Sweet Baby weighs as much as a Jicama!

I cannot believe I’m already 32 weeks along! Not before long Sweet Baby will be here and I’m counting down the days!! I have the strongest feeling she’s going to be here by mid July. I want her to bake as long as she can, but honestly I can’t wait to meet her already. 🙂

I’m feeling good, but I’m getting extremely tired. Lots of naps have kept me going throughout the day.

About our baby: By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You’re gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she’ll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth. (summary and weekly image from babycenter)

About me: So excited, only 8 more weeks until I get to meet my precious baby!
How far along? 32 Weeks 2 Days
Total weight gain: 25lbs
Maternity clothes? I have two maternity shirts that I love from my sister in law!
Stretch marks? Just by my scars from my gallbladder removal.
Sleep: Not much at night, but plenty of naps!
Best moment this week: Celebrating my nephew’s 1st birthday!

Worst moment this week: Rain, rain, rain. Made me even more tired!

Miss Anything? A medium burger.. mmm
Movement: Yes! 🙂
Food cravings: Grapefruit, strawberries and watermelon!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Raw ground meat/chicken.
Gender: Baby GIRL!
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Extra tired/exhausted.
Belly Button in or out? Small and closed in, but not pushed out.
Wedding rings on or off? Off.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! 🙂
Looking forward to: Going to interview pediatricians! 🙂

Don’t you love the pound a week phase? 😉 Here’s hoping you get some energy back soon. It’s hard in the heat.

Basically the potato recipes are very good health for babies & women. Now i heard specially for pregnant also is very good news 🙂

Take time to cherish these last few weeks — yes, you’ll be miserable and DONE … but you’ll miss feeling her in there and just the “being” pregnant part. I always did.

I have never heard of that fruit before. I am really tired lately too. Wouldn’t make it through the day without an afternoon nap. Can’t wait to see what your little one looks like.
