32 weeks

Another week down. 32 weeks under my belt. I'm slowing down, I'm one of those people you don't want to get stuck walking behind in the mall or grocery store. I'm bumping into people and things, dropping things and catching them on my belly. I'm still able to get my socks on in the morning and take them off at night but am thankful that the majority of my shoes are slip-ons. This week, we're gonna pack our bag for the hospital. Just so we can be ready! BR is as feisty as ever, still lots of kicks and punches. I did an ultrasound at work and she has gotten so big that it's hard to tell what we were looking at other than the heart. I'm pretty sure she even kicked at the ultrasound prob a couple times. Girl likes her privacy. She weighs as much as a large jicama, about 4.5 lbs. There isn't really an increase in length but she's plumping right up. My maternity shirts are getting more and more fitted and I've still got just under 1o lbs to gain. yikes!!

31 weeks

31 weeks... it's getting harder and harder to eat a full meal at one time. It seems like my days off are full of going to the bathroom, eating and napping. Of course Bella and Audie are insistent on getting their fair share of attention. I'm really excited because we only have a week and a half before Nick comes home from Texas....He's gonna be shocked at how much my belly has grown. I know, I know, it STILL doesn't look impressive in pictures.BR is about 17 inches long now and won't get too much longer and weighs about 4lbs (about 4 naval oranges). She moves all over the place and there are times my belly looks like a bag of popcorn popping! The kicks and punches are getting so strong and she's consistently found a tickle spot on my right side that can stop me in my tracks!

30 weeks

We're down to the last 10 weeks! I'm still feeling pretty good, but definitely sleeping less. Or, I guess I should say, less at a time. Between waking up to go to the bathroom and the dogs wanting to go out before 5 am, I've been getting up pretty early every morning, work or not. My naps during my days off seem to be getting shorter and shorter....Probably all just in preparation for BRs schedule! BR is working on controlling her body temperature. She is starting to loose all the fine hair that covered her body to keep her warm. Her brain is developing more and more wrinkles for all the thinking she'll have to do in life and she is continuing to practice her breathing. She can see, but her eyesight is terrible, about 20/400 vision, so she can only see what's in front of her. Too bad it's just the uterus! BR weighs as much as a large cabbage, about 3lbs and is about 16 inches long!
