Baby E 2 - 32 weeks

How far along: 

32 weeks! So much for keeping up on doing a post every 3 weeks...

Total weight gain:

I am up about 15 pounds from pre-pregnancy.

Size and growth of the baby: 

About the size of a large jicama. 

Seriously...what is that? 

According to babycenter he would be about 3 and 3/4 pounds and 16 inches long, but I think he is bigger than that. 

I have also been consistently measuring bigger and bigger. Two appointments ago baby was measuring a few days ahead. My last appointment he was measuring about a week ahead...and my appointment a few days ago he was measuring about a week and a half ahead!

Sex:

BOY!

Maternity clothes: 

Um. Have you seen me? ;)

Sleep:

Terrible. I don't know if it is because I am in the later stages of pregnancy or if it is because we are living in a foreign place, but I wake up numerous times during the night.

Best moment(s) of the week: 

There was one night last week where we all went to bed early. There were very minimal tears from Reagan...and we ALL slept ALL night long! The first (and only) time that has happened since we moved here.

Movement: 

This baby is SO active! I remember thinking Reagan was active, but there is no comparison to this baby. He is constantly (and painfully) moving almost all the time. I love to feel his little elbows, and hands, and knees that are constantly poking around right around my bellybutton though...I always think that is so neat!

Food cravings/aversions:

I haven't really been craving anything or had anything that sounds terrible.

My ice crunching has come back though. I remember wanting to chew on ice all the time with Reagan too.

Morning sickness:

Its been good lately.

Symptoms: 

Mainly just pain everywhere possible.

I don't remember being this uncomfortable with Reagan...especially not this early. It has been really wearing on me.

Labor signs :

A lot of contractions.

I went apple picking about a week ago...and had to do a lot of walking and carrying Reagan...and once I got home I had nonstop contractions pretty consistently about 5 minutes apart for several hours later....even into the evening. They weren't overly painful, just enough to be annoying...and I went to bed and woke up a few hours later to pee...and I was still having them consistently about 5 minutes apart. Of course, then I couldn't fall asleep because I was freaking myself out that I had put myself into labor really early.

Belly button in or out:

Out! And so painful.

What I miss:

My home. 

I miss the security of it...and the space. I miss feeling like we have a home.

Reagan doesn't seem happy here...and hasn't seemed to settle in yet and it breaks my heart that he doesn't understand and has to go through this.

What I'm looking forward to: 

I don't know. I am really looking forward to getting a house, but numerous people are shooting down my hopes that that will happen before the baby comes. 

I want to say I am looking forward to the baby coming...but I feel SO unprepared.

As much as I am going to miss our house in Cedar, I am looking forward to the buyers closing date...so that is one thing that will be behind us that we don't need to worry about. That...and the nice check that we will get ;)
