32 weeks (4.5 years ago & today)

31 & 32 week comparable

32 weeks!


How far along: 32 weeks


How big is baby:    By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus.



Sleep:    Sleep has been decent.  Can't really complain.




Movement:   Very active!


Food cravings:  nothing really...haven't been very hungry, but if I had to pick something I'd say Oreos.




Food adversions: none specifically



Gender: It's still a BOY!!




Symptoms: Heartburn is back, but the Zantac helps



What do I miss: Sleeping on my stomach, regular clothes, working out, being able to take medicine without feeling guilty




Best moment of the week:   Not exactly the best moment, but I'll go with the most memorable.  On Thursday I got called into an office at work and was told my position was eliminated.  I had just hit my 4 year anniversary of working there.  However, they did have another position for me in a different hospital.  I consider myself lucky since 42 positions were cut and only 4 were able to be reassigned to other positions.

Baby B's Craiglist dresser....

...is almost done.  I need to touch up some areas still, but it's in the house and 99% of the way there (minus the clothing).  It was WAY more work that I had orginally thought.  The dresser itself needed about 4-5 coats of paint.  It seemed to take forever to dry between coats as well.

 
Here is the "before" picture


And here is the "after" picture

Overall, this project cost me about $85 in the price of the dresser, paint and 4 drawer knobs
