Week 32

Josh is now officially 32 week gestated...if thats even a word? A little under 8 weeks to go to my due date! Yay!

We are thankful that ~

- My pregnancy has gone as smoothly as it has up until this point. No gestational diabetes or any other complications yet!

- For the blessing of another shower here in Tulsa to help meet our new Joshie needs.

- Auntie Jen & Uncle Jas were able to feel Josh moving & grovin this past weekend!

- Uncle Jas took some super maternity photos!


Josh's Update:

By now, baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in my uterus.



I'm 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). Josh's skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth!



Mommy's update:

By now, I am getting quite large. Josh is riding pretty high ~ and likes to kick me in my ribs. He moves so much my belly looks like the ocean waves some days! I am getting more tired and more uncomfortable. I have started swelling pretty consistently ~ I think working & being on my feet more has alot to do with it. A week or two ago if you had asked me if I was ready, I would have told you no....but now I am getting closer to having that answer be a yes. The Lord is gracious to sustain me & allow me to continue to work & so for that we are grateful!

What else is new??:

Jon is going to get to try on an empathy belly this week at our parenting class! I'm quite excited about this! Jon will be able to feel fetal movement, have bladder pressure, and back pain! This video helps you see what all the empathy belly entails ~ the first part of the video is the best ~ I would just watch the first few minutes :)
