Growing belly...

 I have done absolutely terrible about taking pictures of my growing belly. Mostly due to the moving and just being so busy and by the time I have time to take a picture I really don't have the energy to try to look cute! Ha! Here's a few from my phone. I promise to take a "real" one soon.

(Oct 5th) In this one I was 21 weeks, 5 days.

 (Oct 17th)

23 weeks, 3 days & and new do. I miss my normal hair but it's a fun change!

(Nov 28th)

 29 weeks, 4 days

I can't lie, I don't see a huge difference but maybe it's just because I'm looking at myself everyday.


TODAY:
How far along? 32 Weeks today!
Total weight gain? 30 lbs. Ick... just typing that number raises my blood pressure. The doctor says that I'm doing good so fingers crossed that breast feeding will help it come off!
Maternity clothes? Yep... and growing out of them! I'm determined not to buy anymore though! Only 8 weeks left!
Stretch marks? Not yet. I'm driving Cass crazy asking him if there are any that I just can't see. Stretch marks have been a major source of stress for me. haha!
Sleep? Hah! I wish!
Best moment this week? A few days ago she had the hiccups for the first time. Cass and I just sat there with our hands on my belly smiling. The best part of everyday is feeling her move around (except the ones that hurt or make me pee!)
Miss anything? Mimosas still! And feta cheese.
Movement? All the time!
Food Cravings? Not really. Turns out that I'm anemic so I'm having to make myself eat lots of red meat, spinach, eggs and other iron rich foods.
Anything make you queasy or sick? Still a few things but I've gotten pretty good at figuring out what to stay away from.
Have you started to show yet? A ton. However, my boobs just keep getting bigger and bigger so I think it makes my stomach not look quite as big.
Labor signs? No - thank goodness! Although I did have a scary trip to the hospital 2 weeks ago!
Symptoms? A little heartburn, nothing too bad. My back, ribs and hips are hurting pretty bad. BUT THANKFULLY - no noticeable swelling and my nose still looks normal. The nose spreading thing has really stressed me out too! Haha! But nothing yet! And all of my shoes still fit - not that I would even want to wear heels right now, but I could get them on if I wanted.
News from the doctor? I'm anemic - that's not very exciting but at least it explains why I'm SO tired and feeling pretty crappy and it explains the whole heart palpitation thing. Glucose test came back good AND I'm measuring two weeks ahead. She says that I'm "cooking a big healthy baby!" haha! In a few weeks she will do an ultrasound to see if we should move the due date up.
Belly button in or out? Ugh. OUT. Really really out and has been for 2 months.
Happy or moody most of the time? Pretty happy. However, being so tired usually takes a toll on me by the end of the week and I get pretty weepy.
Looking forward to? The holidays! Not that I usually hold back with my treat eating during the holidays, but I'm particularly happy to have an excuse to not care! I can't wait to eat every cookie and piece of fudge that I can get my chubby little fingers on! After all, I have to keep "cooking a big, healthy baby!"
