"Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.?
How far along?: 32 weeks already! Time is flying and have about a month and half to go. Ahh!
Maternity clothes?: Are a girls best friend! I'm loving leggins and sweaters a lot now that the weather is colder.
Movement: Has gone from slight kicks and punches to rolls, shifting and stretching. He's running out of room to float around so I feel every little thing anymore.
Stretch marks?: Started to get a few on my sides and my I can see a faint linea nigra forming on my belly.
Sleep?: Is my friend. I've been so overwhelmed with everything going on the past three weeks that I feel like I can't catch up. And I've lost my ability to sleep in too. Even the days I can sleep in, I'm up at 930 weather I want to be or not.
Symptoms?: Heartburn is a bi*ch and even something as simple as a bowl of cereal has me nauseous.
Food cravings: Anything that won't give me terrible heartburn. Lol
What I miss: Good sleep and free reign to eat what I want.
What I'm looking forward to: Maternity pictures and meeting Eli!!
Milestone: Having my showers and seeing Eli healthy!

Well, where do I begin? We got the house, moved in and this past weekend I hosted my baby showers at my new home. Can you say chaos? I was so overwhelmed that everything got put on the back burner, but I'm FINALLY all caught up. Since my last post I've had another MFM appointment and Eli is looking good! His kidneys have improved since my last appointment and at 30w2d, we weighed in at 3lbs, 2oz. He mentioned that he was a little on the small side but I'm not too concerned since Geo and I aren't big people anyway. His kicking and moving has become so much more forceful and since he's running out of "floating" room I can feel him so much more. Our baby showers this past weekend were amazing and the support and love we got from everyone is amazing! I can't wait for Eli to meet all the amazing people George and I have in our lives. His nursery is coming along great and I finally decided on his coming home outfit. Just a few essentials to get and we'll be as ready as we can be. Only about a month and a half to go!
