week 32

I missed posting last week, work got really hectic. Hopefully it won't continue this week. On the weekend my mom, sister and I went on the 'Home for the Holidays' Christmas house tour, which is a tradition we've been doing for a while now. Can't wait to start decorating our house!

Feeling: My upper back and lower abs are starting to hurt - feels like everything in my body is starting to shift. At night my hips start to ache and I sometimes have to get up and stretch. Jeremy says I'm like one of those expanding tents... expanding out from both sides...
Movement?: He's really low, so luckily I don't feel big kicks in my ribs or lungs, but hiccups feel really funny. Sometimes we can see a knee or elbow poking out from one side.
Cravings: decaf soy lattes
Wishing for: Clothes that fit. Lately it feels like everything is either too small, or falling off. I'm running out of shirts that will cover my belly!
Movies: I didn't watch any movies or do any reading again this week... what have I been doing with my time?? I guess getting the nursery ready is taking up most of the time. Jeremy ripped out the shelves that were in the closet and installed a dimmer switch for the light. Now to pick out a paint colour.
Current Project: making a mobile for the baby's room. I'm sewing some birds that will sit on some tree branches (going to gather those today on my walk with Addy). Hopefully it will be done by next week so I can post some pics.

This week your baby weighs almost four pounds and could be up to 19 inches long. At 32 weeks pregnant, you're likely feeling tapping and squirming instead of your baby's signature rocking and rolling. That's because, while comfy, your baby is a bit tight for exercise space right now. Your baby has also probably settled into the head-down, bottoms-up position in your pelvis in prepartion for birth.

While your baby is still getting nourishment through the umbilical cord, but your baby's digestive system is all set and ready to go. And because your baby is accumulating more fat, his or her skin is finally turning opaque. Though weeks away from D-day, your baby's looking more and more like a newborn. In preparation for that big first date with you, your baby is sleeping like a baby — with sleep cycles of 20 to 40 minutes long.
