Waist measurement: 48 inches
Total weight gain/loss: up 15 lbs. 210 lbs. just about on track again. Been really watching the bad foods as much as possible
How much does Baby weigh?: 4 lbs
Maternity clothes? but of course!
Stretch marks? They are there. Growing and turning bright red-ish/purple on me.
Sleep: sleep is getting harder and harder now, but that's to be expected when you can't flip over easily. Getting up to pee 2-3 times a night makes long stretches of sleep kinda hard too...
Best moment this week: going to the dr and finding out that our u/s at 22 weeks was kind of a fluke. He's measuring about a week ahead by my count and right on for the dr's count. The nurse had put in the wrong dates and that's why dr was concerned about it. Also got some torture devices to help my swelling, aching feet, back aches, and fatigue. Not overly happy about them, but oh well, they do help cut down on the pain.
Movement: still very active.
Food cravings: cereal, milk, cheetos, orange soda, and some salty snacks.
Gender: I was right! Its a BOY!
Labor Signs: still just the BH contractions. Nothing to get excited about.
Belly Button in or out?: in, but super shallow. Just under 1/4 an inch deep now. Lookin kinda funny!
What I miss: breathing deeply and shaving my legs. UGH I hate not being able to daily anymore!
What I am looking forward to: the next appointment. Can't wait for the next ultrasound. I wanna see my baby Anthony again! We get our next ultrasound at the next appointment so that's awesome! Dr wants to make sure that he's still growing like he's supposed to and to evaluate his size. The dr at class the last week talked about shoulder dystocia which has to do with baby's size in comparison to mom's hips. Click the link to read more. Other than that, my shower is coming up soon! I'm SO excited! I can't wait to see everyone and play the games!

A 5 Lb sack of potatoes. Holy crap!
This week is a milestone of sorts: Babies born after this time tend to do well even if they are premature. Nearly 10 percent of babies are born before week 37, when they officially come to term. At 32 weeks, all major organs are functioning except the lungs, which may need further time to develop. But your little one doesn't exactly look like a rosy cherub--he weighs about 3 pounds, and his thin, wrinkly skin hasn't filled out with the layers of fat that develop later. Luckily, in many cases, all he'll need is some time in an environmentally controlled isolette to become the chubby angel you imagined.
