32 WEEK BABY BELLY

32 weeks down and mama and baby are doing exceptionally well. I am measuring at 29cm (a little on the small side but healthy) and have gained 17 pounds. Around 30 weeks I was feeling sick and not reacting well to food but as always (thankfully) it passed and I am feeling great! The baby belly is definitely growing at a faster rate now. Seems like there was little change outwardly and then around week 26 she appeared for the world to see!

For the past week baby zucchini has become so incredibly active! At first it was just a little fluttering and rolling around as though she was a free girl swimming in a massive swimming pool of water. Now that she is much larger and her space is tighter she is pushing out and I think often what I am feeling pushing out is an arm or leg or butt, as though her swimming pool has now become a small bathtub giving just enough to lay down but now move. Her movements are so strong that I catch my belly moving out of the corner of my eye and am in aw as I think about her and how soon she will be here. Good sign that she is growing and getting stronger.

Since the cooler weather has started to set in and all my maternity clothes are suitable for warmer weather that means one thing...shopping! I tried to fit in my non-maternity clothes and ya right there is no way I could sit all day in pants without elastic bands. Damien and I went shopping for cooler weather clothes. Hard to purchase clothes since I am already at the start of the 8th month but I do need pants. Damien and I went to Ross and I got 2 pairs of dressy black work pants and a pair of sexy dark blue jeans (that Damien says I am not allowed to wear out of the house...lol he is so cute!). We went to Ross since they have very cute clothes and at a great price! I am so excited to have clothes that fit well and look cute.
