32 Weeks - Only 8 More to Go...Seriously?


Well, I am down to 8 weeks! 8 weeks! That sounds crazy to me! That breaks down to just 2 months or 56 days. Now through all of my years in this life I can tell you that 8 weeks can FLY by! Especially when you are excited about what is at the end of that 8 weeks! Baby Duffy will grace us with her presence! I am officially due October 20th via the Doctor but from my online calculator I am due on October 17th, which is exactly 8 weeks from yesterday (Sunday, July 22). So we shall see who is right. My Doctor says if I think the 17th (I was saying the 16th, but in actuality it was the 17th) that she could come on the 17th. Either way, it is going to be crazy!

Much to do before that day though, including nursery set-up, getting all of the last minute stuff we need for baby, confirm hospital, classes, yaddy yah, you have heard this before!

So, at 32 weeks, Baby Duffy on average should be weighing in 3.75 pounds (the size of a Jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long. My Doctor informed me that the baby is actually measuring a little small but nothing to worry about! I am sure that is just because Tim and I are both kind of short=) OK, maybe I am! Tim is average in height! Baby Duffy's heartbeat sounds great and as I type she is moving around, probably trying to find some space in my short torso! I am starting to wonder how the heck she is fitting in there when I am just 5 foot 2 inches tall!

In general, I am feeling pretty good...again, just really tired at various points of the day. I am happy to report I get sleep thanks to my body pillow! And I am not feeling too uncomfortable yet! But it is VERY easy to just lay down most of the time. I need to push myself to get out, walk, workout and keep moving!
