Expecting Baby 3 - Bump Update for Week 32

I can’t believe we are 2 months out! I’m hoping to go a full 40 weeks this time.

When I was last pregnant with my twins I had them exactly at 36 weeks. At week 32 I started having high blood pressure issues and that is ultimately why my team of doctors decided it would be best to deliver at 36 weeks. We were fortunate that the twins were at a good size by that point and were healthy.

Week 32 –

Baby is a size of a – squash

Names picked out – Nope. We have some boy options but need to decide which is the one. Girl names are more of a struggle to agree on. It was easier to pick two last time. I thought I picked what would be THE one here, but Danny isn’t on board for it. So, we are still at the drawing board there.

Feeling – pregnant & slow. I’ve been wearing my support band more and it’s been helping with the weight and pressure of my bump. I also started wearing my compression (calf) socks a bit this past week too and was happy with how those worked. I have been elevating my feet a little for comfort, but I’m not actually swelling yet.

Best Moment – I had a growth scan at 31 weeks and baby is growing at a perfect rate. In the 76th percentile, so not too big, but nice and healthy. At that scan the baby was 4lbs, 4 oz and had a heart rate of 130 BPM.

Cravings – mini powdered donuts & yogurt bowls – I’ve been mixing powdered peanut butter + protein powder into my plain greek yogurt, then topping with granola and berries. So good! Then I am still loving hard boiled eggs, avocado toast, nutty bars & Squirt soda.

Aversions – nothing really.

Movement – yes, still feeling lots of kicking and rolling around in there. Getting some pressure on my ribs on the right side at the end of the day, which is making sleep more uncomfortable. At the scan it was baby’s feet up in my ribs.

Prep Done – Well, we have the room addition finished. Now, we just need to transition the girls into it and free up the nursery for the baby. Other than that……. not much. We still need to source a new vehicle for me, pull out all the baby items and wash + prep them. So, we have a lot to do, but I feel like it will all be fine. I plan to refresh the nursery a bit (likely after baby is here) & this is my inspo for that.
