Its a little late in the game to start doing bumpdates! But, I thought I'd start anyways! One of my friends has been doing them for a while (You can see her blog here: justanothergirl) I love the concept of posting updates every so often! Seems like a fun thing to do!
Anyways, I'm at 32 weeks, and even though the end should be in sight, I feel like its still taking forever to get through this pregnancy! I'm sure soon enough I'll be feeling more along the lines of not having enough time rather then too much! Preparations are still happening, and hopefully everything is perfect for when this little girl gets here! When the picture below was taken, she was in a weird position! This picture makes me look quite large already! But really when she's laying normal in there I don't look quite as large!

Development
She now has toenails and fingernails as well as her real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz)! Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she is now starting to plump up!
Size
She is about the size of a large jicama right now according to my baby center update! Don't ask me what a jicama is exactly, the picture looks like some sort of root vegetable though!
This little girl weighs around 3 3/4 lbs and is about 16.7 inches long! I'm gaining around 1 lb a week and roughly half of that goes straight to this little munchkin!

Weight Gain
Just over 20lbs now! I had lost weight in the beginning of this pregnancy due to bad sickness, but now I'm up 20lbs! I'm starting to gain probably more then I should be and fast!
Symptoms
Lately I've been having alot of trouble moving! Whether its walking (I have started to waddle), bending, getting up, rolling over, almost anything! I've had some dull pain in my lower back and alot of tightening in my belly! Apparently its normal, unless it gets severe I'm not going to worry about it.
I've also had some mild heartburn, but nothing that a tums or two couldn't solve!
A few weeks ago I got a call from my midwife telling me to start taking iron supplements right away (I had taken a blood test two days before) because my iron levels were VERY low! So for the past few weeks I've been taking a liquid iron supplement called floravit. Its been a HUGE help! I don't feel nearly as tired as I used to!

I'm Craving
Reese's Peanut butter cups, Jalapeno Cheddar Doritos, and Chapmans Sorbet (Not the stuff with dairy in it.. the straight up fresh fruit sorbet! Otherwise its just fruity ice cream..) So basically all the things that are the worst for me I'm craving! Its a good thing I have a husband who only gives in to these cravings when they're at their most extreme!!
I'm Avoiding
I still can't handle BBQ sauce and most meats!
Good Things This Week
I finished my cute baby girl blanket! And my sister is coming all the way for a visit today! Oh, and Valentines day! Which means that after that, there will be alot of chocolate on sale!
Not So Good Things This Week
The freezing cold temperatures outside! It makes it hard for me to get out and get some exercise when its -27 out there and the sidewalks are frozen!
Looking Forward To
This little girl of mine to get here!!
You're looking so great Brittany! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until I start to waddle. ;) All it means is that things are getting closer and closer to baby coming!
Thanks Suzanne! I recently read a quote today.. "I don't waddle, I have pregnancy swag!" haha, it made me laugh a little!
DeleteHOW I GOT PREGNANT AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF CHILDLESSNESS.
ReplyDeleteIt is marvelous and bright,that is why i must tell the whole world about the beautiful deed Dr Bosun did in my life with his roots and herbs. I've not been able to give birth since 8 years of marriage,went to divers places to seek help but all to no avail until i met this powerful man on the internet,who i contacted and he gave me some roots and herbs and i got a positive result after a month and some days. Contact him on: bosunherbalcenter@outlook.com/bosunherbalcenter@yahoo.com or call him on: +2349033389930.(You are in the next online to give a testimony).
