32 Weeks

As tired as I am, I'm on a mission and making progress. I've gotten two posts up on my personal blog in the last two days. I've sewn for a couple of hours (on a quilt that seriously will probably require 16-20 hours of solid sewing from start to finish). And I did my Hypnobabies assignment for yesterday. Today's assignment will be done before bed. One way or another, I will get this all done!

 So today is 32 weeks and it's pretty unremarkable (in a good way). Baby boy should be about 3 3/4 pounds (but he was estimated to be that size 2 weeks ago) and should be about 16 3/4 inches long. I have a standard checkup on Monday morning and another ultrasound in 2 weeks. Really, other than that, there is nothing to report.

 I had a ton of really intense movements a few days last week when we were out of town for Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping that maybe he went head down. My midwives should be able to tell me how he's positioned on Monday. Overall, the type of movement I'm experiencing is definitely changing. It's no longer craziness all over. It's distinct, hard, blunt movements in the same places over and over again. This is of course because he's getting bigger and has less room to flip and flop. So it's expected. But it's definitely wearing on some areas of my abdomen more than others.

I'm up a total of about 20 pounds so far. I think it's unrealistic to stay under 25 pounds between now and the end, but I would be ELATED with staying under 30 pounds. Assuming I don't have insane water retention at the end this time, that should be possible.

And for now, I think that's it. No news is definitely good news from here on out!!!
