32 Weeks!

Date: 02/09/2011 08:00:49 PM

We are deep in the 3rd Trimester folks. How are things shaping up?

How Far Along: 32 Weeks
Size of baby: Loralei is 4 to 4.5lbs and 17 to 19 inches long. (no wonder I can't breathe!)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Lets just say more than 10, less than 25! LOL
Maternity Clothes: No real change here. I did buy some Maternity tops for my showers.
Gender: ITS A GIRL, Loralei Louise DeForest
Movement: she loves to get really active right after dinner, and on my way to work. I love it!
Sleep: What a difference a week makes. In my own bed I sleep a SOLID 8hrs this is a HUGE upgrade from being up every hour in a hotel room!
What I miss: working out.
Cravings: I have a strong relationship with Cherry Limeades these days.
Symptoms: heartburn, baby in my ribs, numb tailbone, you know all the things that make pregnancy FUN! 
Best Moment this week: Throwing my dad his 50th birthday party, and finishing my LAST work trip!!!

I am home, and it is AWESOME! Sleeping in your own bed is grossly underrated, and using my giant pregnancy pillow is the best. The only thing missing? Well, Dave. :(  The good news is work is crazy, and that makes the week fly by to the weekend when we get to spend a few hours together.

I offically filed my FMLA paper work this week for maternity leave so I will be home with Loralei for 12 weeks starting with her grand debut.  We have a check up in the morning to see how things are going. I am sure we will get great news.  Another day closer to the best day of our lives.

Until next week,
