32 Weeks

32 weeks along. 8 to go!

Bradley should be about 17 inches long and weigh about 4 pounds now. He should have fingernails, toenails, and possibly a full head of hair! (Maybe like his daddy's???)

Monday night I could see Bradley's head through my stomach! All the sudden my stomach was sticking out in one particular spot, and I was like, "What in the world??" Xon and I put our hands on top of the spot, and it was perfectly round like a little head. I said, "Buddy, you're going to punch through Mama's stomach!" ;-) That's the first time I could see a specific body part, though I can see and feel him lots more lately. I guess he's getting to be a big ol' boy.

Xon and I went to a Baby Basics class at the hospital on Tuesday night. They told us what kinds of things the hospital provides when you're there, let us practice swaddling some baby dolls, told us how to care for the umbilical cord, etc. Xon said he learned some things, so he will be ready to take care of Bradley when he arrives!

Had our latest Dr. appointment this morning. I've gained one pound in the last 2 weeks--bringing me to 27 total. My blood sugar is looking super duper. She said I could test fewer than 4 times a day now, but I admitted that I like seeing that the level is good, so I don't mind doing it 4 times a day. She said she's the same way, but if I feel like slacking off sometimes, it's ok.

We have some sort of "event" planned every two weeks for the rest of my pregnancy, so hopefully the next 8-ish weeks are going to fly by, and soon I will have lil' Bradley in my arms.....
