8 months! Wow!

56 days to go!
Here's your 32 week update:

Baby's size: By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb.
Baby's development: She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.


Best of the week: Being able to feel Bella move more and more! Seeing her movements through my clothes!
Worst of the week: We had a very busy, but fun, weekend!  Mommy is tired!  Also, I'm becoming more and more emotional...welcome mood swings! :)
Side Effects: Mood swings, crying at the drop of a hat, and did I mention the bathroom visits? :)
Cravings: Taco Bell Mexican Pizza! I wanted one for 3 days and finally had one on Monday!
Anticipating: So excited to have finished our never ending trips to Alabama!  We are officially home for the remainder of the pregnancy!  Also, excited to decorate the nursery this weekend with my mom!  We also plan on washing all the clothes I have received and putting together all the nursery furniture!
Here are this week's goals:
  • Continue writing letters to Bella in my pregnancy journal -- I wrote several last week!
  • Buy the baby book I want from Books A Million
  • Check over registries and make adjustments
  • Continue filling out my pregnancy album
  • Read our new parent devotional
  • Finish reading pregnancy book (I did finally catch up to my current week) and BabyWise
  • Find curtains for the nursery
  • Finalize photographer!
  • Baby Laundry
  • Shower thank you cards
  • Start gather items that I need to pack for the hospital
  • Confirm hospital preregistration
Items Accomplished:
  •  Put together diaper changing table!
