By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.How far along? Exactly 32 weeks
Maternity clothes? Oh yes! I've also given up any kind of normal shoe. Thank God I have a nice boss who understands and lets me wear sandals to work :)
Stretch marks? Nope, please stay this way!
Sleep: Still good, still waking up early though!
Best moment this week: Getting our house painted! I've been wanting to do this forever and Jordan finally gave in :) Next up is re-doing our bathroom!
Movement: HUGE kicks! I can actually feel her when she moves from side to side of my belly.
Food cravings: Still craving Starbucks and the chocolate cravings are back again
Gender: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: None yet, she needs to cook longer! Just random Braxton Hicks contractions here and there.
Belly Button in or out? Still hasn't popped, I thought for sure it would have by now.
What I miss: My life. I do nothing but work...guess I better get used to that!
What I am looking forward to: Some relaxtion time, but I don't see that happening
Weekly Wisdom: Listen to your body. Take a break and sit when your body is telling you to do so.
I've had no exciting updates or pictures lately because I've honestly had no time to do them. I go to work everyday until about 5ish and then I come home and work more, whether it be working on the house or editing pictures (which I am soooo behind on!) until about 1o or 11 o'clock at night. The weeks are absolutely flying by since things have been so busy! Things should slow down a bit after 4th of July weekend. I will be on maternity leave with my photography business at that point, but I'll still be going into my "day job" everday basically until my water breaks. My photography business is doing awesome and I've already booked several weddings for 2010, which I'm very excited about :)
I've also gotten to that "freak out" stage where I'm beginning to worry about little things that I've never done before...Such as giving Sophia her bath, knowing how much to feed her, finding a pediatrician, and even just going to the store with her. Luckily Jordan and I have awesome families who have helped us out with so much, it's amazing...So it's nice to know I'll be able to call and bug them whenever I don't know how to do something or need help!
I'm also starting to get the wide-eyed looks and the "Oh my! You must be ready to pop any day now!" comments from strangers. The look on their faces when I tell them I have about 2 months to go is pretty hysterical :)
