Aversions?
Sitting for long periods of time.

Desserts.

Nothing really coming to mind this week.
I actually ate a larger piece of meat at the Navy/Marine Corps Birthday Ball this weekend!

Still going ok - wishing I wouldn't wake up in the night. I know that I am snoring a lot more. Strange!

Gender?
Girl.

Movement?
Yes! Lots.

Swelling - always attractive. Tiredness. Achiness. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Having more energy.

Our first baby class tonight (breastfeeding) - and then "infant care" next Wed.

Skeleton is hardening (which I can feel sometimes) and she is losing the wrinkled look (aka fattening up).

Week 32 Wrap-Up

How far along are you?
At the end of 32 weeks.

The weekend with friends visiting and the CS baby shower! We are so extremely blessed to have such amazing friends.

Nothing standing out this week.

Aversions?
Too many hours between meals/snacks.

Sleep?
Still going ok - wishing I wouldn't wake up in the night. Needing more of it, though!

Gender?
Girl.

Movement?
Yes! A lot of movement. She is usually very active, but still isn't waking me up at night.

Symptoms?
Crying more (so fun! just ask Zac), and apparently a higher than normal glucose level. :( Had to have another glucose test this week - a 3-hour one. Hopefully results will be back soon. That was not fun.

What do I miss?
Working out more.

What I'm looking forward to this week?
Getting the glucose test results back. Going to the International Quilt Festival tomorrow, and the Navy/Marine Corps ball this weekend.

She now has toenails, fingernails, and hair! Her skin is becoming soft and smooth.
