32 Weeks 4 Days

How Far Along: 32 Weeks  4 Days (7 weeks 3 days until due date)

Size of baby:  16.7 inches long and weighs 3.75 pounds (size of a large jicama)

Gender: Girl - Emma

Maternity Clothes: Yes, all maternity.

Weight gain: + 16 pounds (official measurement Thursday at Doctor's appt.)

Movement: Still very active, about once an hour. Emma was quiet for two days this past week, moving but not as often.

Symptoms: Hiccups have lessened a good bit. Tired. Uncomfortable. Trying not too complain too often.

 What I miss: Energy and being more agile. Excited and ready for Emma's arrival.

Cravings: Baking has commenced. I can't seem to get enough sweets, which isn't all related to pregnancy.

Best moment this week: Greg and I are getting the few last items needed for Emma's nursery. (I wanted to get this done before January so that I don't have to do anything during that month.) The Nutcracker was great - enjoyed the music and dancing. We are also trained in adult, child and infant CPR, which was our last class at St. Mary's. Next hospital visit will be for Emma's birthday.

What I am looking forward to: Short work week then Christmas week. Greg and I are going to enjoy our last quiet Christmas for awhile! Doctor's appointment Thursday.
