32 Weeks - Pains, Pressure, and Already Missing This Pregnancy

How far along? The pic is from 32 weeks ... Scarlett weighs almost 4 lbs. and is already the length she will be at birth! She also has fingernails, toenails, and hair on her head :) Since not a whole lot is changing week-to-week at this point, I'll probably do a picture every other week. Getting so close to the end now!
Belly size: Here's the belly:

Oh wait, just kidding - this is me exactly 1 year ago. Little bitty body, I'll see you again soon!

HERE is the new belly pic! (I really am going to miss it ...)

Symptoms? Frequent bathroom visits, the occasional cramp, Braxton Hicks a couple of times during the week, sore pelvis and hips from the giant belly, and swelling ... oh, the swelling. If I'm on my feet too much or too long, they swell up - along with my ankles - and it's gotten slightly uncomfortable. Drinking lots of water, putting my feet up, and cutting back on salty foods has helped a lot.
Total weight gain/loss: Up 29 lbs. total - 162 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yep - and I just treated myself to a new pair of yoga pants and a comfy cozy robe to pack in the hospital bag.
Food cravings: Toasted whole wheat English muffins with melted peanut butter, Lipton noodle soup, spinach with vinegar, orange juice, French onion soup, vanilla ice cream, chocolate pudding, bananas
Anything making you queasy or sick: Anything with a really strong smell
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep: Sleeping alright, but Steve says I scream in my sleep from the weird pregnancy nightmares.
Best moment this week: Steve put Scarlett's awesome dresser/changing table combo together, I washed ALL of her clothes and blankets, and started filling the drawers. Such a relief for a crazy, nesting mama! We also put these brand new white wooden bunk beds with new mattresses and bedding in the girls' room ... makes the girls feel included to have something new amongst all the baby stuff, and it really makes the room look cute and girly. I'll post pictures once the room is done :)

 

Miss Anything? Herbal tea and caffeinated drinks, since apparently I'm really not supposed to drink either. Excited to not have all these limits on what I can eat/drink! (But she sure is worth it :)

Movement: Sooo much movement! I can feel where her feet are most of the time ... And she's so big now that when she flips around, I can see my entire belly move. It's also fun to set a small object - like a pen or something - on the belly and watch her move it. It's the coolest thing!!

Labor Signs: Nope!  
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie, believe it or not.
Wedding rings on or off? This week I started taking them off every now and then because my fingers would swell and then go back to normal. I feel like I won't be able to wear them at all very soon :(
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time, moody a handful of times this week ...
Baby Stuff Purchased? More diapers (we're going to try Huggies Natural and Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive to start with), more wipes, some more super cute baby clothes (I can't help myself!) including her going home from the hospital outfit.

Looking forward to: Well at this point, I'm REALLY looking forward to meeting our girl, of course; looking forward to my mama flying in on March 27th for the birth (hopefully Scarlett waits that long!); also hanging decorations above her crib and on her bedroom walls :)
