32 Weeks!

•How far along?: 32 weeks! Keep cooking baby Cael!

•Current Weight: 137.

•Total weight gain: +14 from pre-pregnancy weight.

•How big is baby?: Head of lettuce; 18 inches long, and 4 pounds 4 ounces!

•Movement: A lot! He moves around for a good 30 minutes every morning around 9, then in the late afternoon, and again around 10pm.

•Stretch marks?: Nope!

•Sleep?: It sucks! I'm up about 2-3 times a night to pee. Last night was horrible - I couldn't fall asleep because of the worst heartburn I've had ever.

•Symptoms?: Sore, BH's, lots of discharge.

•Food aversions?: Not currently.

•Food cravings?: Cheese, pasta, pizza, hamburgers.

•Labor signs?: So far they're still at bay. I'm still getting contractions, but they're inconsistent. My cervix is still measuring short (effaced) at between 1.7-2.0 cm.

•Belly button in or out?: It's even with my belly, but whenever Cael moves, it starts to "suck" back in a little.

•What I miss: Moving around easily, not having heartburn.

•What I'm looking forward to: Bed rest. At first, I was upset and disappointed to be pulled out of work until after maternity leave. But now I realize it's crucial to keeping Cael cooking for a while longer.

•Best Moment this week: Finding out my cervix is still stable.

•Milestone: Being 32 weeks!
