32 Weeks!

Today I am 32 weeks pregnant - 8 weeks to go!

Pregnancy Highlights:

Size of Baby: Baby H now weighs about 3.75 pounds about the size of a large Jicama (I have no idea what that is) and measures 16.7 inches long from the top of his head to his heels!  

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Roughly 20 pounds

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: Baby's heartbeat sounds great!

Maternity Clothes: YES

Gender: We are having a BOY!

Name:  COOPER THOMAS HILLEBRAND!

Movement: Yes! Yes! Yes! I can see him moving around now, I love it!

Sleep: Sleep is great! I'm not looking forward to that day when I can't sleep, sleep has always been my friend, I think I have a rude awakening in the next couple of months and years for that matter.

What I miss: Everything that I can't have!

Cravings: again, I'm craving anything that I can't have, that's an easy one! LOL

Symptoms: I'm starting to get the swollen feet. If I wear dress socks and the elastic is tight around my calf area I get big indents and my ankle swell up really bad. So I'm trying to stay away from those kinds of socks but it's hard when I have to dress up for work.

Best Moment This Week: So many things! We completed our birthing class, had a nice relaxing weekend and I received my baby shower invite in the mail the other day. I can't wait for March 3rd! And today we got the approval from the bank that we can start finishing our basement, Cooper is finally going to have a room of his own. I was thinking he was going to room with us forever. Now that means I get to go order our furniture, that's on the agenda for this upcoming weekend, we're heading to Babies R Us. I sure wish we had one of those in Dubuque.
