32 Weeks

Gosh do I feel big!!  So I had my last appointment on Monday and everything went well.  Blood pressure was good, Brandon's heart rate was strong and steady.  I mentioned to the my Dr that he was breech and she said that it's nothing to worry about right now, especially since he's still so little and has plenty of room to move around.  She said that she will check again at my 36th week appointment to see if he has turned...and if he hasn't then they will do an external cephalic version aka try to turn him manually.  If you have never seen this done, I suggest you check out this video!

NUTS right?!?  It doesn't look like it hurts too bad, but I would like to pass on that if possible.  Right now it seems like Brandon has been moving like crazy!  His favorite spot right now is head right up against the left side of my belly button and he loves to kick my pelvis...sometimes he kicks so hard that a little pee-pee comes out (totally gross, but it is what it is).

My total weight gain so far is 20lbs and I guess that he is gonna start gaining about a 1/2 a pound per week.  Oh lord, I seriously don't know how I'm going to manage lugging around another 5-10 pounds. I can almost say that I'm almost ready for the end to come!

It's beginning to get harder to bend over, put my socks on, sit for too long, and put my undies on (which I found were inside out the other day).  Parts of my body are beginning to jiggle more than I would like and I think that I might have spotted a set of stretch marks!!!  Oh, Brandon, if it really is stretch marks I swear to GOD, you will not only be grounded, but you know your favorite pirouette french vanilla wafers that you love so much? You can kiss those babies GOODBYE!!

Work is slowly starting to wear on me these days, sometimes after being on my feet for 11 hours non-stop makes me want to just go home and cry!  I also have my photography that has been staying steady! Now is the busy season especially with the holidays just around the corner. Everyone wants to start doing their holiday photos.  I feel so blessed to still have the energy to work, but sometimes I wonder if I'm over working myself too much... I know that I should probably take it easy, but my mentality right now is if I work my ass off until the end of my pregnancy, then the longer time I have to spend with Brandon when I go on my maternity leave.  2 months is my goal, but 3 would be even sweeter :)

Brandon so far:

Weight: Almost 5lb

Length: 16.7 inches about the size of a large jicama

According to the babycenter he now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair.
