32 Weeks!

32 Weeks

I am officially 32 weeks as of today! Hooray! To quote some of the information given to me but the multitudes of pregnancy applications I currently have on my phone, I should be gaining a pound a week and roughly half of that goes to the baby. The baby now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair! I guess that is progress right?! I mean it seems like not that long ago, the same app was equating the size of my baby to a blueberry.
I thought it would be nice (for you to see, definitely not for me) how I have progressed since week 25. I am now slightly rounder than before and seeming to grow right on track according to the doctor. I really could not ask for more than that now can I? I go back to the doctor on Monday for my 32 week appointment and I will post an update and what the doctor has to say.

On another note, days following the baby shower I am still getting gifts in the mail. I am overwhelmed at the generosity of my friends and family. This baby was well showered with love and necessities to welcome him into the world. Yesterday I received a package my brother and family that contained present after present--all very practical and useful things that I would never have thought of. Leave it to the parents to provide the most useful of gifts. Of course, I am a sucker and full of sentimentality over some things. My favorite gift was a bib that they sent me that had "Grandma Jan loves Me" on it. I was incredibly moved by that gesture. My mom would be incredibly excited about this baby and would love him already, just as Vlad and I already do. We already knew this baby had his guardian angel in my mom, and now he has another, in Mica (Vlad's grandmother).

So that is where I am, 32 weeks and growing. The changes are becoming much more noticeable. I will make sure to take another picture in a few weeks to see further changes. I am feeling good and getting more than ready for this baby to make his appearance in the world.  Until next time...
