Day 37: 32 Weeks Pregnancy Survey

Rather than do a narrative today, I thought I'd do a pregnancy survey each week for the next few weeks.  But just so you know, I'm doing well and Baby is still hanging in there.  I only had a little uterine irritability today, which mostly appeared when I got stressed and  emotional when B had another melt down (he stayed home from school and had a much needed rest day).   Here's my answers for my 32 week pregnancy survey.

How far along:  32 weeks and 2 days
Total weight gain: 23 pounds to date (That's A LOT for me, and most of it was put on in the last few weeks because of a high calorie, high protein diet to help bulk up Baby in case of prematurity, but I'm trying not to go too crazy here).
How big is baby: At my ultrasound yesterday, the tech informed me that Baby Boy is measuring 4 pounds, 6 ounces, and I’m measuring a week ahead. Baby is at the 53rd percentile, and probably won't be anywhere near that percentile after birth (B was never really on the growth charts)
Gen­der: Definitely a BOY!  There's no denying it on all the ultrasounds we've seen.
Baby Move­ment: Lots!  This boy is a puncher or kicker, that's for sure.
Mater­nity clothes:  I'm living mostly in maternity shirts paired with my old pajama bottoms, which I'm stretching to their limits (and I can't really go to the store for new ones at this point), but I enjoy dressing up in my favorite maternity wear for doctor's appointments or just to make myself feel better some days. 
Stretch marks: Few new ones, but they're there. 
Belly But­ton (in or out?): Still in
Wed­ding Rings (on or off): Still on
How I’m feeling:  Huge. I’ve gotten bigger with this pregnancy and it shows (that's what happens when you lay around and eat, try to bulk up Baby with Boost protein drinks, and don't get any exercise).  Because of the weight and a constantly contracting uterus, I'm sore and uncomfortable,but emotionally, I'm staying positive so I can get through the next several week.  
What I miss:  Being able to sleep on my stomach, being able to pick up B, being able to cook and help my family members, being able to be up and around (I miss lots of things because of bed rest).
Symptoms:  If you read my blog, you'll know all the symptoms I've experienced:  contractions that put me into labor at 28 weeks with a 48 hour hospital stay, lots of uterine irritability that causes pain and contractions (that once sent us to the hospital, thinking they were the real thing), a cervix that has shortened (effaced) early, a sore abdomen, and round ligament pain (among others).  Oh, the joys! 
Sleep:  It's getting harder and harder to sleep comfortably with a growing belly and contractions, and even hugging a pillow doesn't always help.  My doctor gave me an Ambien prescription, but I try to only use it as a last resort.
Cravings:  Anything fried (mozzarella cheese sticks anyone?)
Food Aversions:  None. I will eat anything and everything at this point. And apparently it shows.  I still have a huge gag reflex and smells (like that of raw chicken) get to me, as does brushing my teeth.
Hardships This Week:  B's fits.  I am worried about my kids (this baby and B who has been negatively affected by the pregnancy complications and has had a turn for the worst behaviorally and emotionally).  I'm also worried about my husband who takes his state boards tomorrow and is really anxious about the exam.
Highlights this week:  My spa day yesterday
What I'm looking forward to:  J passing his test so he's less stressed and being at home again after being at my in-laws for almost two weeks.
