second baby bumpdate | 32 weeks

First of all, it feels so exciting to be in my 8th month of pregnancy. I definitely am physically feeling it at this point but knowing we get to meet our baby girl in just a little over a handful of weeks from now makes it totally worth it!! 

She still doesn't have a name quite yet which I've been surprised we haven't felt concerned about because Nic and I are such planners at heart. Also considering we had Liam's name picked out shortly after our 20 week ultrasound with him and it just fit right away and felt right from that moment on. We have narrowed it down to a couple of favorites and plan on deciding at the hospital after we meet her for the first time!

You get to see a little peek into her nursery in this picture. It is getting so close to being done, I can't wait to share soon!

How Far Along ...

32 weeks

Gender ...

GIRL! 

Maternity Clothes ...

Definitely! Although I won't lie, I spend most of my time in my Dwell + Slumber nightgown or my robe that barely ties shut at this point whenever I am home. ;)

Belly Button & Wedding Ring ...

Belly button barely in, ring barely on. haha 

Sleep ...

Pregnancy insomnia has hit in full force and sleep is really hard to come by these days. I feel discomfort in just about every position I try and have a hard time with acid reflux or breathing while lying down. It makes for some long nights and even longer days entertaining a two year old.

Best Moment(s) this Week ...

Getting a surprise opportunity to see baby girl on an ultrasound! I've been measuring big throughout this pregnancy and my OB just wanted to check and make sure everything was okay. Baby girl only measured 2 days ahead of our scheduled due date and the amniotic fluid levels were normal so we feel blessed she is healthy and growing away in there! My second best moment was getting her going home from the hospital outfit in the mail this week. It was such a fun and special thing for me to pick out for her and I can't wait for her to wear it!

Miss Anything ...

I miss having energy and being able to sleep! If I exercise in the morning it completely zaps the rest of my energy for the day and I usually have to take a nap when Liam does to keep up. Even on the days that I just got for a walk in the evenings, by the end of the day I definitely physically feel it. 

Movement ...

She loves to move any time I'm still (sitting or laying down) which is my favorite because I can actually enjoy it during those times. She never kicks hard enough to wake me up or anything. At our ultrasound, the tech said she was head down and facing up which would explain the constant little feet I've been feeling shoved under my rib cage though! haha ;)

Cravings ...

I'm loving grapes lately! 

Feelings & Emotions ...

Physically it has been a rough couple weeks for me which of course takes a toll emotionally too. I had the flu two weeks ago and then followed it up with an unexpected tooth implant last week. I also decided during all of that chaos to potty train Liam so poor Nic has come home to tears a few of those days. haha I'm thankful that the flu only lasted about 48 hours. Now I'm just hopeful that the tooth pain will go away soon too! 

Looking Forward to ... 

My mom coming to town tomorrow and throwing me a baby shower on Saturday! I'm excited to see friends and family and celebrate this sweet baby girl!!!
