32 Weeks

How far along?: 32wks 1d
OMG 8 weeks. 55 days. Wow.

8 weeks is NOTHING. I cannot believe my little Peanut will be in here in 8 weeks or maybe even less! Jace is having his surgery on May 10th, anytime after that and before May 20th is good for me. I know that is wishful thinking though. I want Peanut to stay in there at least 37 wks too so really anytime after the 12th of May.

The emotions that come along with being 32 weeks pregnant are pretty overwhelming. All I can think about it how in just a few weeks we will meet the newest member of the Webb family. I cannot wait to lay eyes on my little Peanut. Wonder who s/he will look like? Most likely Jason but could I get a red headed baby? Please? Just one? That is all I am asking for!!! I have three gorgeous children (if I may say so myself!) and they are all perfect, but none of them have red hair. I secretly want a redheaded little girl named Rose. How cute is that???

Total weight gain: 24 lbs

Peanut’s growth: By now, Peanut weighs around 3.75 pounds and is about 17 inches long, think a large jicama.



Peanut is roughly gaining about a ½ of a pound a week (which shows on Mommy!). In fact, Peanut will gain a third to half of his/her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as s/he fattens up for survival outside the womb. S/he now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Peanuts skin is becoming soft and smooth as s/he plumps up in preparation for birth.

Maternity clothes: I need more short sleeve shirts. I feel like I wear the same 3 shirts every day. Old Navy and I are becoming close friends.

Sleep: Sleeping sucks. How is it that I am so tired but I am barely sleeping? I will tell you--- My big fat belly is all in the way. I am a belly sleeper and I cannot wait to sleep on my belly again (although sleeping oversized leaking boobs does not sound good either!). I think I will just cut a hole or two into my mattress and call it a day. Seriously.

Best moment of the week: Having Jason “nest”.
No joke. He is nesting. He is like a cleaning machine. His reason? His kids and pregnant wife should not have to live in a mess, nice! I am not talking about just cleaning the kitchen either here folks. He is DEEP cleaning! He is cleaning windows, vacuuming everything that can be vacuumed, dusting, doing laundry and whatever else you can think of. No closet, nook or cranny is safe around him this week. Although there will be nothing left for me to do when I am nesting, I am not complaining! Love him!

Worst moment of the week: realizing that 84 degrees is actually 93 degrees for a pregnant woman. My feet are swelling and I am sweating like a pig in July. Gross.

Movement: A LOT!!

Gender: Surprise

Food cravings: chocolate. I think that is only because it is in the house. Dang Easter Bunny!

Labor signs: I am having contractions but I am sure they are all braxton hicks.

What I miss most: sleeping on my belly

What I'm looking forward to: The weekend. HAHA I know I say this every week but come on, who does not love the weekend? Nylin starts Spring Soccer this weekend and I LOVE being a soccer mama!!!

Next appointment: April 14th.
