Pregnancy Update: Week 32

August 6, 2014 | health, pregnancy

No lie, the weeks are running together so much now I had to check my blog before I started writing to see what week I was in! I used to think women who couldn’t remember were crazy, I mean, how can you forget something so monumental, but it happens!

So, here we are, week 32, and my baby is due NEXT MONTH! mind blowing. I still laugh at how at week 20 I thought I was “huge” heh.

32weeks bump

I went to my doctor’s appointment yesterday, (my mom came too) and we heard baby M’s heartbeat and everything is looking good and still on track. I actually lost two pounds, but the doctor didn’t seem worried.

Symptoms: Most of the same, sorry I am not very exciting. I’m very tired and have had a few days where nausea has crept back in again. Overly emotional, peeing all the time, not sleeping well. My low pelvic pain shifted for a few days from straight across my lower pelvis to just on my right side/around my hip and shooting down the top of my right thigh. Not sure if I have pinched a nerve or something but just walking is quite painful so I have been sitting a lot. I have been feeling very overwhelmed a lot lately since we move into our new house tomorrow, but hoping once we get settled I will feel better and more prepared.

Baby’s Size: Squash

Maternity clothes: Nothing new, although I will admit I now have to sleep in Bobby’s size large t-shirts as the mediums don’t cover my belly anymore! Mediums used to be my “big” sleep shirts. I have a lot of tops that still do fit, but not very many bottoms, so you will see the same things over and over. My apologies.

Stretch marks: Still doing ok!

Sleep: Still getting up to potty 2-4 times a night and randomly waking up. I try to limit my naps to earlier in the day and to 45 minutes or so, in hopes I will sleep better at night.

32weeks bump2

Miss anything: At this point I just miss being able to roll over in bed without hurting! It’s the little things.

Cravings: Sweets sweets and more sweets.

Aversions: Spices, anything with a really full flavor, too much protein.

Looking Forward to: MOVING TOMORROW! Painting the nursery this weekend (thanks dad).

What I’m loving: Knowing that this is not forever!

Workouts: Pretty non existent with my new hip pain. However I know tomorrow and the days to follow I will get plenty of workouts in unpacking boxes.

QOTD: Did you ever have pain going down the top of one of your thighs while pregnant?

This heat is killing me…who is ready for fall?

    I had some hip/ back pain and going to my chiropractor helped a ton. Your alignment is being tested, you’re growing a human! I hope you feel better and best wishes while moving! Thanks for posting in the early am for breast feeding entertainment!

    You look great! You’ll be so distracted with getting settled that time will fly!

    The heat is so tough when pregnant! Not much better while breast feeding, either. 🙂 You’re getting so close! Hope the aches/pains get better.

    I am so ready fall, but I bet you are even more so! I can’t imagine being in your 3rd trimester during the summer heat. You’re strong, girl!

    At least you will be able to settle into your new house BEFORE the baby arrives! Don’t rush to get everything unpacked and in its place, you still need your rest. And you look beautiful pregnant, enjoy the last few weeks with the baby in your belly. I loved the feeling that I was the only one connected to the baby and savored those weeks before I had to share with the world.

    You look great Heather!!! Hope the hip pain gets better. Be sure to mention it to your doctor. So exciting that she will be here next month!!!!

    Yes, I am so ready for Fall. I know this summer hasn’t been too bad but I just can’t get excited for the summer months anymore. All that fun went out the door when I no longer got a summer break.

    you are looking great!! it’s crazy to think how big the belly is and how much bigger it’s going to get, to be honest I am nervous 😉
    I am peeing more and more too! fun times. I am always have asleep when I go during the night, I am surprised I don’t fall more haha

    Congrats on the new house! You look great and hopefully getting the new house in order will be a nice distraction. Congrats! Can’t wait to see what the fall brings you 🙂

    You look great! I remember having some leg and groin pain, sometimes it was really bad (mostly the groin) but most of the time I could just manage through it

    I also remember the sleepless nights and waking up a million times to go to the bathroom 🙂 9 months later, I still don’t get any sleep, haha (but baby is SO worth it!!!)

  13. Catherine @ foodiecology says

    August 8, 2014 at 4:43 pm

    Oh, I hear you on the rolling over without pain! Now, when I wake up within, say, 40 minutes of my alarm clock, I make sure I go back to sleep FACING it so I don’t have to roll myself over to turn it off. The little things, lol.

    You look great! Hope you start feeling better once you’re settled into your new home.

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨
