Week 32
Topic: Baby
We had our Baby BBQ last Sunday. Thank you to everyone who could join us in the celebration and for spoiling our baby with all the awesome gifts! I will be posting pictures soon.

BABY
All five of Baby's senses are functional. The toenails are completely formed and the hair on the head continues to grow.

Based on today's doc appointment, Baby is in the head-down position which is good and also explains the kicks in the ribs! Baby's heart is sounding very healthy. We got to here is speed up as Baby kicked around, and then slow back to normal as Baby settled, which is a really good thing, according to the midwife.

MOM
I'm definitely showing signs of the prego waddle due to the pregnancy hormone, relaxin, which is loosening up ligaments in my hips. =)

I'm beginning to forget what a good night's rest is like. I often wake up from back or belly discomfort, so take the professionals' advise of using extra pillows to get my mis-shapen body situated, but then I'll wake up from being over-heated by the abundance of pillows. Once I can figure that out, I manage to get back to sleep, only to be woken by my crushed bladder... grrr... But as I fall back asleep, I feel Baby moving around in there and I can't help but smile.
