32 Weeks Pregnant


At 32 weeks pregnant I am starting to feel very big! And it's kinda scary knowing I still have 8 weeks left and that I'm going to get even bigger! I have also started making involuntary grunting noises whenever I sit down or stand up--Kyle thinks they're cute. (or at least that's what he said...)

On the plus side, people can finally tell I'm pregnant which is nice and if my baby was born right now there's a 90%+ chance she would survive!

Good Things:
- I finally met with my new OB this week, and she's great!
- It's always fun watching my baby move and it's easier now for other people to feel/see her move too.
- I can still shave my legs and paint my toenails.
- I haven't had any swelling yet, and can still wear my wedding ring!

Bad Things: 
- I am SO tired! All the time. I just never seem to have any energy.
- I am also very uncomfortable and have a lot of stomach pain, aches, soreness, and indigestion.
- My baby's kicks have finally made their way into my ribs, eeek!
- My legs, feet, arms, hands fall asleep/go numb and tingly so easily. I constantly have to change positions to stay comfortable.

Scary Things:
-Diastasis Recti. Apparently my abs have split and separated from each other, I think it actually happened 5 or 6 weeks ago. But when I lean back my stomach does a weird triangle shape, because my uterus pokes out in the middle where my abs are now split. It's pretty common in pregnant women, but  I essentially have no use of my core muscles now, I always have to have help getting up, especially if I am leaning back at all.

Cravings:
- Cereal. Last week it was Lucky Charms, this week Frosted Mini-Wheats.

Randoms:
- My belly button is starting to pop, if I wear a thinner shirt you can now see it poking out!
- Sneezing. Ever since the very beginning of my pregnancy I noticed I just sneeze a lot more now. I'm not sure if it's just because my nose and sense of smell is more sensitive, but I sneeze at least 5 times a day every day, and sometimes up to 20!

Feeling big and tired.
But I love my baby already and I know in the end she'll be worth it!
