32 WEEKS AND 1 DAY

Week 32: Mommy, you're HOT!Fetal development in pregnancy week 32: fetus in eighth month In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature! This means you’ll probably get a swift kick if you put a hot pad on your ginormous belly. For the Elton John lovers out there-- yes, baby’s got blue eyes. At this point, all babies do, although depending on their chromosomal disposition, this could easily change after birth (or even between now and labor), but for the time being, blue it is. Thanks to their recently matured lungs and a remarkably strong immune system, over 90% of babies born in their 32nd week, survive premature births. So it’s pretty much a done deal. Even if your little monkey’s planning on heading out early, their survival odds are in everyone’s favor. Time to celebrate (no, no, wait until after the birth to crack open the champagne!) We’re talking baby-showers and alcohol-free punch!

Well, I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable these days. My arms make me look like a linebacker for the Houston Texans and my belly, well, that's a different story, I'm not even gonna go there. I had my baby shower this past weekend and got a lot of cool stuff. I got Jackson's stroller, play yard, an awesome swing, boppy, tons of clothes, toys...you name it, I got it. I still need to get some more supplies but other than that, I'm pretty much ready for this baby to make his appearance. Work is getting more and more difficult. I have to sit for long periods of time and this makes my feet swell. I honestly cannot wait to get out of here to take care of Jackson.
