32 Weeks

How far along: 32 weeks this past Tuesday.  I can practically start counting down the days instead of months or weeks.

Symptoms: Same ole, same ole.  Nothing new to report here. 

 

Weight gain: 4 pounds during the last four weeks and 17.5 pounds overall. 

 

Fetal Movement: Still rocking and rolling. 

 

Prenatal care: Everything is going well.  Passed my glucose test with flying colors, but I'm a bit anemic so I've starting taking iron supplements.  Seems to be a pretty common issue in the third trimester, so I'm not that concerned. 

 

We finished our childbirth classes last week, so we are officially experts on labor and childcare.  Ha.  Yea right.  Let's just hope we don't forget what we've learned by the time Matilda makes her appearance.

 

Nesting: We've installed the car seat and set up the Pack 'N Play in the bedroom.  I've started some deep cleaning of the house.  Blinds and baseboards are dusted.  Curtains and the inside of the windows are washed.  I still want to wash the outside of the windows and entrances to the house.  They all got plenty dusty the past season or so. 

 

Worries: Baby girl is still breech, so I'm hoping she'll flip soon so I can stop worrying about that.  Our childbirth class teacher said not to worry until about week 36 and even then there are plenty of things you can do to get the baby to turn, but it would make me feel a lot better if she's flipped by then.  I'm going to see a chiropractor next week, so hopefully that will help with both my hip/ sciatic nerve pain and flipping the baby.

 

Looking forward to: Baby showers and celebrating our little one with friends and family.  :)
