32 Weeks

The baby now weighs about 3.75 pounds and is about 17 inches from head to toe. Although the lungs won't be fully developed until just before birth, our little one is inhaling amniotic fluid to excercise it's lungs, and practice breathing. At this point, some babies havea head of hair already, others have only a few wisps. Thick hair at birth doesn't necessarily mean thick hair later in life.

If it's a boy, his testicles should be descending from his abdomen to his scrotum. Sometimes however, one or both testicles won't move into position until after birth. Two thirds of all baby boys with undescended testicles at birth find the condition has self corrected by their first birthday.

I've got my OB appt today - everything is fine, we've just moved into the every 2 weeks stage. My next appointment will likely be March 10, then the 24th... then once a week after that!

I find I'm having a harder time sleeping than ever! I'm waking up over and over, and I'm unable to get comfortable again to fall back asleep - so I watch the clock tick by until it's a reasonable time to get up. I find that using the belly wedge helped last night, maybe it's just my heavy belly that hurts a bit, and thats keeping me up...

Rob's been feeling the baby move a lot more now - he claims the baby's getting stronger, I'm telling him it's more about bigger! There's not a whole lot of room left in there! I won't lie, I'm getting to the point I never thought I'd get to... I'm ready to get the baby out, now. I always thought I'd be that rare person that loved being pregnant so much, that it wouldn't matter how long I was pregnant. I was wrong! I love being pregnant, but I'm totally ready - so, baby, if you can read my mind... I'm hoping you're not thinking about going late!!!
