Here we are at 32 weeks!
For comparison's sake, these next two pictures show what I looked like at 32 weeks when I was pregnant with Lainey.
I would like to point out a few things about this pregnancy...
1. I think I am bigger with this baby than with Lainey. I think he sticks out further than she did! I am not sure if it's because it's my second pregnancy or because he's a boy and I'm carrying differently or because he's just bigger. Either way, I'm finding that I don't have too many clothes that are fitting comfortably these days. I have a hard time finding shirts that cover my stomach completely! And believe me, they need to cover that stomach completely.
2. I am definitely more uncomfortable with this pregnancy than I was the first time. The latest bullet point on "because I'm pregnant" list is shin splints. Seriously? They hurt! And believe me, I have not been running. With Lainey I had horrible pain in my heels, but with this one, it's shin splints. I'm also suffering from heartburn and those of you who know me well know that I've been on Nexium for years and can't function well without it. (I've tried.) I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to take it throughout both pregnancies and up until this past week, it's done a great job keeping the heartburn at bay. Not any longer. Maybe it's just a phase!
3. This baby is a constant mover and shaker. I mean I can literally watch him move throughout the day. It's that obvious! I think it's a boy thing...? Sometimes he stops me in my tracks. I have to stop what I'm doing so that he can twist and move and get comfortable.
4. Our baby does not have a name yet.
5. We are working on the nursery. His new glider arrives on January 2nd so after that's in place, we'll be able to arrange the room!

You look absolutely PRECIOUS! I totally hear you about the heart burn! I had never had heartburn in my life before Nathan! Believe me, "Tums Smoothies" and I were VERY good friends! I kept a bottle by the bed and one in my purse at all times! Maybe he has lots of hair. They say there's a connection! It was true with Nathan! One good thing about pregnancy is that "uncomfortablenesses" go in phases like you said. Thank goodness! :) Hang in there! Not much left now!
Abby, you are one cute preggo! And I agree, you look bigger (but equally beautiful) with this pregnancy. Sorry about the heartburn! I too hope it is just a phase!
You look amazing! You are carrying so low!! I cannot believe you are already 32 weeks. Seriously, where did the time go? I can't wait for more details. Getting excited for y'all!
And, Merry Christmas!!
You look beautiful!! I had terrible heartburn with James the last 3 months. It is no fun!
