32 Weeks

We finally made it to 32 weeks.  Felt like a year since our BFP. We only have 8 more weeks until due date.  This past week I have been so tired all day long.  Sleeping at night is now a challenge.  I can not seem to get confortable at all.  I stopped taking my diclectin (morning sickness helper pills) for about a week now and have been getting sick at night the past few nights.  I hate getting sick, but I also don't want to be taking 3-5 pills a day anymore.

Today I had a midwife appointment and learned alot and feel a little less stressed out.  Midwife was a little concerned about the amount of weight I gained since my last appointment, which was about 3 pounds a week.  She said that the overall total of 50 pounds is still okay since I am so tall.  Also my feet and ankles are very swollen so she wants me to put my feet up whenever possible and don't sit at my desk (at work) for too long without a break.  Blood pressure was a little high 130/80.

We talked about sleeping on my back, and I mentioned that I have a hard time sleeping on my left, like we are supposed to.  I am more comfortable sleeping on my right side.  She said that my body will tell me if and when I am doing something that is wrong for the baby so I am good to sleep on my right side.

Also chatted a bit about natural labour of a 10 pound baby, which has me very concerned.  Again, because of my height I should be fine.  I have to stop watching youtube videos of labour, it is starting to freak me right out!! Baby Mason has changed spots and is now head down :)

Weight Gain:  Well, I have now gained a total of 50 pounds! :(

Wedding Rings:  Off :(

Movements: All the time and I love it!

Sleep:  Some nights are okay, but most nights I toss and turn all night.  I feel most nauseous at night which makes sleeping uncomfortable.

 Countdown:  One more month until my husband is back in Canada, and 7 weeks and 3 days until due date!! :)

Well we are prepared and ready for baby to arrive, I keep going into his room and checking over everything and picturing him in his crib and his car seat.  Here is a picture of his car seat all ready to go for him:


That's it for the 32 week update.  I am hoping that the next 5 weeks go by really fast.

  1. I cant believe your at 32 weeks already! I cant imagine being there yet. I started making a blanket for Liam yesterday and thought "wow, I'm really getting somewhere..." i cant even imagine having the carseat ready. :)

  2. I wish I had the skills to make a blanket for Mason, it would sure keep me busy when my husband is gone away for work. :)
