32 Weeks

32 Weeks



I'm going to start by saying, I don't even know what a jicama is. Can anyone inform me? Okay, so 32 weeks means that I only have 8 weeks left (that's 2 months)... I mean that's not a lot of time at all. This past weekend we had family come in to town for my shower. It was a great event. My sister-in-law, Meggan, did such a great job putting the whole thing together. My mom, Nana, Artie's mom and Dad all flew in for the weekend. It was great to see family and get to spend time together.

There are a ton of things that we still have to get done, but I know it'll get done eventually. We got new guest room furniture, but when we tried to put one of our old box springs downstairs, it wouldn't fit around the corner. It was hilarious though. I started laughing and then couldn't lift it.

Well, on to the quiz.

32 Week Quiz

How far along: 32 weeks and 2 days today

Weight gain: I am up 26 1/2 pounds now.

Maternity clothes: I'm feeling even bigger, so clothes aren't my friend right now.

New Baby Items: We got so many great things from the shower. Our stroller came in (although there are no wheels yet), we got our car seat, tons of awesome blankets and other great things. Thank you so much to everyone who got us some great stuff. I'm going to keep updating this list each week so that I list more of the great stuff we got from the shower.

Stretch marks: No. Hopefully never.

Sleep: I sleep okay, but I've been utterly exhausted recently.

Best moment of the week: I think that the best moment of the week was getting to share my baby excitement and the baby shower with everyone.

Movement: Loads of movement. It's now to the point where my stomach moves constantly, and other people can see it too.

Food cravings: I don't know. I did get black raspberry ice cream for the shower. It was amazing!

Labor signs: No, nothing yet. Hopefully not for a little bit longer.

Belly button in or out: It's still in, but it feels like it is popping out more than before.

What I miss: I miss feeling comfortable in clothes.

What I'm looking forward to: I'm looking forward to getting things settled a little more and then when the baby comes.

Weekly wisdom: You can do it!

Milestones: By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.



32 Week Belly Shot! Yeah, I have gotten bigger.

  1. Jicama is delicious! It's a Mexican root vegetable that's kinda like a potato, but it's got a higher water content. It's really great in salads or just dipped in ranch dressing! I'll have to give you some sometime! :D
