Week 32

How far along: 32 weeks. (

2-9th July 2014)

Baby bump: baby is the size of a bok Choy, weighing around 4lb

What's happening this week:

This week I had my baby shower, it was perfect. I have posted a separate blog about it.

I got to see my mum and sis for the first time since Christmas which was so nice but goes too quick. 

I went to the mothercare outlet again and got some clothes 3-6 months for autumn for baby. So cheap there I can't bare to pay full price in the normal mothercare store.

On the 7th I woke up at 5:30 with tightenings, they eased off around 7am so took the kids to school and they started as I was walking. Then again at 9:15 but I managed to fall asleep for a few hours and they didn't come again until later on and Stu insisted we went to the hospital. They put me on the heart monitor and baby was fine, my cervix wasn't dilated so we came back home. It was quite scary the thought of him coming early, guess he was just practising. 

The midwife said his head was under my left rib his bum under my right and legs below. Hope he moves soon. 

Sleep:  it has been warm again but I'm managing to sleep, I'm used to getting up for the toilet now and waking to turn over.

Best moment: my baby shower. 

Movement: lots and lots, getting a bit cringey when he moves so much I can see lumps.

Food cravings / aversions: still fresh orange.

Symptoms: heartburn when I lay in bed, tightenings. 

Emotions: I can cry and be angry very quickly, poor stu gets it all but he laughs and cuddles me. He won't even entertain argument.

What I miss: being able to clean the house without being exhausted, I had a cry pegging the washing out this week, the thought of it makes me laugh. Hormones eh!

What I'm looking forward to: relaxing this weekend with stu and the kids 

How the family is doing: kids constantly asking when the baby is coming.
