32 weeks with baby #4!

The weeks are just flying by! Eight more weeks until the due date, so about 9 weeks until we meet this little boy!!!

I also can NOT believe we did Disney World when I was 32 weeks with Mae. Phew! Ha!

Pregnancy Highlights:

• How far along: 32 weeks on 3/11/15
• Size of the baby: I'll have an u/s at my next appt (36 weeks since the Dr will be out of town at the 35 week mark). Average baby size at 32 weeks is just under 4 lbs. 
• Total weight gain: Thanks to that awful stomach virus, I dropped 4 lbs since the last appt instead of gaining the expected 4 lb, so I'm at +24 lbs. Arabelle and I celebrated a good appointment with donuts and cupcakes. Haha!
• Gender: BOY!
• Movement: He seems to move all the time! Bo pulled up a chair the other day to sit and 'watch the baby move'. :)
• Sleep: Still sleeping pretty well and enjoying the ability to sleep ALL NIGHT LONG without interruption. 
• Cravings: Nothing really....trying to recover from that stomach virus still. I pretty much like everything except grilled meat/beef. 
• Symptoms: I'm still not having ANY back pain or sciatica! I can't believe it! I'll start going to the chiropractor around 34 weeks anyway to make sure things stay aligned. Just feeling BIG and tired. My hemoglobin is actually a little low (they checked it at my appt. on Wed.), so I need to start some iron supplements. 
• Best Moment of the Week: Bo has really been interested in seeing/feeling the baby move and talking to the baby. He's excited!
• What's next: There's usually a 35 week appt, but Dr G will be out of town, so I get an extra week off. At the 36 week appt, he will do an u/s to measure our fella and then I'll start weekly appointments after that. 

Arabelle took my picture while we were playing outside the other day.....32 weeks! 

32 week update

Just 8 more weeks to go!

• How far along: 32 weeks 4 days
• Size of baby: The baby's weight was an estimated 4lb 8oz on u/s today! That's the 47th percentile, so he/she is hanging in there size wise, considering the single umbilical artery issue. 
• Latest Dr. Appt: I had a non-stress test (NST) today, which is basically sitting in a cozy recliner with the heart rate monitor on the baby. It should show a variation in the baby's heart rate, which occurs when the baby moves, etc. The baby was really active at that time and the heart rate looked great! 
• Total weight gain: 24 lbs so far....just a pound away from my max weight with Arabelle and Bo...ouch!
• Gender: still a surprise! I make sure to remind Dr. G before each u/s that it's a surprise. 
• Movement: TONS of movement! It's starting to get painful at times, especially in the evenings and at night. Sometimes it feels like a foot or knee is coming out the right side...so weird!
• Sleep: Still sleeping well. Waking once to go to the bathroom. I have to turn a lot to get comfortable after that, but I know it'll get worse!
• Cravings: Nothing really...I'm liking salads a lot lately, probably to make up for the aversions to vegetables early on. 
• Symptoms: I've been going to the chiropractor every few weeks, which has helped a lot. I'll have a bit of sciatica every now and then, but not much pain at all! 
• What's next: NST every week and the next u/s at 35 weeks

32 weeks at Disney World this week!
