how far along: 32 weeks, 2 days
{I failed taking pictures this weekend…Christmas Eve pictures will have to count this week!}
size of baby: squash {15.2-16.7 inches, 2.5-3.8 pounds}
gender: baby girl!
weight gain: up to 151.5 this morning {a total of 25.5} – I’m pretty sure I mis-calculated AGAIN last week! but I broke out the calculator this morning and I’ve got it today!
maternity clothes: definitely!
stretch marks: keeping them away with my Mustela cream!
rings: decided this weekend to take them off. they weren’t quite uncomfortable, but I couldn’t get them off as easily so I figured it was better to be safe than sorry!
nursery: is looking adorable! we’ve made so much progress…I’m starting to feel like we have it under control!
movement: so much movement, all throughout the day! I love it!
symptoms: some back pain still, but was actually not so bad this weekend! getting a little uncomfortable in general throughout the day. after sitting or standing too long. laying down on my side with my Bumpnest seems to provide the most relief! a recent development is waking up to excruciating cramps in my calves!! trying to take in extra electrolytes, potassium and calcium this week! hope it helps!
sleep: love sleep…and still sleeping well!
cravings: sugar, sugar, sugar! I know sugar can contribute to higher birth weight, so I’m trying {my hardest} to limit myself…
aversions: nothing in particular…
what I miss: I gave in to having a cup of decaf coffee when we went out to breakfast Sunday, so I’m not missing too much! just super excited that February is getting nearer!
best moment this week: we had a MUCH quieter weekend this week! I think the best parts were relaxing and hanging up decor in the nursery! it’s all coming together!
looking forward to: Christmas this week!! we are basically done shopping {finishing up a couple errands this afternoon} so we just have to wrap tomorrow! can’t wait for yummy dinners and time with the fam!
