32 Week Pictures

So this is actually week 33 of my pregnancy, but I have yet to post my week 32 pictures…so we’ll just make do, shall we? I had an ultrasound last Wednesday afternoon to check and make sure that Kennedy was still happily growing away. Here’s her profile and you can see her little hand at the top of the screen too.

She’s gained about a pound since the last time she had her picture taken and is now at around four pounds according to the ultrasound measurements. Her head and belly measurements put her about a week ahead of where she is gestationally, and her leg measurements are two weeks ahead….aka she has long legs. When the tech measured her leg bone she paused, looked at me, and finally asked, “Is your husband tall?” She was concerned that the measurement was really off based on my height…what’s she trying to say?! After hearing that Andrew is, in fact, quite tall she laughed and said that it seems Kennedy has her daddy’s long legs.

Here I am at 32 weeks. I am definitely beginning to feel huge. I frequently run into chairs thinking that I’ve left myself enough room to slide past and then discover (the hard way) that I haven’t. Sleeping through the night has been a thing of the past for weeks now and I certainly have many days where I feel like I’m dragging due to the lack of consistent sleep. Yes, I do understand that will only get worse after Kennedy arrives. No, that does not somehow make me less tired now. (Have you ever noticed how people seem to think that telling you it only gets worse is supposed to make you feel better? Silly logic, I think.) 

In many ways we are getting closer to being ready for Kennedy to make her debut. We have a car seat installed and a pack and play set up in the family room. We only have 3 weeks left in our childbirth class. We go to visit a pediatrician next week. And yet, we’re not quite there yet….hospital bag hasn’t been packed, baby clothes haven’t been washed, changing table and crib are still being used as storage places, haven’t made her mobile for her crib, etc. But we’re getting there. Day by day and week by week. And we are getting more and more excited to meet her with all of those passing days and weeks!
