Pregnancy No. 2: 32 Week Recap

Week 32 was the most uncomfortable week by far.  Lack of sleep and tons of contractions plagued me.  So far 33 weeks is going much better!

2/4 (32 Weeks) – 8 Months pregnant! Exhausted today from busy weekend.

2/5 (32w1d) – Painful contractions. Poor sleep not related to pregnancy, but just getting to bed late and Mac waking a lot.  He is getting his canines in the poor guy. 

2/6 (32w2d) – Painful contractions again today.  Nothing timeable and not overly painful but defninitely worth nothing as it's very different than my pregnancy with Macario. Still exhausted as poor sleep continues.

2/7 (32w3d) – Prenatal appointment. No weight change. Down 3 lbs from starting weight. On pace to be about where I was with Mac by delivery. BP good, baby size good, baby HB good. I took a nap on the exam table while waiting for nurse to come in. Ha!  My nurse was late to get in and I was desperate to catch a few more Zs since Mac still not sleeping well and last night was worse because we stayed up late talking to my sister.

Ordered more cloth diapers today. This time I ordered the one-sized diapers which Mac will be able to use until he potty trains and then baby will take over when he's older.

2/8 (32w4d) – Exhausted. Took 15 min nap on one of the board member’s couch in her office (she was not in and always offers up the couch for naps). I was embarrassed about it, but have been told over and over that people commonly do that and also my bosses and co-workers are very accommodating/forgiving with me because I’m pregnant so i just went for it. I felt totally rejuvinated after my nap.  I think I should do that more often though I don't think I'll let myself.  I was just absolutely desperate today.

2/9 (32w5d) – Track meet. This time in town, but Mac was more antsy than last week. I walked the bleachers a bunch with him and then had lots of ctx all night. At one point I had to start timing them. By then point they had gotten to be around 4-4.5 mins apart. They were painful, but not getting any more intense. After about half an hour of timing they broke and went down to 9 mins apart before completely tapering off around 12:30 a.m. I was nervous that they wouldn't stop and secretly got a little bit upset thinking I might have to leave Mac to go to the hospital to have them stop the contractions.  I'm very anxious about leaving him for the birth and this was a reality check that I might have to be away from him because nothing about pregnancy is in anyone's control.

2/10 (32w6d) – Long day. Dad and bros visiting and were over all day. Got all laundry done and put away to help me feel better during week. Bought big brother/little brother shirts for the boys!
