32 Weeks!!

According to "What to expect" this week, baby weighs almost 4 lbs & could be up to 19 inches long. Although that is a head to toe length, baby is actually back to a curled up position. Hopefully baby has also settled into the head-down, bottoms up position in preparation for birth. If it hasn't, there's still a good chance he/she will flip head down, even in the tight confines of my uterus.

While baby is still getting nourishment through the umbilical cord, it won't be long before it will be getting breast milk &/or formula. In anticipation of that momentous transition to mouth feeding, baby's digestive system is all set & ready to go. Because baby is accumulating more fat, his/her skin is finally turning opaque (like ours). Baby is looking more & more like a newborn!!

I think I'm ready to be done with this whole pregnancy thing. I'm still overall fine. But I've been having a lot acid reflux lately and it's not fun. Plus this baby is camped out on my right side and likes to kick/punch me and it's getting uncomfortable! Plus I look like a balloon cuz I'm all swollen. Only 56 days left to go. I still don't know where the time went!!!! I can now tell people I'm due next month! Aaaaaaaaaah.
