How far along? 32 Weeks
How big is baby? It feels like a watermelon, but around 4 pounds is what the sources say.
Weight gain? 20 lbs. I only gained 25 with Julianne. We will see, I am thinking I will gain a little more with baby boy :)
Maternity clothes? What a silly question to even answer...I Cant wait to pack those clothes up!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep?: Sleep is something that has been completely different with this pregnancy. I dont remember ever having problems with J. But, I wake up about 3-4 times every night...for no reason! I feel like I am ready to start my day at 12am, 3am, 5am.
Best moment this week? Since I have not posted about the last 8 weeks of this pregnancy...there has been a lot of great moments. We painted the nursery blue, got new curtains, moved Julianne to her "big girl" room! We have had some little boy outfits given to us and I just love looking at them. So sweet. Also, I out all of Juliannes "newborn" clothes to see how much unisex outfits we have...like yellow/white/green stuff. Also, found some lovely items that I think I tried to block from my memory...like nursing pads and creams...uhhh, I forgot about what a necessity those things were! By the way...the cloth ones are MUCH better than the disposable ones, FYI.
Movement? Yes! Lots of little flutters and a few kicks...this baby is low! real low!
Food cravings? Nah. I dont really crave anything anymore. And I get full really fast. Sometimes I am SO hungry and want to get a lot, but my stomach just cant hold it.
Gender? Sweet baby blue
Labor signs? Kinda, as weird as it sounds. I was having major BH contractions one day and had to come home and lay down and drink water...I havent really had another day like that, but I get lots of little contractions throughout the day. I just have this feeling that boy is going to be early. Maybe because I want him to be late...we will see.
Belly button in or out? In!
What I miss? LOTS! Being able to get out of the car, off the couch, out of bed without feeling like I am 90 years old.
What I am looking forward to? I will say that I am nervous about having 2 babies under the age of 18 months. What were we thinking?!? Well, it doesn't really matter what we were thinking, God was thinking, sure you can handle it...no big deal. I have been thinking a lot about how Julianne is going to adjust to this new baby. Aside from her being a wonderful baby/toddler. She is a very independent little girl. She will just go in her room and read books for a LONG time. Sometimes I will try to sit down with her and read one to her and she "shoos" me away. She likes doing her own thing and is little Miss Independent. But, there are those times (usually in the evening) where she just wants me to hold her...she does the cling to my leg and say Mama, Mama, Mama...until I pick her up. I love it. Sometimes, I will just let her do it for a minute because it really does melt my heart. Along with just about everything else she does. Brothers and Sisters are the best gift you can give a child...so I am looking forward to Julianne being a big Sister!
