How far along?: 32 weeks, 0 days
Total weight gain/loss: +4 over 2 weeks, +31 lbs overall. My OB is still not at all concerned, so I'm going to pretend that I'm not either. Baby Reeder is likely about 4.5 to 5 lbs now.
Sleep: No real complaints just yet. And yes, I realize how incredibly lucky I am in this.
Movement: Constant. This little one loves to roll around. Poor thing is running out of room quickly!
Labor Signs: I think I had a few contractions this week (jinxed myself last week.)
Food cravings: As usual, if it's made of sugar, I want it.
Gender: Baby's heartbeat was 140bpm on Friday & has been under 150 bpm every time. The Old Wive's Tales would indicate a boy from this.
New w/pregnancy #3: I don't remember this feeling of total discomfort starting so early in my other pregnancies. I'm really at a point where I'm never really comfortable; I can get more comfortable in some positions than others, but never totally comfortable. Plus I'm getting serious punches to the ribs and pelvic bone on the regular, so even if I get "comfortable", the baby makes things miserable. Womp womp.
What I miss: Normal dreams. Or just no dreams at all. I have weird, vivid dreams every night. Like last night's dream in which my mom had another baby (now, in 2014) & I was totally cool with it.
What I am looking forward to: It's finally time to start cleaning up the nursery, and I'm both dreading it and really excited about it!
Best moment this week: I had a check-up on Friday and found out that Baby Reeder is head down! There's really not a ton of time for baby to move around at this point (there just isn't enough room), so that means the babe should stay this way until delivery!
Weekly Wisdom: Nothing about the pregnant body makes sense. For example, I sleep on my left side at all times, only occasionally rolling partially onto my back (never fully - there's always a big pillow wedged under me. I hate that I can't move around, but I really can't breathe on my back or right side at all.) At 6:30 this morning, I got out of bed to cart my 2nd-born back to his bed. The moment I set my feet on the floor, I had the most intense, almost-numbing pain in my right hip. Yes, right. As in, the one that had zero pressure on it all night as I slept on my left side. WHICH MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
Milestones: Bi-weekly doctor appointments, y'all. This one's huge.
