32 weeks!

32 weeks pregnant! Well, I'm another week down. Interestingly, my belly has not grown in inches, but it still looks bigger and I probably gained more weight (I find out this Friday at my next PNA).

Not much new to report. I can feel Kaua move a lot more, but I read in WTE that its because my amniotic fluid levels have topped out, which means more baby, less fluid, and therefore, less cushion to soften those "blows" that he gives me. It's really quite trippy feeling. I place my hand on my belly and feels his movements trying to guess what body part he's brushing up against my belly, but I have no idea really. Maybe the doc will be able to tell me. Less than 8 weeks till Kaua. =)

New on the symptom front is feet swelling. It's still not very significant but more than last week. I still fit my sandals, but I think it may get worse. I tried taking off my toe ring, but no luck. It still fits on my toe with some room, but it does not come off the top of my toe. I hope my feet dont swell up too much so that it cuts off my circulation, or it will be bye bye toe ring (we'll have to cut it off). I've had this toe ring on for years. Its 14K and its from my Aunty. Long story short, she was walking in the mall and a vendor asked her to try one on. She warned him that it may not come back off, and lo and behold, it didn't. He said to just come back and return it when it could come off. She never went back, but eventually got it off. She then gave it to me. I swear I've had it on my toe for over 7-10 years and it's still looking beautiful. It'd be sad to have to cut it off, but that's what I get for waiting so long to take it off.

Here's my feet today:

Not much swelling, but they were swollen saturday night when we went to watch our local university football game. I'll try to take a swollen feet picture next time.


Not much else going on other than meeting with realtors and working on getting our house market ready. Did some painting over the weekend. Still need to do some more....but it's a start.

I think my first baby shower is coming up next week saturday. The inlaws are throwing it so I have no idea what to expect. DH will be working and I'm sure it'll just be his side of the family (like how they did when they threw my bridal shower a couple years back). The interesting thing is that none of his immediate family lives here, so it'll just be his aunties and his cousin's wives. Haven't even been told where it is or when to show up. I've just been told that my saturday is reserved. Hey, it's the thought that counts right?
