32 weeks

I am 32 weeks and 3 days

Pregnancy Highlights

• How Far Along: 32 Weeks
• Size of baby: a large jicama (almost 3.75lbs and 16.7 inches long)
• Total Weight Gain/Loss: 15 lbs total
  
• Maternity Clothes: I can wear my maternity clothes. I'm trying to hang out in dresses because the elastic on the pants hurts my belly.
  
• Gender: BOY! William (Will) Cooper Perry
• Movement: Will is definitely a mover. He moves all day long. Is this a sign of what's to come?
  
• Sleep: It's dicey. Some nights are better than others. I've taken to sleeping on the couch at least half way through the night. It's easier to prop up and avoid reflux and my side from hurting.
  
• What I miss: Running and Body Pump
• Cravings: Salads, Jersey Mike's sandwiches, soft drinks from a fountain and ice (pellet) - exclamation on the sandwich part.
  
• Symptoms: I can't reach my toes, which means I'll have to get pedicures at least twice a month. The toes are starting to swell at the end of the day. Aghhh! I'm at the point of being uncomfortable.
  
• Best Moment this week: Hitting 32 weeks with no signs of preterm labor! We have officially made it past the point when I delivered Zachary. It's been 6 years since I've been pregnant for more than 28 weeks. It dawned on me that I'm really only 6.5 - 7 weeks away from having Will. If make it to 39 weeks we'll probably go ahead and schedule a c-section, but the doctors are leaving it up to me. If Will is a hoss then I'll most definitely skip labor and go for the c-section.
• Awkward Moment: My van was getting the oil changed yesterday. I went to the gym and the only car available was Robbie's Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep is a 5 speed, which means I need to be as close as I can to change gears. My only problem... the belly. I can't gansta lean in the car because I need all the leverage I can get to push in the clutch. I had the steering wheel up as far as it would go (think school bus look). This gave me just enough room to maneuver the car. Obviously I won't be driving the Jeep unless it is an emergency.
