8 weeks away!

How far along? 32 weeks...almost to 33! eek
Total weight gain/loss: scale is working and i am happy to say i have slowed down on the weight gain. 
Maternity clothes? just bought another dress from thrift usa..for the shower on the 15th. other than that i have been wearing all the same clothes over and over. at least i have an excuse. 
Stretch marks? so far so good but i am getting "the line" down my belly so i wonder if stretchies are around the corner. 
Sleep: oh sleep...week 31 was a rough sleeping week, but have since gotten better. however i still go in and out of the following: getting up twice a night to pee, my hips hurt, my arms fall asleep,my knees, hips and pelvic bone pop, turning over is a small feat, and i am stiff when i get up. 
Best moment this week:  since my last post there have been several great moments in the life of this preggy. Chester/Family baby shower which was wonderful, spending quality time with Josh, touching moments at Camp this past week and Josh felt the baby kick/move on his back while laying in bed this morning. 
Have you told family and friends: hard to miss me.
Miss Anything? the past few weeks i have missed good sleep wear my body doesn't hurt, bending over without having to think about it, moving quickly, and not having to pee every ten minutes. 
Movement: starting to be able to distinguish Baby butt and back, and the kicks are turning into elbow and knee swipes. 
Food cravings: slowly getting back to thinking or seeing something and really wanting it. craved cinnamon rolls (made those saturday morning), wanted a Sunkist yesterday but didn't get it, but will soon. cheeseburgers.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: there was an incident with the toilet at camp and i dry heaved about 4 times. truly had to swoop in to save the day but turns out i wasn't over reacting , it really was THAT bad. as far of "getting sick" none of that, but i do have a cold and its not fun. should be at the end of it but we shall see. 
Have you started to show yet: baby will be about 4 1/4 lbs by the weeks end. giant belly. sometimes i am pretty sure there are two Babes in there. 
Gender prediction: i havent really been thinking about it.  
Labor Signs: none at this time but i am assuming some braxton hicks will show up within the next few weeks.
Belly Button in or out? still in but an outty may emerged by week 38...
Wedding rings on or off? off, and this saddens me more than anything. the swelling and heat of summer have won and i finally had to accept that my rings would not be on until after the wee one is here. i will be wearing them around my neck on Baby's birth day. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: pretty happy, minus this cold making me a little sad.  
Weekly Wisdom: God's timing is perfect. Enjoying alone time with Josh is priority and going out (when not feeling sick) is important before Baby arrives. 
Looking forward to: Baby's room is coming together slowly, but surely, i am looking forward to getting that completed. Baby Shower number two and the Baby Nowell party are just around the corner and I am excited for those friend filled events.
