32 weeks!

How far along? 32 weeks and 2 days! 

How big is baby? About 4 pounds and 17.5 inches! 

Total weight gain/loss: I'm right at that 25 lb gain mark. I'm hoping not to gain too much more, but I'm experiencing fluid retention like no other! So I'm really not sure how much actual weight I've gained. 

Maternity clothes? Exclusively. 

Sleep: I am crazy tired lately. 

Best moment this week: Feeling him roll and roll and hiccup :)

Movement: My little Bub is always on the move! 

Food cravings: Bread and butter! Bizarre. 

Food Aversions: None really. 

Gender: A sweet little boy!

Labor Signs: Not many. It actually feels like there are less BH contractions than there were. 

Pregnancy Symptoms? Super, super bad sciatica :( Insomnia, bad bloating, constant peeing, constipation. Did I already mention DEBILITATING sciatica? It's becoming a daily occurrence and there's not much I can do about it. My working days may be coming to an end pretty soon...

Belly Button in or out? Innie still! 

What I miss: Being able to move/sleep/walk normally. Also to not be in pain would be great. 

What I am looking forward to: Holding that baby butt and pinching those cheeks! 

Upcoming appointments: 2 weeks from now! 

Weekly Wisdom: Take a warm bath when you're able! It helps take weight off, with pain, and add some epsom salt and it feels like you're less bloated. 

Milestones: He's officially in my ribs! 

Bump Picture: 32 weeks! We had a date night! Nathan got me flowers, Cheesecake Factory, and chocolate covered strawberries!

Sleep: I am crazy tired lately. 

Best moment this week: Feeling him roll all over!

Pregnancy Symptoms? Mild sciatica, pubic bone pain, my belly gets hurt sometimes like it's being pulled downward, peeing when I sneeze/cough (lovely), leg cramps, heartburn, nausea, sore boobies again... and for some reason, some moody crying spells which I have luckily avoided this entire time until now.

Milestones: 30 weeks! About 10 more to go...

Bump Picture: Regular dresses are now shirt staples. It makes it easier and it's cheaper than buying maternity shirts. 

29.5 week belly!

Sometimes it's easier to wear a pre-pregnancy dress than a maternity shirt... for a shirt.
