I love to see Jake take the classes seriously and express genuine interest in learning how to be a great new Dad.

Feel any movement? This baby is crazy! Yes! The second I am quiet and still the little Nashable starts a mosh pit in my belly.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I just can't eat very much in one sitting because I get so full so fast.
Gender: Unknown.
Labor Signs: Lots of BH contractions. Lots of pinching and pulling in the nether regions. Lots of round ligament pain and achiness in my abdomen.
Symptoms: Lower back pain, heartburn, nausea here and there, dizziness.
Belly Button? It's out - and looks weird!!
Wedding rings? Off and on. Depends on my finger size that day.
Happy or Moody? A little bit of both. I can't predict my mood swings from one minute to the next.
It was clearly humid that day ;)
