32 weeks- Squash

Baby may have turned so she’s in the head-down position by now, poised for her trip down the birth canal. And you may have noticed your nipples looking darker. That’s so a preemie can see them for breastfeeding -- isn't your body so amazing?

*How far along?: 32 weeks
* Total weight gain: Around 18, I am guessing. The same amount I had gained the day I delivered Wes :-/ I must remind myself that was low and I was sick almost the whole pregnancy!
* How big is baby: 3-4 lbs and about 16 inches based on the averages
* Next appointment: Friday at 1:45
* Maternity clothes?: wondering what the heck I am going to be wearing for the last 7 or so weeks when I am at work. My cool maternity clothes are limited. I was at the school today to drop some stuff off, and my room was HOT... wait until there are 850 or so more bodies in there next week. Yikes.
* Sleep?: short. I have been staying up to watch the olympics (I know, self inflicted), and Wes has been an early riser lately. Plus I am up at least a couple of times to use the restroom and switch positions.
* Best moment this week?: Nick actually suggested a name. It sucked (sorry, Babe), but at least he threw one out there. We have two names on our short list that I like, I am just not sure they are as good as Wesley.
* Movement?: She's a mover
* Food cravings?: same old sweets
* Pregnancy symptoms: soreness, waddling :)
* Labor signs?:  occasional Braxton Hicks contractions
* Belly button in or out?: In
*Gender: Girl
* What I miss: regular clothes, sleep
* What I'm looking forward to: Hearing baby's heartbeat Friday
* Milestone: Baby should have hair at this point (or at least peach fuzz). He should be gaining about 1/2 a pound per week
