Unable to Beat the Heat

How far along?: 32 weeks

 How big is baby?: big! and i feel a little heavier every day.

Stretch marks?: i honestly don't even look or notice

 Sleep?: i am getting used to having to wake up to pee or roll over- and yes i need assistance or full concentration just to roll over now so it does in fact wake me up!

Food cravings? ice cream, but i think that was more because of the sweltering heat outside and less a craving. I am finally eating again so it's been exciting to eat lots of food!

Movement?: LOTS and lots of movement. at the doctor's office the doc was trying to get a heartbeat and she put the machine up to my stomach for a minute and found about 3 beats before Cecelia literally kicked the machine until it slid off my stomach. after that the doctor couldn't find a heart beat because she was moving too much too fast! Her kicks and VERY strong now and my whole belly moves and is visible to people around me. It kinda weirds some people out!

 Gender?: GIRL!

Belly button?: very stretched out, but still an innie!

What are you looking forward to this week? we finish out birthing class this week. it was actually really informative, but i will be glad when it's done! the whole class has scared me and made me more and more nervous for the whole actual giving birth process. Ignorance was kinda bliss, but at least now i know what to expect and what options there are! Then it's time for BABY SHOWERS! i am really excited for these!


Sidenote- being VERY pregnant in the is not something i recommend. i am naturally a very warm blooded person and kinda hate heat to begin with, but this summer is pure torture. Poor Kel has been cold so many times and i am just sweating! I haven't even been able to make it to the pool very much this summer because i have been working crazy hours, so there is literally no escaping this horrible heat. I dread going outside even if it's just to get into my car! I can't wait until autumn, in fact i am ok with just skipping the rest of summer and having a SUPER long Autumn.
