By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.
Baby now weighs the same as a large jicama!
Total weight gain: Up 2 more lbs. 25 lbs total. Had my 32 week check up this week. Baby is growing normally and I am measuring right on time. Not too big, not too small. Yay!
Sleep: Much, much better sleep this week. I think I am finally getting over my cold. Also, I think my body has adjusted a little to accomdate baby. My ribs seem to have expanded a little and I am not as uncomfortable as I was before. I am sleeping in much longer spurts and trying to enjoy every night of solid sleep as I feel in another couple weeks I will most likely be uncomfortable again.
Best moments last week: My shower was last weekend. I had such a fun time! I received some really special homemade gifts that I will treasure for years to come. It was a beautiful shower and I'm so thankful to Becky, Kelsey and Deborah for all their hard work! Mom and Dad came home for the summer. So happy to have my family back together again for Mother's Day. Painting has begun on the Nursery! Dan is working on it and it is so fun for me to see Daddy helping to create a wonderful space for his son.
What I miss: Not pregnancy related but I miss my brother Aaron and his wife Jolene this week. I wish they were here so badly sometimes. If you guys are reading this: We love you so much and know God has a wonderful plans for you!!! ((Hugs))
What I am looking forward to: My younger brother is graduating from Denver Seminary this weekend. We are so proud of him!
Milestones: Starting my 8th month of pregnancy!!!
