At 32 weeks, Baby B has a 90% chance of surviving outside of the womb. How amazing is that?! Of course I want her to stay in as long as she needs because I do not want her to be in the NICU. But I am just so happy to make it this far without any complications.

I finally had my baby shower! I feel like I was looking forward to it for ages, and now it's already come and gone. I cannot think my mom and best friend enough for putting so much time and effort into making the shower so special for me.

I must say I was stressed the entire week leading up to my shower. I shopped all week for a new dress, but nothing was what I was looking for. I was so fed up with trying on dresses I ended up crying. In the end I wore a dress I bought in my first trimester, and it all worked out. But I was also extremely worried about the weather. It was raining the entire week. Good ole' Florida was so hot and humid. I thought there was no way we could have the shower outside like I wanted. The back up plan was to have it at my tiny house.

It did end up raining twice before the shower but not during the party. Thank, God! It was hot and humid, and my hair that I had done a couple hours prior was a complete mess, but it was still a great time. It was decorated so beautifully, the food was all local and so many of my friends that I hadn't seen in ages were able to make it. 

Location/Food: Community Loaves

How far along: 32 weeks! 8 weeks to go.

Gender: GIRL!

Weight gain:  My scale at home is showing 143.6, so I lost a pound and a half. But I really don't know how accurate my scale is.

Symptoms: The indigestion is the worst! I get full so quickly, and I can feel my food coming back up if I eat too much. There just isn't any room in there. Luckily, this means I'm not eating as much, but it also means I'm sleeping less at night. I also have shortness of breath.

Belly button in or out: Out.

Sleep: This has been the hardest week when it comes to sleep. It takes me forever to fall asleep. When I finally manage to pass out I will usually wake up once or twice during the night. On Thursday night I woke up at 1:50 AM and couldn't fall back to sleep until after 4 AM. 

Best moment this week: The baby shower.

Worst moment this week: This may sound trivial, but the worst moment this week was not being able to find a dress for my baby shower. I have tried 50 dresses at every store I can think of and nothing was the right style, fit or pattern. Everything I tried on just made me feel ugly. It was so depressing. I eventually gave up and decided to wear a dress I already had in my closet. I cried a lot this week and this was only one of the reasons. 

Miss anything: Sleeping soundly.

Movement: All of Baby B's flips and turns can now be seen on the outside. She is so big now (4 pounds according to my app), and it just makes my day to see her moving. I'm now feeling her move a lot more while I'm out running errands. I thought walking around was supposed to put the baby to sleep, but not this little one.

Cravings: Ice. I really want ice.

Looking forward to: My ultrasound next Monday! I feel like it's been ages since I've seen her, and I just want to make sure she is growing on track and there are no concerns. And I can't wait to fit into my prepregnancy clothes. I feel like I have nothing in my closet to wear.
