32 Weeks

I've finished work!  Phew!  The last couple of weeks have actually been quite hard physically.  A busy morning on my feet on Monday and I intended to do some Christmas shopping afterwards but could barely drag myself to the car and once home couldn't get off the couch.

Really beginning to feel the last few weeks are going to be HARD!  I'm already not sleeping well, cannot get comfortable at all and even rolling over is extremely difficult.  This little critter in my belly is certainly making life interesting!  Just as well I love him to pieces, even if he does squish my bladder and poke me in weird places!

May have mentioned last week i've been getting short of breath.  Yesterday I was in a shop at the mall and felt like I couldn't get any air and I wasn't even moving!  Luckily that passed and I didn't end up on the floor :)

Feeling huge today but it's also hot and sticky...32 degrees outside so I've got the door closed and am sitting under the aircon mmmm.

I think the Braxton Hicks contractions might changing/getting more intense.  Previously they've been non-painful and my belly hardened quite noticeably, mostly when racing around at work or lifting stuff.  I haven't had this happen for two-three weeks now but a couple of nights ago woke up with a strong pain under my belly and up the right hand side, it went away and returned three more times in the next hour.  Silly me thought I might have been going into labour or something but after I got up, emptied my bladder and went back to bed lying on my other side it stopped and hasn't returned.  So not sure what that was about but could have been Braxton Hicks I guess, will ask the midwife on Tuesday.

Still keeping healthy.  Have had a few pangs of nausea but think that might be due to needing food.  My back has been a bit sore again but again comes right with rest so hopefully it will be ok now that I can get as much of that as I want!

Baby is still squirming heaps, lots of stretching and has been pummeling me quite low down so think he's still head down.  He's been kinder to my ribs this week :)  About 4.5lbs and 19 inches long.  2.04kg and 48cm.  Starting to get stretch marks over my hips/waist area, but none on the bump so far.
