{32 Weeks!}

Someone at church asked what it was like to finally be in the "single digits"....Emotional! I am not sure if it just my nerves or that my hormones are super out of whack but recently I have been even more emotional. I am an emotional person, but in private for the most part. Rarely will I cry in front of anyone more then my husband. Recently, Candice has almost witnessed a near breakdown and the topic, not something I should have cried over. I had talked with my Grandma, my mom and Victor but surprisingly as soon as I told Candice I got all choked up?! And now, it's 1AM and I am putting this post up because I am too upset to go to sleep, all over a dog!
Cravings: Something I grew up having lots of during the summer was sun tea. Since about February Iced Tea has sounded so yummy. I looked and looked for decaffinated tea and never found it. Victor finally had enough of my wishing and hoping and found lipton decaffinated hot tea but once I make it I just drink it cold. I have had A LOT of it and haven't gotten over something I have never missed until pregnancy. It makes me think of the women that have told me they have craved smoking a cigarette, even though they've never smoked before...just something weird to chalk up to pregnancy!
Aversions: I was avoiding most everything because of really bad heartburn until Candice suggested that I take a zantac before eating, DUH---why didn't I think of that?!
T.M.C: By now, your baby is just shy of 4 pounds and is nearly 17 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.
