32 Weeks

Well, here I am at 32 weeks.  There's really not much glamorous about this shot!  I seem to be growing bigger and bigger each and every day! According to Babycenter.com, I'll be gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. 

Overall, I'm feeling pretty well.  I do have bouts of exhaustion.  I'm pretty sure this is due to being 32 weeks pregnant AND chasing, lifting, and pleading with a stubborn, active, and tempermental 2.5 year-old little girl!  By the end of the day, my lower back pain is somewhat crippling.  I find it difficult to move and sleep.  This, mixed with 3-4 bathroom visits each night, results in little sleep.  I guess this is the baby's way of preparing me for sleep deprivation! 

I've had a few bizarre cravings this pregnancy too.  Most people know I don't like breakfast and I really don't enjoy sweets.  BUT... for the last few months I have feasted on icecream topped with chocolate chips, McDonalds egg and sausage biscuits, and Cool Ranch Doritos!
