32 Weeks and Doctor's Appointment!!!

Here we are another week closer to meeting our baby girl!! Where in the world is time going??  It is so hard to believe that we will be meeting our baby girl in about 6 weeks!!!  It seems unbelievable! We are all so excited to meet Miss Olivia Kate!! She is so loved already!

Her room is complete and all her clothes are washed and put away.  I still have to sanitize and wash all the bottles, pacis, etc and Nick needs to put a couple more things together and get her new car seat in the car and I think we will be good to go!! So exciting!!

I am still feeling really good. Still having the regular aches and pains and some stronger Braxton Hicks but I am hanging in there! So far I have yet to receive any of those lovely stretch marks!!  I never received any with Brayden so I hope that I can manage to get through this pregnancy without any. :)

We had a doctors appointment on Wednesday with an ultrasound.  We were so excited to see our baby girl again!! However we were somewhat disappointment that we did not get really good pictures of her this time around.  Poor thing had her little face smashed right up against the placenta.  The tech was laughing at her because she would not move and her poor little nose looked smashed!  LOL.  Oh well, at least we know she is healthy and that is all that matters!  She now weighs 4 pounds and 1 ounce which is a little smaller than what her big brother weighed at this time of pregnancy.  Her heart rate was great, 142 bpm! The tech got all the measurements she needed and everything looked great!  She is in the head down position which probably explains why I feel her little feet pushing in my ribs all the time and let me tell you that can get pretty painful!

After our ultrasound we seen the doctor.  My blood pressure was great, 110/63 and I am actually measuring 30 weeks even though I am almost 33 weeks.  The doctor was not concerned at all.  We go back to see her in two weeks!

Even though these are not great pictures I wanted to go ahead and share just a couple of her ultrasound pictures.




I read that this week she is busy blinking, looking around, grabbing at things, making faces, practicing her breathing and listening to everything around her.  She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair. Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.  I cannot wait to see what she looks like!!

Pregnancy Highlights
How far along? 32 weeks, 6 days

Size of Baby?  Olivia now weighs 4 pounds and 1 ounce! She is growing more and more each week. 

Weight Gain/Loss?    I currently weigh 144.  I have gained 29 pounds which seems like alot but I started out right at 115 so think that I could stand to put on a pound or two, especially for this sweet little girl!
Maternity Clothes?  Yes besides some shirts and PJ's

Best Moment this week?  Seeing our baby girl again!!  We cannot wait to meet her!!
Gender? IT'S A GIRL! Olivia Kate!

Movement?   She is still moving like crazy!! I thought around this time she would start to run out of room but she is still kicking up a storm!  I love to just sit back and watch my whole belly move!!  She loves to put her little feet in my ribs and that is pretty uncomfortable but I do love to see that tiny little foot move across my belly!! It is so amazing to watch!!

Food Craving? No real cravings here lately. 

What I miss? Nothing much at this time.  I am just ready for our baby girl to be here.  I love being pregnant but I am also ready to feel like myself again. 

Sleep?  I am still sleeping pretty good however, I have noticed that I have started waking up throughout the night and it takes me forever to get back to sleep. 

Symptoms?  Heartburn, Braxton Hicks, aches and pains, some nausea, some slight swelling in my feet and hands, exhaustion, etc! :)

Here are my 32 week photos!



Hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy this beautiful weather!!
