Less than 9 weeks left to go! I have sincerely enjoyed being pregnant, and still get a big kick out of watching my belly move. It now just kind of rolls like a wave as the baby moves. Sometimes I even see it moving when I don't necessarily feel it (talk about strange)! However, I am not sleeping all that well, and I feel like I need a forklift everytime I want to roll over in bed. Brian has moved to the guest bedroom twice now, but who can blame him between the tossing and turning, and oh yeah, the snoring since my head gets so stuffed up at night! At one point last night Brian was in the guest bedroom, I was on the couch, and Nuge was sleeping peacefully in our bed. I must give my husband credit though, he has been quite good to me and it's so cute to watch him get excited about the arrival of our son! The pregnancy has gone quick up to this point, but it is now moving slowly as I anxiously await the end!
Baby Growth in Week 32
Your baby is anywhere from 15 to 17 inches long and weighs between 4 and 4 ½ pounds.
Your baby is continuing to grow. His/her toenails and fingernails have formed. The lungs are continuing to mature but will not reach full maturity for several more weeks. Your baby’s skeleton has completely formed, but his/her bones are very soft and pliable.
32 Week Dr. Appointment
Well, apparently I have gained a total of 20 lbs., but for some dumb reason I left my shoes on when I was weighed this time, so I am subtracting a pound! I really can't complain, I know. LOL! Still measuring right on target, baby's heartbeat still sounds good, blood pressure great, etc. I have had moments when I find it really hard to pay attention or focus on what's going on around me, and the Dr. said that my blood sugar is probably dropping and just to eat more frequent snacks that are high in carbs (probably the only time I'll hear that from a Dr.). Back again in another 2 weeks.
Hospital Tour
Brian and I toured the facilities at Mount Carment East. It was quick and comprehensive - just want I needed. Brian even mentioned that he is enjoying all this preparation for our little one. They showed us where to go when we arrive for delivery, the labor and delivery rooms (which are quite spacious), and the post-delivery rooms. Brian is so looking forward to sleeping on one of those chairs that supposedly turns into a bed. Not much action on the delivery floor while we were there, so all the nurses were having a pow-wow at the nurse's station (what do they do when there's no one delivering?). Everyone at work is making predictions for when I will have the baby, so we looked on the calendar for the full moon and there is one on April 2nd (3 days before my due date). I predict an Easter baby on April 8th.
