Like a Weed

I am now 32 weeks pregnant.  Ryan, Layla and I headed to a growth ultrasound and office visit for this appointment and the little guy is growing good!  He was estimated (give or take an ounce or two) to be at 4lb 15oz, which is in the 70th percentile!  He is only 14oz away from Layla's birth weight and he still has eight weeks of cooking time left.  I told the doctor that I have a feeling I am going to be pushing out something a little bigger this time around :)  Just for some comparison, Layla was 3lb 8oz at her 32 week ultrasound.

The (big?) little guy is really getting smushed in there now.

I am still feeling pretty good.  Some of the joys of the third trimester have caught up with me but I am doing just fine.  I often say I would take all of the aches and pains a million times over worrying about having a premature baby.  Layla's third trimester was a very scary time for Ryan and I and this time around I am round, relaxed and trying to enjoy this last stretch of pregnancy.  Maybe a little too relaxed as we still need to complete the nursery.  I have been nesting, but mostly in the form of sewing and internet shopping!  Are these two items considered nesting??

A few sewing items and a sneak peek at the baby's first initial....

Layla has been very funny about the baby and my changing body lately.  I was wearing a regular shirt (it was a tank top, I was very warm!) of mine last week and when Layla saw me she said, "Mommy, that too little.  Mommy, you wear that after the baby comes.  Mommy, you wear daddy's shirt."  My sister was on the phone at the time and heard Layla repeat this about 5 times.  We both thought it was too funny....and poor Layla was really freaked out!  She also has been very sweet with me.  She does a lot of bending tasks for me now (turning off her nightlight, picking things up off the floor, putting on her own shoes, etc) and tells me my belly is getting too big and she can do it.

Big sister-to-be!

That is the baby update for now.  I go back in two weeks for an office visit, four weeks for an office visit/ultrasound and then the weekly visits begin.    Here's to a healthy last two months!!
