32 Weeks

The last two weeks have flown by. And as they've flown by, this belly of mine grew. And grew big time. I can't believe I have 8 more weeks to go. I'm not really sure where she has room to go from here? But alas, in the world of pregnancy, you and I both know she'll find it. And she'll take every last bit of room she can. Probably creating stretch marks as she goes. Sigh. 

32 weeks:

-On the first night of 32 weeks, I experienced my first bout of pregnancy insomnia. After teaching all day with no AC and then visiting my brother in law and his gf in their new place sans AC, I was a overheated to the core. I think that contributed to the restlessness.

-While I haven't been having insomnia every night, I'm definitely sleeping more restlessly. More trips to the bathroom, more tossing and turning.

-Cramp! My left leg has started cramping in my sleep. This is also beginning to contribute to lack of sleep, although for now I've managed to keep dreaming as I try to stretch out the cramp. It's one of those things I wake up thinking, "did my leg really cramp up for a while last night?!"

-My belly button continues to creep out. I'm still convinced it's not going to fully pop out. Wishful thinking.

-Last week, I learned the hard way that drinking water is of utmost importance. Therefore, I'm now a lean, mean, (rather, a large and in charge) peeing machine.

-I've now resorted to fumbling open the Tums bottle that resides next to my bed in the dark, desperately grabbing for relief in the middle of the night. Damn you heartburn! This, I cannot wait for to end.

-For the first time this pregnancy, I am getting full much faster. Smaller, more frequent meals are becoming a necessity. I'm kind of sad to see my now-normal truck stop sized meals coming to an end.

-Adly's body moves all around and you can see it from the outside. This is quite cool. I've tried all week to catch it on video. She is quite sneaky. It appears she lacks her mothers love for the spotlight. But I have faith I can train her in that.

If I had to wrap up 32 weeks in one word, it would be ginormous. So many of my clothes have suddenly refused to fit and with the weather getting hotter I'm getting more and more nervous for the dreaded heat of June. Fingers crossed these cold fronts keep coming through. I know, I'm selfish. But believe me, you all want to spare yourself the moaning, complaining, and swear words that are going to flow when I'm stuck in a building all day with no AC, hot, sticky, sweaty and 9 months pregnant for the entire month of June.
