32 Weeks

• Brian, me, and baby Flamme were honored with a very special baby shower at our fieldwork congregation, Zion Friedheim, in Decatur, IN



• Baby weighs about 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long (taking up a lot of room!)



• I am gaining about a pound a week (or am supposed to) and roughly half goes directly to the baby



• He will gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks



• He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair



• His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth



• He is swallowing, breathing, kicking, and sucking in the womb...in fact, he has been able to suck his thumb for quite awhile



• The baby has had hiccups and I have felt them!



• His kicks and movements sometimes hurt and sleeping is becoming a challenge but it will all be worth it. :)
