32 Weeks

How far along: 32 Weeks, 4 Days
Total weight gain/loss: 30 lbs....I might stop reporting this, it is getting scary!!
Maternity clothes: Yep...even some of those are getting too tight.  :( 
Stretch marks: Negative
Sleep: Dear Sleep, I miss you and probably won't be seeing a good night of you for awhile.  Please don't forget about me, I will return as soon I can (hopefully)!  Love, Codi
Best moment this week: Since I've missed a few weeks I have a couple: Week 30's best moment was going to the doctor and hearing the heartbeat again - I always love that!  Week 31's best moment was definitely my baby shower and seeing our Dallas friends!  Week 32's best moment was starting on the nursery - I am so so so excited to start putting everything together!!!
Miss anything: Lots - sleep (for starters), sushi (this will be one of my first post-pregnancy meals for sure), putting my shoes on with no effort (this just about kills me every morning!), and last but not least I miss being able to walk up the stairs without getting totally winded!!    

Movement: Lots and lots of movement!  We can actually see my belly moving now - pretty crazy!
Food cravings: Chinese food, Olive Garden and anything and everything sweet.
Anything making me queasy or sick: Nope!

Gender: GIRL!!!!

Labor Signs: Negative.

Symptoms: My hips are so achy and heartburn is getting the best of me - I am now carrying tums around in my purse. 
Belly button in or out:  Do I have to admit it?  Ou....(ahem)....ou....(ahem)....OUT...there I said it! 
Belly button ring in or out: Out. :(

Wedding rings on or off: On, swelling has not been as much of an issue the past couple of weeks (knock on wood!)
Happy or moody most of the time:  So happy!  I got a little stressed during Week 30 - I was sick and stressing about the nursery, but I'm back to being happy now! 

Most surprised about:  Week 30 - I was most surprised about how much worse you feel when you get sick pregnant...just a common cold can totally knock you out!  Week 31 - that I survived my first (and only) ACL preggers.  Probably not one of my best ideas, but I survived and now I can say that I've been.  Week 32 - how many people commented on "how big I am" this week.  Seriously, everywhere I turned people were making comments to me!  Some of the best: "Wow, you've really ballooned in the past couple of weeks.", "You have 2 months left!  No way!  There is seriously no way!", and the best one "You are going to need a trailer to get around pretty soon."
Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery and my next baby shower!!! 

Dallas Baby Shower Extravaganza!!

My wonderful Dallas friends threw me my first baby shower last Saturday and it was so much fun!!  It was so good to see everybody and catch up...I miss them all so much.  I just want to say thank you to all of the ladies that came to dote on this precious little gem I'm growing right now!!  I appreciate you all so much and it was so thoughtful of you to throw me a shower.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
