UPDATE: 32 WEEKS

How Far Along: 32 weeks
Total Weight Gain: 26lbs (weighing in at 124lbs)
Belly Circumference: 36"
Nausea: I feel it starting to come back a little. I am often saying "I don't feel good", kinda sick to my stomach and have headaches, probably because I am not eating enough, so I again have to start eating small meals more often throughout the day.
Mood Swings: I get impatient real easily. So sorry Kevin!! But I just gotta do what I wanna do when I need to do it...which is of course a challenge when pregnant. Some days I still cry about my eye because its still such a long road to normalcy, while at other times I hide it with my happiness of all the things I have accomplished in the bay's room and Kevin finishing the basement - so excited to have it all finished!!
Food Cravings: Nothing in particular lately... at the airport, I did crave licorice. And I have to say, I use to be a huge fan of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (people would joke I eat it 4 times a week) but I cant stand the taste of it now. I have to eat Velveeta or the Sharp Cheddar Deluxe kind, HA!
Other Symptoms: I often get short of breath and I've been noticing I breathe harder, even just while sitting still or laying down. I walk slower and its hard to bend over and put on my socks and shoes. I need slip ons! I 've been having some trouble sleeping, only because I am up every 2 hours to pee, and then its hard to get comfortable again with this big belly. It's even hard just to sit up to get out of bed because my abs don't work the same. Moving around and getting ready...everything is such a process and takes longer. The baby kicks A LOT! All day long. Well, not like fast kicks, but you'll see her foot poke out my left side, and then her butt will bulge out on my right side. Kevin loves feeling her. It's still just so weird to him that a human is growing inside me...and for me too, but I already have a cennection with her since she's in my belly :) She is definitely out growing her space. She has hiccups often! Kinda cool, but then annoying cuz you cant stop them, haha.
Miss Anything: Yes, beer. I am not a big drinker, but I love happy hours with friends and cant wait for some warm, sunny patio time and a Mich Golden Light with olives - a Minnesota martini its called!!! And of course my vision, and to be pretty again!
Sleep Time: I have been getting real tired often again. I would love a nap by 2pm, and or in bed by 8pm...but I am always busy with something, so I find myself pushing on. Busy-bee!
My Exercises: Still doing Shiatsu once a week and a massage at Massage Envy once a month.
Fun Moment Since Last Update: The baby shower my girlfriends put on for me. They did such an awesome job with it all...all the decorations, crafts and games. I loved seeing everyone!
Gender Idea: Girl
Maternity Clothes: Of course. I bought a few shorts and capris for Florida and didn't even get to wear them because it was kinda windy and chilly most days. Maybe wear them in April? If this snow ever goes away!??
Labor Signs: None. I haven't even felt any Braxton hicks since that one week...
Looking Forward To: Our 32 week appt this Thursday. We'll have a non stress test done, so we get to listen to baby's heart beating for 20 minutes straight, to hear how active she is. And then of course my family baby shower this Sunday! Eeeeeee!
