Week 32 check up

32 weeks with Ramona's shark towel and washcloth

My doctors appointment went well again today. Ramona is growing steadily and is plumping up for her debut in less then 2 months. I've started meeting the other 3 doctors in the medical practice and have really liked all of them which is comforting.

Stats update:
Weight gain - 13.5lb in 32.5 weeks. Right on track and feeling good!

Maternity clothes - getting sick of wearing the same things! However, to Noah's enjoyment and amazement the store "Hot Mama" gives free beer to the husbands of shopping wives :) I may be getting more new clothes sooner rather then later!

Sleep - Enjoying bedtime more and more...and earlier and earlier. Apparently, however, I've started snoring....

Stretch marks - I am shocked to report that I still don't have any!

Movement - She is moving around. We did have a little scare when I didn't feel her for almost 2 days. However, she is doing well, just moving to a weird position. Now she is in a breach position for the first time, but she still has time to move.

Food Cravings - DOUBLE STUFFED OREOS!

Belly Button - still an inny

What I miss - Being able to bend over to tie my shoes with out losing my breath! Its sounds so silly, but its true.

What I'm looking forward to - Finishing the nursery!

19th Street Baby Shower / 32 weeks

32 weeks at the shower

Today I had my first shower with the lovely ladies of 19th Street. As the years go by, each get together becomes more and more rare and special. We are so lucky to have grown up in such a loving neighborhood.

Erin, Debbie, and Col did an absolutely wonderful job with food, decorations, centerpieces, and a hysterical game. Of course, the best part was having them back in Lombard! (missed you Allie) We were completely spoiled with gifts and laughter today.

Erin and Col came up with a perfectly funny and fitting game. In honor of Noah and I being music teachers, pairs of people drew out the name of a kids' song and had to re-write the words so they talked about Ramona, Noah and I. Then they performed them with instruments! Everyone was such a good sport and they were so fun to listen to! Below are pictures of the performers :)
