32 weeks.

week: 32

baby stats: i seriously forgot at some point this week which week we were on.  i thought i lost a week somewhere, but thankfully it really is only 32.  whew.  anyway, this week, smalls is the size of a honeydew or a jicama or a squash.  the estimate from the internets is around 16.7 inches and somewhere around 3.75 lbs.  this little thumper has toenails and fingernails and hair and is gaining fat and all that other new baby goodness. 

aversions/cravings: cookies.  pancakes with syrup.  chips.  pasta with cream sauce.  sourdough bread.  cereal.  toast with butter.  decaf vanilla lattes.  hot cocoa.  rice in or on or with anything.  do i sound like a complainer yet? 

bump: i have an appointment on wednesday, so i am interested to see what's happening in this department.  i am theoretically supposed to be gaining a half pound of baby every week at this point, but i don't feel the intense growth-spurt belly that i felt with emme - at least, not yet.  i'm sure it will come.  

worries: not terrible this week.  i saw a chiropractor last week and will go again tomorrow (and weekly, probably, until the end).  getting my pelvis adjusted felt amazing, and had the added bonus of making bebe extra wiggly for a couple of days, so that was fun.  i've been doing inversions in the evening and my blood sugar has been in control, so both of those things help me think i'm being proactively helpful to this kiddo.  i went to a class for the diabetes last week, so that was also good in terms of getting on point with math for my meals, which i always love.  i am trying not to be super whiny about the gestational diabetes, but it really is much harder/more mentally trying for me than i expected.  lots of self-pitying - ha!  it doesn't help that justin's suggestion for every meal is tex mex, and that he drinks chocolate milk in front of me.  punk. 

boy or girl?: no clue right now.  i'm going to stick with boy, but i have no clue. 

missing the most: i think my lame cravings section does a good job of summarizing this...

pregnancy milestone: tomorrow night is my sprinkle (or sprinkly, as i like to call it).  my girlfriends throw a "light" shower for second babies.  though i'm not 100% wild about this idea (it's really hard for me to accept nice things being done for me), i think it will be really fun.  i wanted it to be as un-baby-shower-like as possible, so we're going to a fun bar/cafe at 8pm and i'm very excited to spend some time chatting with my ladies.
