How far along? 32 weeks

Total weight gain: Up 7lbs total.  Yes, I gained 5lbs in 2 weeks.  Su-uck.  The funny thing is, when I was scarfing food like nothing, I wasn’t gaining weight.  Now that I get full after 2 bites, I start gaining.  Figures.  Also, now laying off the milkshakes and donuts.

Maternity clothes? Yes.  Still.  Forever.

Sleep: I have to get up a lot more often to pee these days and Smushy has been sick this week.  I got kicked out of my own bed for the first time ever.  Had to sleep in her room.  And this is why we got her a full size bed and skipped that toddler stuff.  I think we got a whole 2 hours of sleep total last night.  Of course that meant Smushy fell asleep way before naptime, and since I had an appointment, I couldn’t sleep.  Now it’s naptime and she’s not tired and I want to die.  So, yeah, more sleep please.

Food cravings: You know.  This and that.  Ok, nothing really.  This pregnancy fails at food.

Best moment this week: I think my special form of nesting has begun.  Nice since I didn’t have any of that the last time.

Movement: Oh yes.  Much movement.  Sometimes it’s so much I feel sick.

Gender: Boy. (Still.)  Also boring question.

Labor Signs: None.  Ish.  I had one night when the Braxton Hicks were time-able and super frequent, but I just needed water and rest.  All fine.  No biggie.

Belly Button in or out? Out-ish.

What I miss: Rolling over in bed without pain.  Oh!  And putting on pants like a normal person.  I’ve found I can either bend down or lift my leg, not both at once.

What I am looking forward to: I don’t know exactly.  I feel anxious all the time about everything.  I think I’m at the point when I start wanting to be done with this whole pregnancy mess and meet this little guy.

Weekly Wisdom: Not being able to get anything accomplished sucks unless you have an extra special awesome husband to take over and cover for you.  So get one of those.

Milestones: Third Trimester!  And from here on, the even weeks seem like a big deal.  I don’t know why.

My nesting isn’t like normal nesting.  I don’t have any urge to clean anything.  Dust and mess?  Meh.  He’s just going to have to live with it.  This is our reality.  However, I am obsessed with having everything ready.  Lists and lists of things I need to buy.  Making sure I have enough onesies in the right sizes and weather appropriate.  *Side note:  March due date?  Not helpful with the weather related questions.  I think I only get to buy one size in summer stuff. *  And I have weeks (weeks!) before my c-section, but I’ve already started packing my hospital bag.  Including buying a new bag that I am in love with and getting all the toiletries packed.  It is so weird!
