32 Weeks :) 17 April 2012. 8 more to go

Wow! I am already 32 weeks. Thats what I was telling to krishna yesterday, I am already 32 weeks. Days are moving so fast. I heard from many saying that days move very slow during last days of pregnacy.
It feels overwelming to think about the delivery day.

I know when I used to think about pregnancy I used be afraid before, Now I can do it. In the same way I can also be well and strong during labor.

How big is my baby:

Changes in my baby:

• By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus.
•  s/he'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as s/he fattens up for survival outside the womb.
•  S/he now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her/His skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
•  baby is practicing survival skills like sucking and breathing, while your uterus is practicing some Braxton Hicks contractions.
• My baby is just practicing practicing and practicing now.

Changes in me:

• My Baby is moving so much. I feel as if the waves are moving in my belly
• Sometimes I can feel baby legs and hands I guess., Some small bump raises,some times a big one.
• Sugar is normally in control , sometimes below 130 and sometime lil above 130
• Strech marks are killing me soooooo danm itcy. I cant bear that. I dont know how I am going to pass these 8 more weeks without scraching.I heard that the belly will be itcy even after delivery and I should not scrach. :(. This is abig tourture in whole pregnancy.
• Yesterday I saw some while coming out , i was afarid thinking that it is mucus plug,But now I am doing good so its not that.
• Some fears all the time comes and goes.
• Nights I have to get up min of 3 to 4 times for bathroom.
• I am hungry during midnights and I had to eat , atelast to keep my ketonix level as neg.
• Me and krishna discussing about Birth plan, house moving, hospital tours, baby stuff shopping etc. So we are finally in that mood as Krishna is finally all set and his H1B got approved and he is starting to work from tomorrow.
• I am getting contractions quite frequently, thats when my belly becomes so tight and it stays for few sec, I cant bear that sometimes
