Post 84: Week 32
Week 32-Baby is the Size of: a head of lettuce
-Weight Gain: 15 pounds and counting
-Stretch Marks: still on my butt cheeks
-Sleep: what's that? Haven't slept in weeks! Between Julie and Ani battling it out each night, and horrible indigestion causing me to get sick each night, sleep is not easy to come by.
-Movement: Crazy movement! I fell asleep holding on to Shaun this week, and when I woke up the next morning, he said he got beaten up! He finally got to feel a ton of movement, for a long period of time. Julie is still flipping, and had added some pretty strong punches and kicks lately.
-Favorite or Funny Moment: We had our first baby shower this week! It was wonderful to celebrate Julie with my home church. As I already said, Ani and Julie have been interacting each night. Ani must know that there's a baby in my belly. He now sleeps as close to my stomach as possible. He purrs, and Julie punches. We also had maternity photos taken last week, at 31 weeks! They turned out awesome, and I can't wait to order a few for our home!
-Sickness: I got about a two week break from being sick, but it's started back with a vengeance! I believe I actually pulled a muscle in my back from throwing up so hard.
-Feeling: Extremely pregnant. Every day tasks are becoming more of a challenge. Laundry is going to be the death of me - every time I drop a sock out of the dryer I contemplate whether I really need to pick it up.
-Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, horrible indigestion, achy muscles, hip pain.
-Cravings: Frosted Rice Krispy cereal with bananas. Cereal and milk with an ice cube. Sharp cheddar cheese sticks.
-Aversions: Almost all foods. Everything gives me indigestion at this point, so I've pretty much stopped eating anything with flavor or spice.
-Purchases: Haven't purchased much this month - a few outfits or small items, diapers, etc. We received quite a few gifts from our shower though, including clothes, diapers, crib bedding, a playmat, and the rock and play sleeper!
