32 weeks

How far along: 32 weeks!

Size of baby: According to thebump.com Pyper is the size of a squash. She is between 15.2 to 16.7 inches long and weighs between 2.5 to 3.8 pounds! ( We'll know more Thursday as to how big she really is)

Total weight gain: 24 lbs


Gender: IT'S A GIRL!!!!

Movement: Movement has been really strong this past week. She is really kicking and moving throughout the day and in the evening. I'm savoring every kick and roll, you forget so quickly how that actually feels after they are born.

Sleep: Sleep was really good this past week due to really busy days and a busy weekend. Just getting up 3 or 4 times to pee.

What I miss: Feeling somewhat cute in clothes.

Cravings: Cereal, honey bunches of oats to be exact and cinnamon toast.


Symptoms: Extra sore boobs, leaking a little colostrum, and my sides are sore when I wake up in the morning, starting to have random BH contractions too. Lost of lower back pain, especially if I sit or sleep wrong. All pretty normal stuff, nothing to complain about here.

Maternity clothes: Still a few normal pieces of clothes but mainly maternity.

Best moment this week: Finishing up her Poms for her room. Those were very time consuming but I'm pleased with how they turned out!!

-Finding a few cute decorative things for the Nursery!

-I went to the doctor yesterday and she is growing right on track. Also, she was head down again, YAY!!!! We are praying now that I'm 32 weeks that she is big enough that she won't flip around anymore and will stay head down.

-We discussed taking the cerclage out in 4 weeks, holy moly that fast!! What's even crazier is if for some reason the stitches were to be imbedded or hard to remove, we'll have to induce at 37 weeks for me to have an epidural and then take the stitches out and then just deliver this little princess.

Honestly, as anxious as I am to see this angel, I hope that taking the cerclage out is a piece of cake and I can go into labor on my own. I had Wade in 4 hours from the time my water broke at home so we know I deliver fairly fast and easy, I just feel if my body isn't ready and we induce it will be a long hard labor on both Pyper and I. The main thing is that we will do whatever is best for her!

I go to the fetal specialist on Thursday, and he will make the final decision on when it comes out. I'm so thankful that this pregnancy has gone so smoothly and that Pyper is growing perfectly. This week will be the last 4D sonogram we have. I'm excited to see her but sad that is it is our last. I keep telling myself it's our last because everything has gone so well though so that makes it better!!

She'll be here in 6 weeks or less and we just can't wait!!!
