32

This week, Avery Claire should be about the size of a jicama. She's still measuring above average!

What? You don't know what that is?! Don't have a basket of jicamas in your kitchen?

How far along: 32 weeks
Net weight gain/loss: up 22 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Yes
Stretch marks: No (fingers still crossed!!)
Belly button: an even more stretched out innie
Sleep: Some nights = pretty good; other nights = not so good
Baby movement: Yep. And she's fiesty!
Food cravings: Hidden Valley Ranch Dip and Ruffles….that made me sick to think about for awhile - I’m over that!
Food aversions: Onion rings from Burger King = heartburn!!! Those are off the menu for awhile!
What I miss: Sleep! I know it’s not going to get better once Avery Claire gets here…but at least I’ll be able to sleep on my stomach again!
Looking forward to: We’re having a baby shower!! The sweet ladies from our church in our hometown are throwing us a shower. We’re disappointed we won’t get to be there. (It’s too far to travel away from the hospital here!), but we are very excited about it!
Best moment this week: Seeing Avery Claire on the ultrasound, of course! And making it to 32 weeks! When all of these blood pressure issues started, 32 weeks was one of our major goals. We prayed to make it here to breathe a little easier.
Next goal: 34 weeks!
Milestones: Today, Avery Claire weighs 5lbs, 1oz. She didn’t gain much this week after that big growth spurt last week. Her eyes now dilate according to light and dark. Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up. In one of the pics we got today, her little cheeks look very chubby! And the ultrasound tech said, again, “Look at how much hair this baby has!”
