Wow, I have not been good about posting. It makes me sad, because I really want to keep a record of this time. But with working as many hours as I am, I am barely surviving at this point. I'm in the middle of 2 weeks of nights and it's pretty brutal. On top of that, we have....bought a house! It's kind of drastic, it's a legit house with a yard and stuff, in the burbs. We have rented an apartment in the city for our entire life together as a couple, so this is a big BIG change. But we are ready. We've been ready for years, really. We want the family and house in the suburbs, where our kid can grow up and ride his bike around the driveway and neighborhood. It's going to be kind of crazy since we will be moving in late April, but we are so, so excited. Work + pregnancy + house stuff is really stressful, but it's all wonderful things, and we feel so lucky that everything is coming together.
32 weeks:
How far along? 32w today (it's after midnight! #nightshift)
Weight gain? 18-20 lbs
Maternity Clothes? Don't fit into my jackets anymore (thanks Mr. E for letting me borrow yours!) and I've had to size up in my scrub tops around 27w, and pants last week. The normal size pants still fit, but when I put my pagers on the waistband, the drawstring isn't long enough to reliably stay tied to keep my pants up. And we don't want any mishaps.
Who have you told? No one new. We have told everyone we plan on telling until the baby is born.
Any movement? Getting stronger every day. Still amazing. My whole belly moves sometimes. I could just sit/lie and feel him move all the time.
Symptoms: I feel huge. Pretty bad back pain, and intermittent excruciating hip/pelvic pain. Also heartburn got out of control, I'm on Zantac now which is amazing. Some swelling in my feet after a long day of work. NOT that I'm complaining about anything though. Just want to document everything so I can remember everything :)
Best moment this week: We bought a house last week, that takes the cake.
Major milestones: In the past few weeks, I've made it to 3rd tri, made it past 30 weeks, passed my glucose test.
Major purchases this week: Um a house last week. We are also now looking at cribs and nursery furniture. For so long, my heart has hurt to think about the nursery I would never get to have. Now I am looking at furniture. It is deeply moving and I am so, so grateful.
Looking forward to next week: Not being on nights anymore.
