32 weeks

LB is the size of a jicama.... 3.75 lbs and 16.75 inches.  They say it's getting cramped in there and that he should be moving less because of how snug it is.  I have not noticed the decrease in movements yet, but it is certainly cramped.  I find myself often short of breath just from standing up, or eating.  He kicks my bladder far more than Brenna ever did, she really just focused on the right ribs.  LB is showing me how versatile he is because it's my bladder, hips, occasionally a rib, often my stomach (I can tell because of instant and fleeting heartburn or feeling of intense hunger.)  One positive is that I haven't really swollen up at all.  I can still see definition in my calves, ankles and feet.  I can still put my wedding rings on.  I feel good about that :)  Half of my weight gain from this point on will go directly to baby.  I'm up about 12 lbs from pre pregnancy, which I'm kinda surprised about since I feel like I'm eating more junk food this time and since I'm not working and it's so hot out, I'm definitely not as active.  Even though I am moving around with Brenna quite a bit, I really lay on the floor a lot and let her come to me.  Thankfully she doesn't seem to mind or even notice. She does like to poke at my belly, though.  When she sits on my lap, she uses it like a lumbar support and just leans back into it.  It's not very comfortable for me, but I can't seem to get her to sit on my knee or just one leg.  She'll even lay her head back on it.  hehe.  She's gonna be pretty disappointed in a couple months when it's gone!
