32 weeks

I don't know why 32 weeks seems like such a big milestone but it does. I am 32 weeks! Only 8 more weeks to go, less than 2 months. :) Tomorrow is Father's Day & yes, it's still surreal that we're expecting a baby this year. That we have cause to celebrate because Mike is a dad in waiting. :) She's been relatively active this week, off & on. I believe Monday was super active day for her. I felt her somersaulting and just really being all kinds of wiggly. Mike even felt her moving in there. It's been a more uncomfortable week. At one point she was uber low & against my spine. It was hurting to stand at the counter & put together a snack. Yup, she's getting bigger. :)

Ticker info: One says 4.5 lbs & the other says just over 4 lbs. Apparently she's 17.2 inches long (or so).  Almost a foot & a half baby in there. *shaking head in disbelief* I would definitely believe the length if she's tall like daddy. I'm only 5'3.5 now(use to be 5'4.5) but her daddy is 6'3. Will our daughter be short like me or will she be tall like her daddy? I can't wait to find out & I will enjoy watching her grow up.
More pregnancy fun. Insomnia is back. For some reason my body/mind hates the 2 o'clock hour. 4 out of the 5 days I have been wide awake by/around 2:30 in the morning. I generally stay awake til nearly 5 am. After falling back to sleep I'm usually awake between 7:30 & 8:30. Exciting I know. Heartburn has decided to come back quite a bit. Usually it's only mild but it's present quite a bit. Also....nausea!!! 3rd Trimester morning sickness? I've heard of this but it'd never happen to me, right? I haven't gotten sick yet but I was very close the other day. Hopefully it just stays in the nausea phase. It does suck that nearly every single time I eat anything I get nauseous. Food is repulsive most of the time. We were suppose to go to dinner last night & I actually opted to stay in. WHAT?!?! That's not me, I never turn down going out to eat. Ugh. Even now as I write this at 3 am I feel nauseous but it's definitely from the cold water in my hot tummy. A friend had this in her first trimester, I get it in my 3rd. The only upside to 3rd trimester morning sickness (if it gets to that point) is I'd probably not gain a bunch. Woohoo! Doctor only has me at 14 lbs gained. Awesome! :)

Baby stuff is coming along. I've gotten most of the stuff we need. I need to go through a bag of stuff I purposely threw everything into that I didn't want to deal with. I think mostly bath/kitchen stuff. I've washed quite a few loads of baby laundry & I still have lots more to do. I do have the pad & a sheet on the crib. Saving my jungle themed stuff for later so for now it's just a light pink sheet with tiny white roses. Then her 3 stuffed toys sitting very nicely in there. I started to write out everything we have but that's boring & will take forever. We have a lot of stuff. :) And I can say that if she came today we'd be ready. My bag isn't ready yet but we have everything I think we'd need for a newborn. I think! I'm hoping to do a little more shopping with Mike this weekend. Pick out fun stuff mostly, I've already seen a few toys I want but I wanted to get all the essentials first. :)

It's getting closer & closer and I can't wait. Hopefully less than 2 months til our baby girl is here! :)
