Sleep:What is this? I can get 4 good hours if i take benadryl but then i have a benadryl hangover and feel foggy minded all day.

Food Craving:Food on general. Today its been burgers,fries and Braums peanut butter cup ice cream
What I Miss:NOTHING OK maybe i miss a good nights sleep but i wouldn't trade that for this experience and the new baby we will be bringing home soon.
What I’m Looking Forward To: Maternity pics this Sunday, The upcoming Just between friends sale to find Glenn and Hope some great thing at great prices. Also i have another ultrasound on Friday and cant wait to see our little man

Due Date:11/13/2011
How Far Along:32 weeks 4 days
How Big is Baby: At our appt today Glenn weighed in at 4# 11oz. This is what Hope weighed at #5 weeks birth. I have a feeling he might be a big baby..
Symptoms:Random heartburn and lack of sleep
Total Weight Gain: 13 pounds
Maternity Clothes:All the time
Stretch Marks: No new ones but my belly sure does itch like crazy
Sleep:Next to impossible. I can get a good 4hr stretch is i take Tylenol pm but i don't like the way i feel after i wake up for the day after I've taken it.
Movement: All the time. Glenn is way more active than Hope ever was although she was mush smaller apparently then he is so her movement probably was a strong as his.
Food Craving: Food in general, I had a tummy bug at the beginning of the week and all i wanted after it passed was meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
What I Miss:Nothing but i would love for just 1 good night of sleep before he arrives in 7 short weeks.
What I’m Looking Forward To: My weekly doctor appt and ultrasounds. I love looking at my adorable baby on ultrasound and cant wait to hold him in my arms.
Milestones: Getting to 32 weeks without any blood pressure problems. This is when my blood pressure started going up with Hope and we were never able to get a good control on it before i delivered.

How Big is Baby:Glenn should measure about 16.25 inches and weigh about 3.3 pounds according to my baby bump app. About the size of 4 naval oranges.

Total Weight Gain: I stepped on the scale to day to see if i had gained any weight this weekend from our trip and having my band released and I'm still the same weight... Woohoo for that.

Stretch Marks: No new ones
Sleep:I'm waking every 2 hrs like clockwork to pee or readjust my position in bed. Ive slept on my left side most of this pregnancy but its starting to become uncomfortable now

Food Craving:Food in general...
What I Miss:NOTHING
What I’m Looking Forward To: Our appt next week and ultrasound. Hopefully we will also start our weekly visit to L&D for non-stress test. I know i should be excited about those but i am as it will be more reassurance that everything is good and if it ts not hopefully we will catch it early and get a few more weeks in utero on bed rest.
Milestones:WE have made it to 31 weeks. We are in the 3rd trimester and feeling great.
