Great Position!

  Last night when I rolled into bed (literally because my belly prohibits me from those pre-pregnancy moves) I must have perfectly positioned my pillows because I was super-comfortable for nearly all of the night.  I even woke up a few times, realized I was still comfy and told myself, "STILL comfortable!!  DO NOT MOVE!!"  It was splendid!  Unfortunately I did have to get up for a bathroom trip and when I rolled back into bed I just couldn't find that heavenly position again.  Sigh.  At least I got a few more uninterrupted hours of sleep than usual . :-) 

Baby Update: 32 Weeks

Size of Baby: About 16.7" long and weighs about 3.75 lbs (like a large Jicama, though I've never seen or had one of those...).
Changes in Baby:  Gaining roughly about 0.5 lbs per week for the next 7 weeks.  Baby has toenails, fingernails, and real hair!
Baby Movement:  All the time, and sometimes so hard that Zach can feel the vibration through the bed even if he's not touching my belly!  Kicks and sommersaults are getting much more intense.
Changes in Mama:  Fundal height seems to be measuring more than should be at this point in the pregnancy...I hope to find out much more during this next doc appointment.  Large belly is making life pretty difficult when it comes to bending over and moving around (putting on socks/shoes, drying off after a shower, eating from a lower table, turning over in bed, getting out of bed....and the list goes on).
Changes in Daddy:  Getting very excited the closer we get to bringing Baby Holm into the world.  Looking forward to having our own little family :-)
Current Symptoms:  Lessening of heartburn a bit, though still horrible.  Frequent lower back pain.  Continuous Braxton Hicks contractions all throughout the day, but progressing more towards the night and fading into the morning.
Cravings:  Ice water, veggies, chicken fingers from A&W.
Aversions: Anything with an intense smell or funky texture.
Exciting News:  VA ceritification is moving right along, just waiting for Zach's Commander to sign some forms and send them back to us.
Looking Forward to...: Having a weekend with my hunny without driving all over.
Not Looking Forward to...:  Dentist appt tomorrow because I'll have to lie on my back which is not very comfortable at all.
Nesting:  Settling down a bit, but more so because I'm too uncomfortable at night to do anything but prop up my feet and try to ease my backpain.
Next Doc Appt: Monday July 18.
