How Far Along: 32 weeks
Total Weight Gain: 36 lbs. (goal at 40 weeks was 35 lbs - goal is now 44 lbs)
Maternity Clothes: Ummm yea, everything maternity except for undies. Wearing plus size undies now, if I have to go up another size I may invest in some maternity undies.
Movement: Very noticeable now. Baby is shaking his behind as I type - sticking it out to the left now. He was doing something to my bladder today while I was trying to grocery shop - felt like punching. Very uncomfortable! Baby does not move around like clockwork right now - although seems to be a lot more often than before. Most active in the evening and after meals.
Sleep: What is sleep? I have not had any for a month! No seriously, waking up every hour or 2 to either pee or adjust my sleeping position because something is bothering me. Common sleeping complaints: my hips ache, arms fall asleep, terrible leg cramps, too hot, or just generally can't sleep for no reason.
Gender: BOY!
Symptoms: pubic bone pain, vagina pain, round ligament pain at times, Braxton Hicks contractions, carpal tunnel syndrome, hands beginning round 2 of swelling, leg cramps when sleeping, sore feet, bones all over body crack when first getting up to move, tailbone pain.
Cravings: biggest one is ice cream. Other big ones: carbs, cereal, cold beverages
Things I Miss: shaving my legs, painting toes, bending over without farting, working out, sushi (!), sitting in my work chair without being in pain, my normal sized boobs.
Highlight of the Week: baby boy's brain looks normal now!

Next Appointment: Tuesday, 9/17 - regular biweekly OB check-up
Preggo Lifesavers: maternity belt, boppy cuddle pillow, foot massagers (the kind you put on the floor and just roll your foot over... or hubby's hands), pedicures, air conditioning
