32 Weeks Pregnant

Sorry for the face I'm making; it was bright outside! My profile at 32 weeks (photo by Craig).

Baby Girl & I have been having quite the week! For three or four days I have been contemplating stopping in to the doctor because she was not moving as much or as intensely as before. Today she was finally back to kicking and rolling around with intensity. However, while waiting to get on the bus for the mosque tour this morning I really felt as though I was going to pass out. I went into the club house and lay on my left side for a few minutes and it passed. However, after a few minutes on the bus, I felt like I was going to throw up! So, I went to the back of the bus and laid on my side for the rest of the ride to the mosque. Luckily we were able to sit down at the mosque and after about 30 minutes of sitting there I felt pretty normal. Once home I had a decent lunch and took a good nap and felt nothing strange at all. Since she's still kicking up a storm and I feel fine again, I am not going to stop in to the doctor but will mention it all when I go in for my next appointment.

In other news:

• The faucet on the kitchen sink is getting shorter: I have to stand sideways to do any hand-washing of dishes now.
• My belly button gets a little irritated if I my pants don't have a full belly-panel.
• I'm having a harder time bending over and getting up off of the couch or floor.
• Anna is learning to walk through the parking lot now (holding my hand, of course!) instead of me carrying her through as I just can't carry her that far anymore.
• Anna picked out an elephant from H&M to give to Baby Sister when she gets here. Baby Sister is going to give Anna a six-sided puzzle that I think Anna will have fun with.
• I am starting to notice a bit of swelling in my fingers and toes at the end of the day now. (Nothing major and I probably just need to elevate my feet and drink a bit more water each day.)
