Week 32!

Look at that belly!

Week 32: Aug. 31, 2012
154 lbs, Bust 36 ½, Waist 41 ½, Hips 41 ½

Wow! I can definitely tell I’m in my third trimester – my belly is continuously getting more in the way every day. It’s amazing what a difference an inch can make. My hips are starting to hurt a lot, lower back and lower abdomen pain. It is hard to ignore at times. I never knew what people were complaining about at the third trimester, because I had Annika at 32 weeks and she was 3 pounds! The baby is already approximately 4 pounds, in addition to this being a second pregnancy and of course I am older! All these things are contributing to my discomfort, I am sure. But I am very grateful for each day I get to carry this precious child! And I am blessed to be called his (or her) mother. We still have a lot to do. I am stressed and overwhelmed, but doing my best to rest, eat well, exercise and get enough sleep. It will all pay off in the end. My favorite part is feeling a little elbow or foot now and then – so tiny and cute!
