baby #2: 32 weeks

_MG_2345Baby’s size: The book says she’s nearly 19 inches long and almost 4 pounds, but we had an ultrasound this week and she actually came in at about 3 pounds 5 ounces.
Maternity clothes?: Um yes.
Gender: She was confirmed to still be a little girl at our ultrasound!
Symptoms: Achy pelvis, but that’s all.
Sleep: If I’m really exhausted, then I sleep great. If I’m just “tired”, I toss and turn a lot.
Movement: This girl is almost always moving. I’ll be sitting in a meeting and she actually distracts me! I feel her even when I’m running sometimes, which is so odd, since I think exercise used to put Kaya to sleep.
Cravings: We are not even going to talk about how much ice cream I’ve had this week… I’m keeping Kroger in business all on my own, probably!
What I miss: Nada.
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Still a little nauseous here and there.
Belly Button in or out?: In.
Exercising?: Ran 20 miles and walked 4. This week felt a lot easier exercise-wise than the previous one!
Mood: Pregnancy hormones are crazy. I’ll want to cry and not know why… and other days I’m completely fine.
Best moment this week: We had a bit of an unexpected ultrasound this week. As I’ve mentioned before, my fundal height has been measuring about a week behind every time I visit my OB/midwife. This week, I measured even further behind, so my midwife ordered an ultrasound to check on Peanut’s growth. As far as I know, everything looked great.

It was so amazing to see her again now that she’s so much bigger and more developed. She was blinking, grabbing her toes, swallowing fluid, and practicing breathing. She even covered up her little face at one point so we couldn’t see her! I can’t wait to kiss these cute cheeks so soon.

Comparison: Same shirt, different bump! 32 weeks with Kaya! This one definitely looks and feels lower to me.32weekcomparison
