Pregnancy Notes – 32 weeks update

8 more weeks to go… Time seems to fly faster and faster my goodness!

How far along? 32 weeks! Total weight gain: 11kg. At my last checkup I officially stayed at the same weight as 4 weeks ago. Yet the baby is growing well (she’s now 1.7kg). That meal plan is pretty amazing. Stretch marks: Not yet. Sleep: Well… I’ll take as much as I can get. Some nights I couldn’t fall back asleep after waking in the middle of the night to pee. Sigh. But I’ve resolved to not stress over it. There is really no point adding bad mood to lack of sleep (double negative – you know?). And now when I need to switch sides from left to right (or vice versa) it gets more and more difficult, heavier, and just slightly achy around my lower abs area.. Best moment this week: The check-up last Tuesday when we got to see our baby again! Oh and last Sunday when we did just a short DIY session of casual pregnancy photo shoot. Fun! If we have time we want to take more photos (and then I’ll blog about it) but we’ll take it easy. No rush. That’s the best part about DIY.

32 weeks scan – don’t you think her cheeks look so chubby already? =p

Miss anything? not really. Movement: So last week I was guessing her head was already down – and my guess was right! (The doctor said that means I can go for natural birth and provided me with a pre-admission letter already.) Her body tends to lie on the right side of my tummy so movement-wise I usually feel her limbs moving on the left. And she’s still hiccuping on a daily basis, sometimes more than once a day. =p Food cravings: None. Anything making you queasy or sick? No. Gender: Girl Labour signs: None so far. Symptoms: Backache and mood swings (I even surprised myself with my most recent meltdown: I feel that I need more sleep. But I can’t sleep in even in weekends because I have to follow the meal plan. I was feeling so frustrated about the lack of sleep that I cried buckets. I’m usually not much of a crier at all so the amount of tears I had last Saturday was… whoa.. crazy.) Blame everything on the pregnancy hormones. Lol. But so yea since that day I promised myself I won’t get too worked up over lack of sleep or whatever. I’ll just take whatever I can get and be thankful it’s not any worse. Plus Robby was such a great support and comfort – I feel so loved. Belly button in or out? In Wedding rings on or off? On Happy or moody most of the time: Happier than last week Looking forward to: this weekend’s day of recollection with Vox Cordis choir. Probably the last time I can still participate in such events before baby comes =)
