32 weeks!!

No belly pic this week, I'm feeling very... blah in front of the camera.  Sorry, no better word to describe it.  But here's baby:

Can't believe I haven't done an update in a few weeks!!!  It has been a crazy couple of weeks, to say the least, but things are finally starting to calm down, so this is like 3 days late, but oh well.
How I'm feeling: Well, pregnancy-wise, I'm feeling pretty good still.  No major aches and pains, a little heartburn but not too bad, and no carpal tunnel or swelling!  BUT, I am still recovering from being sick, and I have the worst allergies now that we're back in NZ and I can't really take any medicine, so I've been feeling pretty miserable in that respect.  But that's not related to being pregnant (aside from the inability to take meds).  Most days, to be honest, I'm so busy I forget I'm even pregnant (aside from the large belly and frequent baby kicks/rolls).  I just want to be able to not sneeze 1000 times a day and be able to see without my eyes constantly itching and burning!!!

Weight gain this week: no idea, haven't really been doing weekly weigh-ins lately!
Total weight gain: 23 pounds.  At this stage in my pregnancy with Riley I had only gained about 18 pounds!  And let me tell you, I'm feeling very large.

Cravings: Smoothies, apples, apricots.
Aversions: none really.

What baby is up to:  weighing in at about 3.75 pounds, and around 16-17" long, he's getting big!  Moving all the time with some serious kicks.  I forgot to mention I started feeling hiccups a few weeks ago, and now I feel them usually once a day, or at least every other day.  Baby is now gaining about half a pound a week, and will likely double his weight in the next 8-ish weeks!  It's crazy to think that Riley was born at 37 weeks, and that's less than 5 weeks away!!

Best part of the week: Seeing Riley interact with a newborn baby for the first time ever.  She was so fascinated by him, I think she's going to be an awesome big sister to her little brother. Not to say there won't be quite a few challenges, but I'm excited for her.
Worst part of the week: Allergies!!!  Making me so miserable!

About 2 weeks ago we had a 3d ultrasound, and it was definitely fun to see baby in 3d, he spent a good portion of the time trying to suck on his fingers and his toes.  Yup, both his feet were right up by his face, and we watched him sucking on his big toe!  We saw some yawns, what looked like a smile, and a lot of puckering of his lips.  He looked rather chubby, and we are thinking he's pretty darn bald.  At this ultrasound he was head down, with his head a little more on my left side, and his butt up by my right side ribs.  We brought Riley with us to the ultrasound, and at first she seemed scared and cried and wanted to be by my side, but then she calmed down and played with crayons the rest of the time, totally uninterested in what was up on the screen.

Okay, maybe there will be a belly picture next week... we'll see.  I'm thinking of trying to do some maternity photos sometime next week (you know, photos other than my self portraits in the bathroom), but we'll see how that works out. :)
