32 Weeks!

2 posts in one day because I’m 32 weeks pregnant, with only 8 weeks (+/- 1 or 2 weeks) to go!

As of today I have only 1 more month of work, I told work today that my last day will be December 23rd.  I originally planned on working for 2 weeks in January, but that was when I thought that there were 3 weeks before my due date in January, when in reality there are only 2 full weeks.  My office always closes between Christmas and New Years, and although I think a month is too much time off before the baby, I know that I’ll be so busy during Christmas & New Years that that time does not count.  So starting December 23rd I will be off work for over 1 year!  It’s just so weird to even think of it.

Raspbaby is still the size of a squash (about 4 pounds and getting fatter every day). All 5 senses are working, and the brain and nervous system are going through major development.    I feel more jabs and stretching in my stomach now, more then just crazy wiggling and movement.  Baby will stick it’s elbow (or something bony) at my side and I can press it and it will move.  It’s like a fun game that Scott and I get to play.  Tease the baby!  And after being scared that the baby was not growing anymore, my belly is even bigger this week, so I’m no longer (as) scared.  I also have not really had much heartburn over the past week, which is a nice change and ironic since one website I read said I should be having more heartburn now.  But I’m feeling breathless really easily now, especially if I try to lay on my back, it’s no longer comfortable.
