32 Weeks...and counting!

32 Weeks!!! Just 5 to go to our tentative new due date!!! Yesss I'm ready!!


Fetal Development: (and mom's comments):
The
baby is up to four pounds now (or LARGER if it's mine) and all five senses are functional. The toenails are completely formed and the hair on the head continues to grow (oh how the heartburn is telling me!).


Maternal Changes: (and mom's comments):
You may be visiting your care provider every two weeks at this point (yes, have another Ultrasound scheduled for next Wednesday to confirm how big he is and when our new Due Date will be). Your uterus is measuring about 5 inches above your navel and is pushing your organs every which way causing heartburn, constipation, indigestion and breathlessness (oh how this all is SO TRUE).
Drink lots of water and eat adequate fiber to ease the constipation and eat frequent small meals to help the heartburn and indigestion (BTW, NOTHING helps with the heartburn...even water gives me heartburn).

Ideas for Dad: (and mom's comments):
If you've chosen not to find out which gender your baby is, you may be trying to guess based on
Old Wives Tales. Or, your friends and relatives may be telling you what they think your baby is. Some of these theories can be really fun. For example, if Dad is more nervous, a daughter is on the way. (this is the Only one I can say might be true, because I'm having a boy and Chris is calm) If he's more relaxed, it's a boy. If Dad is getting lots of household projects done, a boy is coming. (Can't say that either ~ Chris has only put the crib together and helped me figure out the bassinets and things like that. Nothing out of the ordinary). If Dad isn't doing more projects, it's a girl. If Dad gains weight with Mom, it's a boy. (mom hasn't gained any.. in fact, mom is STILL under PrePreggos weight .. woop woop) If he stays the same weight-wise, it's a girl. (dad hasn't gained any and we're having a boy) So Dad? What's it gonna be?
