Weekly Survey (A Day Late...)

How far along are you? 32 weeks

How big is baby? According to my weekly email from the America Pregnancy Association, baby is a little over 16 inches long and weighs between 4 and 4 ½ pounds.  And according to my OB at my appointment this morning, he's not measuring big - YAY!  (And yes, I specifically asked this...)

Maternity clothes? As if there is anything else.  I am sporting a new pair of black maternity pants that are so comfortable that I might just wear them every day until Lukas arrives.  And maybe everyday thereafter.

Weight - Loss or Gain? Gain.  The scale at the OB's office confirmed it.  The doc says I'm gaining the perfect amount of weight.  She must not subscribe to the recommended 25-35 pound rule.  Apparently, I don't either.

Stretch marks? None on the belly!  A few on the rump...this was a disheartening find this weekend.  Followed by tears.  I blame the hormones.

Sleep? Decent except for the 1-3 trips to the bathroom per night.

Any movement? All the time.  And I was convinced he was breech since I've felt most of the movements in my lower belly, but the doctor told me this morning that he's head down - yay!!!  He still has enough room in there to flip for another two weeks or so, but I'm keeping up with my daily hypnobirthing affirmation that "My baby is moving into the perfect birthing position."  Say it with me now folks!

Food Cravings? I had craved salmon the other night, but other than that nothing specific.  Just hungry in general.

Food Aversions? I love all food.  (See weight gain or loss question above...)

Gender? Still planning for a little baby boy - lets hope that ultrasound tech was right all those weeks ago!

Belly Button in or out? Still in.  Though I'd give it another week or two and I have a feeling we'll be flat.

What do you miss? Martinis.  I might start drinking olive juice in a martini glass.  Don't judge.

What are you looking forward to? A week at the beach next week with my parents!  Wish Mr. Cob could join us, but he has to work.  I cannot wait to float in the pool and the ocean and eat seafood and just lounge!

What was the BEST part of this week? Celebrating my 2 year anniversary with Mr. Cob.  And painting the nursery!!!

What was the WORST part of this week? Shopping for maternity clothes.  There simply is not a pair of maternity jeans out there that fit me and look semi-decent.  So I'm waving my white flag and giving up the search.

Weekly Wisdom? Do not buy too many maternity clothes in your early pregnancy.  They'll stop fitting sometime before you're due and you'll then have to go buy more clothes. 

Milestones: Lukas is due in LESS than TWO MONTHS!!!
