32 Weeks

This is a little picture we like to call sleep was more important than clean hair/awkward smile because I'm tired.
How Far Along: 32 weeks and 3 days

Size of baby: He's in the 72st percentile of his growth and should be somewhere around 4.5 lbs and about 17 inches.  We'll see.

Total Weight Gain: As of my doctor's appointment yesterday, I was up 23lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Love em, and apparently I have developed a deep abiding affinity for black tank tops. 

Gender: Still a boy - B Jr.

Movement: He regularly tries to escape via pushing his way out through the top of my stomach/does yoga all day/practices MMA or soccer/loves to move around especially when his daddy is talking :)

Sleep: I cannot get comfortable these days.  I will go to bed and then lay there for a long time until I decide to get up and watch tv for a little while.  It seems like I get to sleep around 11 or 11:30 these days.  While that doesn't seem very late, I need more sleep than that - especially since Hubs' alarm goes off at 5:30 and I never really get back to "sleep" after that.

What I miss:  Sleeping on my back, beer (it's just so good when it hits your lips), pizza (makes me so uncomfortable I can't even eat one bite), feeling like myself, having a sex drive (because it left about 7 months ago and has yet to return - my poor poor husband). 
 
Cravings: I like food.  I think I have to accept that my feelings toward Mexican food are more than just "I always like it" and have turned into a full on craving because I wake up in the morning and have to convince myself to not get a breakfast burrito.

Aversions: Mashed Potatoes (if they aren't super flavored), Chicken Wings and mint toothpaste. 

Symptoms: I start getting tired around 8:30pm, a bit of insomnia, some congestion, I think my belly gets bigger every single day (which was confirmed by our legal assistant on Tuesday when she told me that my belly, not me, got bigger over the weekend lol), a bit of nesting and my short fuse. 
Best Moment of the Week: My office threw me a baby shower yesterday and bought us a jogging stroller and some other goodies, including a Texas Longhorns bear.

Why yes that is a Tums container behind the little bear on top of my messy desk.
 What I'm Looking Forward To:  My baby shower with my dad's side of the family this weekend and just moving further along this road that end with my wonderful little guy being here :)
