32 weeks

ok ok... I have been getting a ton of emails asking me to update my blog and although I have not personally responded to the majority of my emails (I am sorry, really) I am hearing you and I do miss you all.
I have been insanely busy lately. We put new flooring in my home and are working hard at getting this house presentable to sell. I have been doing some volunteer work for my neighborhood as well and just taking care of the kids, and of course it is that time of year(you know ren faire). So when I do read emails I only really have enough time to reply to the ones my clients are sending me. Even Candace and I are having a hard time finding a connection at times so really it's not personal. Just life...

Ok so on to the good stuff. The pregnancy is going well and Friday I hit 32 weeks. I had a midwife appt this week and my BP is great 120/70, I gained no weight in the last 3 weeks, in fact I think I actually lost some weight because Mia is growing but I didn't. Fundal height is measuring 32 weeks, my iron checked out but I do need to watch it(that is a first for me). No swelling in my legs or ankles. i had a trace of protein but that has more to do with the fact that the day before I had only about 40g of protein total to eat. I had a meatless soup for dinner, but it was so yummy!

ok so on to what you are really here for, the belly picture.
32 weeks and 1 day
32weeks 1day

The baby has started keeping me up at night. I am half tempted to call Alex and Candace every time she wakes me up to prepare them for her schedule lol. That would be a hoot wouldn't it (insert evil grin here).
She is head down and moving well into my pelvis now and so when she turns her head it grates on my cervix and I can feel it deep in my vagina. It is actually quite painful which is also very surprising to me. Last night she did sleep though which was great. She had been very active up until about midnight when she settled and went to sleep. Up until them though I was in a lot of pain every time she moved. Her movements are also very physically jarring to me. I could be sitting here and then she will move and my whole body will react to it. It's crazy.
Anyhow, everything is well with me and I hope you guys are all doing well too... I miss you!

OMGOSH, you look FABULOUS!!!! I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well. That stinks about the pain and lack of sleep, but that will all be over before you know it and Mia will be keeping her Mommy and Daddy awake! LOL! Miss you!

You look great! I hear you on the late pregnancy discomforts...I imagine it gets worse every time, and I am finding the second time around hard enough! Best wishes to you all during these last few weeks of waiting for baby :-)
