Week 32 Update

Alright, I am all caught up now....mostly haha Today I am 32 weeks and I have less than two months until my due date....AHHHH!!! I am so excited and anxious, but still feeling like I could wait, if that makes any sense lol

So no bump picture for right now I have been super sick for the last two day that included a trip to Labor and Delivery for fluids (so much fun...not)  and therefore no picture yet, but I will get one up soon!


So here's what happened leading up to the hospital trip in case you just read that and freaked out. I woke up Tuesday morning not feeling so great and feeling pretty nauseous by the time I got out of the shower, but I honestly thought I was just nervous for our check-up on baby girl's kidneys (why I didn't think about Jessica being sick the day before when I was home, don't ask me. She basically went through the same thing I did, but had a baby to take care of). So the first time I got sick was around 7:30 and I didn't think of it again. We had our ultrasound at 8am and baby is perfect, but I didn't feel any better. At around 8:50 before my doctor's appointment I got massively sick in the doctor's bathroom...lovely and the nurse could hear me. She felt bad for me and I felt bad that that was how she got to start her day. I had my appointment, talked about the sick thing with my doctor and she told me take it easy and to stay hydrated. They gave me a super cool barf bag for the road and I was on my way. An hour from the last time I was sick, I threw up again. That barf bag came in handy. From that point on I was puking every 30-45 minutes. Robbie basically carried me upstairs and put me into bed and had to go to school. He ended up skipping work because he was really worried about me. I was worried too. This had literally been going on for 8 hours. I would sleep, wake up, puke, recover, go back to sleep. This was happening every 30 minutes and forget about water, that only made it worse. So right about 4 I took a zofran hoping that would help with the nausea and it did a little, but I called my doctor anyway. The nurse said if I hadn't gone to the bathroom in 8 hours or more I should go to labor and delivery for fluids. So we waited a little because I hadn't been sick in about an hour and I thought I was getting better. So I started drinking more water and then I got sick again, so we decided it was time to go around 6:30. We got there and everyone was really nice. I had to answer a billion questions and then they gave me the good stuff haha it was really just fluids and a nausea medicine that put me to sleep. We got home around 10 and I passed out...Sort of. I woke up a lot because I was thirsty. The next day I felt a lot better, but I was really sore from throwing up and not totally hydrated again. My urine was really dark, but I was going the bathroom and that was good. Luckily, our baby girl handled everything really well and was a trooper, according the the nurse at the hospital. Today, I feel much more like myself and I think I'm mostly recovered, thank goodness! That was my adventure this week! Sorry for the long story!

But I do have a baby picture!



It's kinda hard to tell, but this is a profile picture of our baby girl! She is getting quite large (look at her fill up that whole sonogram picture) Robbie had a hard time seeing her in this picture so don't feel bad if do too. I wasn't well hydrated. I had already started throwing up. 

How far along: 32 weeks
Total weight gain: 28 lbs as of 3/11/14 however I suspect I have lost weight since then due to the excessive puking thing.
Stretch marks? I found some :( they aren't too bad, but i'm trying hard to keep more from popping up.
SleepNot all that fun to be honest lol I wake up a lot to change positions or dying of thirst or to go the bathroom.  
Best moment this week: Definitely either my baby shower or seeing my baby girl! We had a pretty late ultrasound due to some swollen kidneys at my last ultrasound, so they needed to be re-checked. In the words of the ultrasound tech "Your baby is perfect, she needs those lungs to develop a little ore and then she is ready for this world!" And yes she is still a girl. Third ultrasound and third different tech has found her girly parts. 
Movement: Tons still! 
Anything making you sick? Too much baby kicking and not enough food, and the stomach flu lol
GenderGirl!!
Labor signs: nope
Symptomsback pain, leg cramps at night, tiny bladder. Nothing too bad
Belly button in or outStill in, but smaller everyday
Wedding rings on or off? On most of the time, My fingers are usually swollen by night and then back to normal the next morning. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Recently, Moody lol
Looking forward to:  Recovering fully from my 24-hour flu (my muscles ache from throwing up and getting fully re-hydrated) and getting all my shower gifts to my home in Idaho! My mom and our friend Arlene helped me ship them through UPS. So excited and grateful for these ladies!!
