32 Week Bumpdate

I am 32 weeks and 1 day today! I can't believe I have 8 weeks or less until this sweet baby arrives. I am betting my husband that the baby will arrive the first week of May so I am guessing I have 6 weeks left.  I am so excited to hold and snuggle a new baby, but I'm really hoping I can get more rest before this little one arrives.

SYMPTOMS

I am SO tired these days. Thankfully I am not as tired as I was in my first trimester but I am napping most days and can't stay up past 9:30 at night. My husband has been getting up with the kids to help me get a little extra sleep and that makes a world of difference. We moved back to Arizona and have been staying with my inlaws until we can get a house. The kids have to share a room right now and they have really done awesome, but Siena can sometimes wake up and be a little noisy. Typically I would just let her work it out because she is never crying (just talking) and she will fall back to sleep, but with Noah in the same room I don't want him to wake up so I go in and get her settled. I will be so happy to have them in separate rooms again soon because then I won't need monitors for their room (besides Noah if he needs to go potty). We have had a lot of sickness since moving too and that has really effected everyones sleep as well. Overall, the kids have adjusted fairly well to the move and I hope they adjust just as well when we move into our new house.

I am having TONS of Braxton hicks contractions. Some of the time its just the usual belly tightening and other times it feels like menstrual cramps or even real contractions. I get pretty uncomfortable at night from the baby bouncing around and the Braxton hicks.

I am always so HOT! Arizona weather is amazing right now but it already feels like summer to me. haha.

This pregnancy has been trying for sure. I was not feeling great for a lot of it and then we have gone thru a lot of big life changes, having sassy toddlers and you have my hormones all over the place. I usually have such an even mood during pregnancy and I am rarely in a bad mood. This time I am grumpy a lot. I think it is partly because I feel so tired all the time. I am just thankful my husband can handle me and loves me anyways! haha!

CRAVINGS

I haven't been having that many crazy cravings these days! Mostly just my usual sweet tooth. I am glad that some of the things I was really wanting in the beginning (like dr. pepper) have subsided, but pizza is always a good idea in my book!!

WEIGHT GAIN

I have gained 17 lbs so far. I have definitely put on the weight in my third trimester! I will have quite a bit to lose postpartum to get back to where I feel comfy but I am actually looking forward to the challenge!!


HEY BABY

I love how active the baby is and I can't wait to see him/her with it's siblings! It has the hiccups at least 3 times per day! If it's sleep schedule is anything like it is on the inside when it arrives, it is safe to say I won't be getting much rest at night. Baby is SO active when I am trying to sleep and sometimes in the middle of the night. I am measuring a week ahead as of now and we got to see the baby 2 weeks ago and it's estimated weight is 3.5 pounds. I am excited to see what this baby will end up weighing at the end! It looks a lot like both of it's siblings depending on the angle. I can't believe we are so close to meeting this little one!!
