32 weeks.

Sadly I missed taking a photo last week. Our master bathroom was under construction and we had no electricity in there besides a plugged in lamp and we also were lacking a mirror. It is still a work in progress, but at least we were able to get the mirror back up for the time being.

32 weeks

How far along: 30 weeks 

Total weight gain: 19 lbs. 

Baby is the size of a: a head of lettuce

Maternity clothes: Yes

Stretch marks: Not yet but I feel like I am at the brink of not being able to stretch anymore!

Sleep: Better. We have not had to put our heat on most days anymore and I have been sleeping with our bathroom window open so I am not overheating! We also just bought some brand new sheets today and I am so excited! 

Best moment of this week: Today I was able to go to my doctors appointment, get my nails done, get some hospital bag stuff bought (travel size shampoo/body wash/face wash etc.), shop for my sweet neighbor's little girls 2nd birthday, and buy a few things for baby LC! It was so nice to have a kid free afternoon after a stressful week! 

Movement: Lots!

Food cravings: Candy and water. Today I ate Junior Mints for lunch. I know, healthy right. #momoftheyear

Anything making you queasy or sick: More and more this week I have not felt good. But my iron was extremely low so I got some rX iron supplements so hopefully not being exhausted helps! 

Aches or pains: Just typical pregnancy stuff. I did fall down the stairs at the movies last week, and Wednesday I pulled about 2/3 of my toe nail off… so those things hurt more...

Have you started to show yet: Yes 

Gender: GIRL!! 

Labor signs: A little at night when I am dehydrated… if I drink enough water then I am good!

Belly button in or out: More and more out by the day

Wedding rings on or off: On

What are you dreaming about: My town having serious issues (flooding, mudslides, tornadoes)… and I also had a dream something happened to an important piece of jewelry that I own. Weird stuff, folks! 

My to-do list is looking only slightly improved these days… I have been consumed with school work, mom work, and working on our bathroom. I think I take nesting to a whole new level - like, paint and re-do the entire master bathroom and water closet at 8 months pregnant. I have issues…

Things I still need to get done….

• Pre-register at the hospital 
• Pack my bag and buy a few more comfy clothes
• Wash the bouncy seat cover, the Rock-N-Play cover, and the swing cover
• Make sure my Medela pump still works (Do not waste your money on any other pump… trust me)
• Buy everything on my registry 
• Stock up on after baby supplies
• Buy a lamp for the nursery (I decided to go another route and stick with the original lamp)
• Do a project with my late grandmother's broaches for the nursery  This came out so cute, and I cannot wait to share! 
• Make nurses "thank-you" bags

These are some of the cute ideas I have come across on Pinterest for "thank you" bags….

I bought clear bags so I think mine will be similar to the last ones but I have slightly different contents! Hopefully I will be done with them this week! :)
