32 Weeks of Pregnancy

This is totally a picture from a few weeks ago but this was my other "cute pregnancy shirt" that I probably don't fit anymore so we needed one of those plus I was too lazy to take a picture today.

How far along: 32 Weeks

Total weight gain: over 30- let's guess 32 because it matches the week and that would be neat to be matching.

Maternity clothes: I really need to invest in a maternity coat and some boots that make pregnancy in the winter more mangeable. Right now I just have to layer sweaters and such and have my coat open and my boots are ridiculous for a big bellied lady walking around on the ice

Stretch marks: Yep- there were some creepers under the belly. I'm just glad the coconut oil helped the ones all over- a couple ain't bad.

Sleep: Bah humbug.

Best moment of this week: Oh my goodness- my chiropractic adjustment! Are you kidding me? Where has Stephanie Hoglund been my whole life? She is amazing. My other chiropractor never even checked where I told him I had the pain- she found that 3 of my ribs on the right side protrude more than the other side and I have tension along the right side of my back (causing that achy pain I always feel with these pregnancies). It feels a lot better today and I hope that she can really help it go away forEVER! That would be the most amazingist thing in the world right now.

Thankful for: Healthy no-bakes...yummy. Sometimes you just need some chocolate and I love that I can make a little healthier version to stick with my no-sugar thing.

Movement: So much! Stephanie told me that the optimal placement for baby to be is on the left side. So I am going to be lightly rubbing my belly in that direction to hopefully persuade baby to side over on that side since he/she is following Grant and staying on the right. Having the baby on the right means the baby can turn easier to face forward which makes for back labor- so if I really am going to do this natural birth thing I would love the baby to stay facing my back and not flip around- that would be nice.

Food cravings: chocolate.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Water is starting to kind of make me queasy if I don't eat something with it.

How you feel: skipping this question :)

Gender: I still think girl. I just think that is going to be my guess.

Labor signs: I have only had one round of braxton hicks and that was a month or so ago- I thought my body would be practicing more.

Belly button in or out: out

Exercise and preparation for birth: I'm doing well on my exercise log- it actually makes me think I have been exercising more than I thought but now I have a record so I have evidence for myself that I am doing something.

Happy or moody most of the time: skip.

Looking forward to: Some sleep. I think I might call a friend and nap one day and catch up on some housework....that would be wonderful.
