32 Weeks

How your baby's growing: 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. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

Only 8 weeks to go! I can't believe how fast the time is going by. Seems like yesterday I was just 6 months along. I'm still feeling pretty good, just a little sore and sleepy. But that's to be expected. I need to go to bed earlier, but I just cannot get myself used to laying down at 9:00. I have to watch Grey's Anatomy on Thursday's and it doesn't go off until 10:00! Everyone tells me to sleep now because I won't be able to sleep that much when the baby arrives. I'm trying...it's just not happening yet. At least I get an extra hour this weekend because of daylight savings time.

I have sorted through all of the gifts we received from our showers. Wow! I don't need to buy any clothes for at least 3 months. :) We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our friends and family at both of our baby showers. We are truly blessed! We are currently trying to organize the nursery and put away everything. As soon as that is done, I promise to post pictures of the nursery!

We still haven't decided on a name. We have about 5 names we like, and of course each of our top picks is different. Maybe when we see her we will know what the right name is.
