30 and 32 weeks

It has obviously been a pretty busy month! It takes so much energy to change pants though, so it looks like from here on out, just the shirt will be the same in each picture :p 



How far along: 32 weeks
How big is baby: The size of a jicama. I have no idea what that is lol. But almost 4 pounds and about 15 inches.  
Total weight gain: Well it's been a month...and it's Christmas season...AND...Our neighbors do a baked goods exchange for everyone in the court.  So probably about 25 by now lol.
Maternity clothes: I got some for Christmas! Shirts that will cover my belly :p
Stretch marks: Not yet. 
Sleep: It's tough, and will only get harder.  I've enjoyed a couple naps this weekend. But congestion has made me snore so my poor husband hasn't slept well either :p
Best moment of the week: I've been working on a little side job that has been a lot of fun :)
Food aversions: Nope
Food cravings: Nothing 
Symptoms: I can't move lol. Well I can. But I feel like I'm dragging a truck around with me every time I want to switch positions.
Movement: I tried explaining this to Ryan today. It feels like he went straight from cute little forward rolls to doing front flips on a trampoline. Straight into my ribs.
Belly Button in or out: It's out on top like it was with Malachi, and if I lay down on my back it's out a little on bottom too.  
What I’m looking forward to: Picking a name already, my goodness. 
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy :) 
What I miss: Being able to play with Malachi without getting too tired.

28 weeks



How far along: 28 weeks...wow!
How big is baby: The size of an eggplant. I told Ryan that tonight and his response was, "Whoa that's huge!!" Yea babe, I know :p
Total weight gain: We'll stick with 20 lbs because I don't know the truth. 
Maternity clothes: Nope
Stretch marks: Nope...and judging by these comparisons, I don't think any will show up on my "upper thighs" after baby is born either :p
Sleep: I'm basically nocturnal.  Having a week of working at home instead of at the studio didn't help my sleep schedule at all. But hey...work has to get done!
Best moment of the week: Mashed potatoes, definitely.
Food aversions: Nope
Food cravings: It was cinnamon rolls one day. Luckily I have a great husband who went to get them!
Symptoms: Today was busy so my belly felt heavier than normal.  Other than that, I've been feeling pretty good.
Movement: I've been feeling his hiccups lately.  Malachi's were much bigger and much more uncomfortable.  
Belly Button in or out: In for now.  I don't think it will ever pop out completely but who knows!
What I’m looking forward to: Still looking forward to him being big enough to come out, because Malachi keeps asking when he will be here. 
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy :) 
What I miss: Being able to use my abs without them cramping up lol
