Eeks, today is May 1st. Which means, I can officially say that I am due next month. Time continues to fly by which I can't figure out if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Regardless, here's the 32 week update for Littlest Miss.
Size of Baby: By now, your baby weighs 3 3/4 pounds (about the size of 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.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: No clue. But we'll find out tomorrow. My guess is about 10 pounds. Not bad for 32 weeks of growing a human!
Maternity Clothes: Same! Feel like I wear the same things over and over again. But still a mix of maternity clothes, regular pants with the belly band, and regular shirts.
Gender: More pink and tu-tus. Another sweet baby GIRL!
Movement: Back to moving all the time. As in my entire stomach moves. Fingers crossed she's still head down.
Food Cravings: Nothing really this past week. Although I did have my nightly "treat" -- which this week was a mini Blue Bell ice cream sandwich.
What I miss: Honestly, not much.
Sleep: Never enough. I've been averaging 8+ hours of dead-to-the-world sleep, and still wake up exhausted. However, I have felt like I've been tossing and turning a bit more. Hopefully, this isn't a sign as to whats to come.
Symptoms: Ugh, back pain almost all the time. BH contractions if I sit to long. Both otherwise nothing.
Best Moment this week: Potentially settling on a name. Not ready to share it yet as knowing us we'll change it last minute, but either way, we are getting closer!
What I am looking forward to: My sprinkle. Moving into the new house hopefully before her arrival. Locating all necessary baby stuff. And of course, meeting her!
