Happy St. Patrick's Day!

32 week update....

What's going on with baby this week:  Baby should weigh around 4 pounds and be 18-19 inches long.  I hope to get actual measurements at this week's ultrasound.  Baby continues to plump up and will likely gain more than half of his/her birth weight in the seven weeks before birth.  A lot of "practice" should be going on in there, with practice breathing, sucking and eye opening.

How do I feel:  Great!  And amazed and thankful to be 32 weeks!  I read that back pain peaks around now but I've had none.  Truly I have very few complaints.  No swelling, no major discomforts.  I still try to walk at least 3-4 days/week.  I am more tired now than I was in the second trimester.  The one annoyance might be that I get up 2-3 times/night to use the bathroom, but that's not much different from my norm.  The wrist splints at night have helped the carpal tunnel symptoms.

What I'm looking forward to:  Ultrasound Tuesday with measurements hopefully.
