32 Weeks

How Far Along: 32 Weeks

Size of baby: Mason now weighs 3.75 pounds. He's about 16.7 inches long from head to heel! It’s amazing to think that he fits so perfectly into my round little belly.

Weight Gain/Loss: 17 pounds, steady at 1 pound per week.

Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothes now. I’ve been able to wear some of my short sleeved maternity shirts this week because we are having such nice weather. It’s been a nice change!  

Gender: It's a BOY!! Mason Carter Mitchell

Movement: Mason is moving so much these days. I bet he spends about ½ the day moving around. His movements seem to be more fluid and smooth now instead of kicks. However, there are still times when I get a sudden kick in the side!

Food Cravings: I could still eat french fries with every meal. But, if you know me I’ve always been this way! I love french fries!! So, I’m not sure if we can really call it a “pregnancy craving”. I also could eat spaghetti several times a week!

What I miss: The only thing I can think that I miss right now is sleeping on my back.

Sleep: My hips become very sore after a few hours of sleep. I have to switch the side I’m laying on about once an hour. I’ve also started having bad acid reflux/heartburn at night.

Symptoms: A few Braxton Hicks contractions, acid reflux/heartburn, and muscle soreness in my upper abdomen.

Best Moment this week: I had another doctor’s appointment this week. I ended up having them 2 weeks in a row due to the reschedule because of the snow last week. So, once again my favorite part of the week has been hearing Mason’s heartbeat at the Doctor’s appointment. It was around 150 bpm again this time.

What I am looking forward to: My Baby Shower this weekend! From what the hostesses will tell me, it is going to be really cute with plenty of baseball decorations! Also, Fonda, Jeanie, Brianna and their boys are coming down for the weekend to come to the shower. That means a lot that they would spend their whole weekend here to celebrate with us. I’m thinking it’s going to be a wonderful weekend!!
