Baby #3 | 32 Weeks


First and foremost, baby's heartbeat was perfectly normal at my appointment last week! So thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers on that one. I was definitely freaked out about it.

How far along? 32 weeks - Holy cow, how did we even get here!??
Maternity clothes: See pictures above. This is what we're down to folks - same outfit with a different cardigan. Unless I'm at home, of course, and then it's just tee shirt + comfy pants.
Stretch marks? None. Also, I did have someone reach out concerned about the Palmer's cocoa butter lotion and oil that I'd suggested before. Here's the deal. What I read about it was that it only has a small trace of caffeine in it. I stopped using it because I stopped any and all forms of caffeine from the moment I found out it could even be an issue. I'm now using the body lotion that I used before I was pregnant and love it, so I'll just continue using that. If I were pregnant again, I might still try the Palmers, I don't know. But I didn't mean to freak anyone out that it was a horrible product or anything. I really don't believe that. Just, under my circumstances, I didn't want to take any chances. That's all. 
Sleep: Sleep has definitely gone down hill. I've been waking up in the middle of the night to take a bath, move to the recliner downstairs, or just to toss and turn. If I remember correctly with Holden, once the sleep goes, she gone! Lord help me!
Best moment this week: Technically this was last week, but definitely hearing the baby's heartbeat was back to normal!!!
Miss anything? Lol, sleep!!
Movement: Tons! The Braxton-Hicks contractions have been real, my friends. I read that baby moving a lot can cause them and I definitely believe it. 
Food cravings? Not really. 
Anything make you queasy or sick? Just the flu that we had last week, but all else is good.
Gender prediction: BOY!
Labor signs: Definitely Braxton-Hicks contractions!
Symptoms: (Read above)
Belly button in or out? Outtie
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood most of the time: Mood has been decent-ish.
Looking forward to: Meeting this lil fella!
Total weight gain: 30 lbs.
