How far along? 32 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +18.4 lbs. total
Maternity clothes? Pretty shocking that I’m still able to use the BellaBand over non-maternity jeans and dress pants. I’ve also been wearing maternity shorts, pants and some tops. Dresses are definitely the most comfortable choice lately.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleeping better this week. I’ve discovered using lots of pillows and not sleeping on my right side minimizes the lower back pain, so that has been a huge relief. Only thing that has started this week is waking up once to go to the bathroom, no avoiding it anymore!
Miss Anything? Moving about “quickly.” I’m still moving pretty slow, particularly when sitting/standing and getting into/out of the car.
Movement: Lots of movement still. Feeling tons of kicks as well as when he repositions and flips from side to side…it’s the coolest thing!
Food cravings: fresh fruit, still on the watermelon kick! I honestly think I’ve eaten my body weight in watermelon this past month!!
Anything making you queasy or sick? I keep knocking on wood…I have had zero morning sickness or any sickness for that matter!
Symptoms? Lower back pain- this unfortunately has not subsided at all, but I’ve learned to manage it better. Some days are better than others, but it’s pretty painful overall. Nasal congestion along with the growing/stretching belly is still making it challenging to get a good, deep breath in. Left ear clogging- still happening just about daily at some point.

Have you started to show yet? I’d say so!
Gender: It’s a BOY!!!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? It’s super stretched and flat at this point. By the end of the day, there’s a small part of skin that pokes out, but goes back to flat by the morning. It’s only a matter of time before it’s an outie, or maybe it’ll just stay the way it is?
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Exercise? I’m still not in any condition to try walking on the treadmill. I did laps in my pool twice, but that was it.
Looking forward to: My mom coming up this weekend!!! We’re having a small get together this Sunday to celebrate our baby boy on the way (aka a co-ed baby shower!) with our friends here.
