Liam ~ 32 Week Doctor Appointment & Belly Pictures

~ Doctor Appointment at 31 Weeks ~

I had my 31 week doctor appointment on July 7th.  I'm still measuring 2 weeks big, but they are not worried since I'm having a c-section.  I met with the head doctor at the practice and she said I could do the c-section as early as August 31st.  She said if I do it on Aug 31st I will have the option to put him in kindergarten at age 5 (he would be the youngest in his class) or age 6 (he would be the oldest).  She recommended that I do it on Aug 31st so she put me on the list for that date.  I will hopefully know at my next doctor appointment on July 27th if my c-section will be Aug 31st or Sept 1st.  I'm still #2 on the waitlist for Sept 1.  The heart rate was normal at around 120-130.

Major kicks...

Baby Liam is very active and loves to do crazy kicks.  Sometimes I feel like he's doing a kickboxing class in there.  He is also getting the hiccups a lot.  I love feeling him move around.  Sometimes I can feel body parts popping out that I think might be his foot or leg.  Craig can't get over it either.  It's so amazing to feel from the inside and outside.  I don't remember Grayson kicking so much, but I'm sure he did and I just don't remember.

Cravings...  

My major cravings right now are key lime pie yogurt flipems (they have a white chocolate and graham cracker crumble that you dump into the key lime pie yogurt), cherries, chocolate and caramel.  

Weight Gain...

I have gained 22 pounds so far.  Babycenter says I will gain about a pound a week from now until the baby is born and half of that goes directly to the baby.  They also say he will gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks.  Amazing!

How I'm Feeling...

I'm exhausted!  ha ha.  I am normally rarely relax because I always have a million things to do, but I have definitely slowed down.  As soon as I put Grayson to bed I'm ready for bed, but I normally prop my feet up and relax for a little bit.  People tell me I look like I could have this baby any day, which is not what you want to hear when you have 7 weeks left.  Hopefully these next 7 weeks will go by quickly.  I'm so beyond excited for baby Liam's arrival and can't wait to meet our sweet little boy.  His room is all ready, but I'm still working on Grayson's new room.  I bought some new pacifiers and size 1 bottle nipples and I will need to get a few little things before he comes.  I also bought some cute outfits as I mostly used onesies with Grayson.  I even bought Grayson and Liam some matching outfits.

Here is what BabyCenter says about 32 weeks...

By now, your baby weighs 3 3/4 pounds (about the size of a large jicama) and is about 16.7 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, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
