Pregnancy Highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 32 weeks!

Size of baby: 

Your baby's the size of a squash!

Still growing, your baby weighs in at about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds and measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches.

Baby Development This Week: 

·         He's getting ready for his descent -- he's likely in the head-down position now.

·         And he's probably feeling even more cramped.

Maternity Clothes: Regular shirts, stretchy capris/maternity bottoms.

Gender: IT’S A BOY! John Declan Leviner! He will be called Declan. Declan is of Irish origin and means full of goodness. J

Movement: If he’s not asleep, he is kicking! He’s an active little guy!

Sleep: I sleep whenever I can, but I usually only get 3-4 hours of sleep at a time…sometimes I get lucky and it’s more than that.

What I miss: Some foods and drinks, but mostly being able to lean over to pick up things without feeling huge and weird.

                                            

Cravings: Mostly salty foods.

Symptoms: heartburn, harder to move around and lean over, backaches, fatigue, feet swelling.

Best Moment this week: Thanks to everyone, who gave such great advice on my Help! blog post. I was also able to get books and educational films on pregnancy from our local library. It’s nice to get further informed on what’s ahead! J
