32 Weeks!

Well guys... I haven't gotten ready yet today so no bump picture this week. No worries, it's still there I promise. 
This past week has been kind of a rough one! I finally got a chiropractic adjustment, and I think that's probably a big part of the problem... you're usually pretty sore afterwards since your body is used to having things in the wrong place and then they're suddenly back in the right place. :p I've been talked into buying a pregnancy support belt... when I tried it on for all of two minutes I was in heaven. So. Speak now or forever hold your peace- moms out there did you try one? Did you like it? After the Dr adjusted my lower back he made the comment that usually women have too much movement in the sacral joint but mine has been really tight and 'stuck' so I haven't had a lot of movement. Well... I think he fixed it and it's un-stuck now because That's been the hardest part of this week. Lower back and hip pain. (Boo) I guess the belt is just supposed to help your front ligaments from being strained by this gigantic belly, and to stabilize the other ligaments around your sacral joint. Seems legit to me... Anywho.
Best part of this week: This kid has been MOVING. I know I've said that before but I think he just keeps getting more active... or at least the bigger he gets the more I can feel all his partying in there. :) It does get a little frustrating when he decides to unleash his boxing fury on my bladder, or when he gets his toes wedged up in my ribs, but it's still so funny to me when he gets going. I seriously just sit and laugh by myself sometimes... I'm sure I look like a total nut case. :p
Hardest part of this week: Like I said. Lower back and hip pain is no fun. It makes sleeping just about impossible since I can't figure out which side hurts the least to lay on. :p I guess that'll make me more appreciative of being able to lay on my back or stomach when this little guy gets here, right? :)
Aversions: I really need to write things down as they happen, because I know there have been a few times that I've started to eat something and I can't bring myself to finish it because 'the texture is weird' or 'I just can't'. I've turned into a pickier eater in ways since being pregnant. I'm curious if it will stay that way after? Or maybe I'll have my system back on normal planes of hormone levels and suddenly I'll eat granola bars like it's my job. Who knows, pregnancy is weird. (And miraculous and unfathomable and uncomfortable and wonderful and emotional and beautiful and... ;) )
Cravings: Milk. Sometimes when I'm hungry I'd rather just have a huge glass of milk instead of any food we've got on hand. (I haven't ever hated milk, but I've never been a super avid drinker either so this has been weird. I feel like it even tastes different to me lately, but I could just be crazy. Usually crazy. Definitely crazy.) I've also really just wanted a big fat hamburger, and a bagel. Not necessarily combined or in that order. ;) Again, I've never hated bagels, but they haven't ever been my very favorite either so this was super random too. Maybe I'll have to put that on my to do list for the day: buy bagels. :) (If they're whole grain and I get low fat cream cheese- that I'll definitely spread at least two inches of its delicious goodness on the bagels- it's totally healthy, right?)
So. 32 weeks down and 8 to go. Give or take I guess. My app does a countdown of how many days left, and it's so weird to me to see it under 100. Under 60 even! We've got 57 left as of today, in case you're curious. I think we have basically everything lined up... we don't have a stroller and we're still waiting on the carseat but everything is in order to get one. I won't need a stroller right away anyway, so I'm not super worried.  The baby showers are coming up! I'm sure we'll get plenty of clothes for his first months of life, so I haven't really dared buy anything until after the showers. Maybe I should start stocking up on diapers and watching for sales or coupons on them. How many of each size do you get though? I've got my packing list ready for my hospital bag but I've still been too lazy to pack it just yet. I keep telling myself I need to just get it done so I can be ready if this kid is as impatient as I am- and then keep convincing myself that his due date isn't until the 13th so that if he decides it's more cozy in there and stays put for a week past due I won't be completely dying. (Who are we kidding though, we all know I'll be pacing around feeling like a ticking time bomb as soon as I quit work anyway. Haha)
Anywho... there's your ramble update for this week!  Sorry if you've all dozed off from boredom. ;)
