32 weeks!

Well, just a little behind...32 weeks, 6 days! It seems as though I like to wait until the last minute with these posts, but I'm just happy I get to them! I'll be 33 weeks on Thursday -- let's see if that post comes a little earlier than this one. If you'd like an excuse, I was out of town this weekend, and last -- does that work?! ;)

Baby girl was showered with love this past weekend. All of those close to us surrounded us with laughs, love, and baby gifts galore. Everyone did such an amazing job and I am so thankful for all the love that was put into my baby shower! {Sneak peek at the end}

32 weeks!

• How far along?: 32 weeks, 6 days
  
• Baby is the size of a: Squash (again..?)
  
• 
• Total weight gain/loss: +19ish? At my appointment last Tuesday, I had only gained 1 lb in the past month and doctor said as long as baby is measuring okay, I should be fine. But since this weekend (my shower with delicious food, treats, and goodies + road trip junk food), I've gained 3 lbs since my appt last week. Eesh! Back to eating better now, although I'm sure the doctor will be happy with the weight gain..? (as long as she doesn't know what it's actually from)
  
• The Bump: The bump has been moving like crazy and it's so weird/cool to watch!
  
• Symptoms: Leg cramps! I swear my cousin Carolyn jinxed me on that, because ever since she asked if I've been getting them, they've entered my life! Boooo Charlie Horses! (and yes, I've had plenty of bananas & water) -- doc says try magnesium with calcium. I'll probably pass on that.
  
• Food Cravings: I was so lucky to eat all that I did this weekend at the shower! Mmm..thanks to sister for the oreo truffle pops and rice crispy treats (and everything else!), thanks to my mother-in-law for the penne a la vodka and Johnson's popcorn, thanks to Auntie for the punch recipe we've used at all showers over the years (and to Heather for actually making it), thanks to Aunt Marylu for the pink champagne (and non-alcoholic version as well!), thanks to Reg for the meatballs, Carolyn for the Brie, Grandma for the cake, my momma for helping seester, and everyoneee else for contributing to making this preggo eat some delicioussss food this weekend! You guys are THE BEST!
  
• Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Don't believe so.
  
• Sleep: Trying to get lots of it these days (or should I say, nights?)
  
• What I miss: Missed out on the spiked punch at the shower..luckily they made a virgin kind as well! Yumm
  
• Weddings Rings On or Off: It's official......they are off....and I am sad about this! Currently wearing the ring my husband and I picked out for me on our honeymoon. It has his birthstone on it, as well as baby girl's birthstone (if she is actually born in November...we shall see!)
  
• Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes, actually, this came very easy for us contrary to what everyone told us about picking out names...but you'll just have to wait ;)
• Gender: Baby Barr is a girl! :)
  
• Movement: Oh yes..she moved the entire birthing class and I was watching that more than the labor video at times ;)
  
• Maternity Clothes: Same as last week..I wear a few maternity things but still squeezing into some of my non-maternity clothes. Shower dress was non-maternity.
  
• Labor Signs: N/A
• Best Moment of the Week: Receiving a gift in the mail today from "A.K." -- Aunt Kathy is still thinking of me :) and seeing all our family and friends (missed a few though) to celebrate the shower with them. I had such a great weekend overall and was sad to leave of course. The drive was my least favorite, but I ended up sitting in back for parts of it to stretch out my leggies and hang with the pup.
• 
• What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Unpacking baby's beautiful gifts and finding a home in her room for all of her stuff :)

And now the sneak peak of the wonderful baby shower -- appropriately themed "Ready to Pop!" as I am one popcorn obsessed individual :)
