I realized I haven't done any posts about this pregnancy since 20 weeks, so for the sake of updating anyone who cares and to document a little bit about this pregnancy here is a quick 32 week pregnancy post. It is hard to believe that we have already reached the 32 week mark. I'm grateful to have had a very smooth pregnancy so far. I got to have another ultrasound a month ago at 28 weeks to check the position of my placenta (it was covering my cervix at 20 weeks). The placenta had moved, everything looked great, and as a bonus we got to see more of this handsome little guy.
Baby boy at 28 weeks
However, the adjective little was never used to describe him. His measurements showed him to be 29 weeks 5 days rather than the 28 weeks I actually was. This was a big difference from my 20 week ultrasound where he was measuring right on. They don't consider the dates very accurate at this point because babies vary in size further along in the pregnancy so they aren't changing my due date or anything, they just said he is a really big boy. He was over 3 lbs at that time (a month ago), which put him in the 85% for a baby of his gestational age. To hopefully avoid having too huge of a baby we decided to set an induction date for 39 weeks. So January 3rd will be the day unless he decides to come any earlier on his own. So only 7 weeks to go. While I don't feel ready to have this baby yet, my body has started screaming to be done with this pregnancy. The last 2 weeks I have been very uncomfortable. My back aches non-stop (thank you to all my 400 lb patients at work), I rarely get an hour of peace, day or night, without little boy beating my insides to a pulp, I get charlie horses in my legs at night that make my calves sore for days, and I have been getting migraines more and more frequently. Wow, was that enough complaining? Sorry. As far as names, we are stuck and don't really have any serious options at this point, but we're working on it. If you were hoping for a belly shot, sorry, I avoid being in front of a camera at all costs. But don't worry my belly is growing at a steady rate. Mason refers to the bump as my big bubble and Brynn gets frustrated when she tries to snuggle on my lap stating, "it's too big!" as she pushes on my belly. We are so grateful all is well and we are excited to meet our baby brother.
