She better be cute

Barn Barn decided it was play time!

And Spike decided to join

But wasn't in the mood to play rough, he just wanted to give Gracie some kisses

Andrew doesn't know my style of taking a belly photo, why is my head in the picture?

My sweet boys!

I feel like I need to complain, and this blog seems like the most appropriate place to do it. HOLY HIPS! I woke up on Tuesday and I could barely walk. I was emotional and in tons of pain. My entire pelvis felt like it was disintegrating. I finally pulled it together and was getting dressed for work when I noticed new stretch marks. I lost it (still not over it). I know it's totally normal, but I always hoped I would be the lucky one that avoided that shit. I know it sounds dramatic, but this was a pretty traumatic morning. Thankfully my hip pain was just a bad day because when I woke up on Wednesday they felt 100 times better. It was a scary thought that I could be in that much pain for the next 2 months! What if it didn't go away? How was I supposed to work? And all of you that know me well can imagine all the panic that was going through my head at the time (it's what I felt like before a test in college, ya...that bad).
I am 90% sure I am starting to have contractions that don't feel good, I can't sit for long, can't stand for long, can't bend over within 4 hours of eating, my food is stuck in my throat, Gracie learned how to kick my ribs, I am starving then I am sick to my stomach, and my arms and "chin" look huge. I think I am done now. For this week.

More exciting news...Andrew is now on the Junior board for Make A Wish AND has a new wish kid! He will find out more about both of these things next week, so more to come on that.

32 Week Update:
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
