How Far Along:32Weeks
Size of baby: My little guy is the size of a honeydew (4.5 lbs & 19 in).
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have gained 3 more pounds this week. I am up to 5 pounds of the 9 pounds I lost at the beginning.
Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity clothes but am able to fit into my regular scrub pants and scrub tops. I definitely am able to wear less scrubs now and find myself wearing t-shirts with my scrub pants.
Gender: A little boy!
Movement: My little guy is very active. He rolls and kicks quite often. I can tell he is still sideways though. His head is on my left and his feet on my right.
Sleep: I am sleeping the same. I wake up at specific times to potty...about every 2-3 hours.
What I miss: I miss sweet things. I definitely WILL have a piece of pumpkin pie tomorrow!
Cravings: I still am loving my Fruit Loops and apples. I have added Frosted Flakes and Flaming Hot Fritos to the list as well.
Symptoms: My feet are swelling pretty much every day now. My right ankle looks yucky too. It is weird that my feet actually look normal size. I normally have narrow feet. I can't wear Dansko's anymore to work only tennis shoes. I get very uncomfortable more often and I walk as fast as a snail. My lower legs are also getting swollen. I have pitting edema most of the time. The doctor (both the cardiologist & OB/GYN) told me I need to wear compression stockings ALL OF THE TIME!! I bought new ones just today. They also told me to stay off of my feet as much as I can and rest. Easier said than done, but I am trying really hard.
