32 weeks!

Yay!!  32 weeks!!  8 months!!  woot woot!!

Baby Remme is around 3.75 lbs the size of a large jicama...don't ask me what that is...too bad a lot of these comparisons have to do with healthy foods.  I would know what they were talking about if they compared his size to things like a bag of chips or candy bars.  To accommodate his growing needs my stomach is getting a tad bit squished.  So this week, TUMS, have become my best friend.  I didn't ever have heartburn before being pregnant...propping myself up while sleeping and eating smaller meals is what I have resorted to, oh and popping TUMS like candy.  

I went in on Monday for my 32 week appointment.  Everything looked and sounded great, I am measuring right at 32.  I love the midwives that are delivering our little guy...I swear I laugh during my whole appointment.  They make it so relaxed and comfortable.  It is also nice that I work with them as well.  Oh and just to let everyone know...The midwife group (there are 3 of them) that I am delivering with only deliver in the hospital...no home birth for me...that would be a little odd/scary.  So when I talk about midwives, they are pretty much like an OB Dr.  except they have a nursing background and while I am laboring they will be with me frequently, as opposed to just coming in to catch the baby.  The nice thing is...there is an in-house OB Dr that is available if I were to need a stat c section etc.  I have just learned since working on our floor that the midwives seem to be a little bit more patient.  
I am loving my 12 hr shifts...the looooong stretches off are fabulous.  I haven't worked since last Wednesday :)  My aunt Judie and Penny came up with my cousins, Teagan, Kayli, Brittney and David to swim at our pool.  As soon as Kayli got here she asked, "has the baby gotten out yet?"  Wednesday Josh, Lily and I drove down to Bloomington to celebrate my brother Brandon's 23rd birthday.  My Grandma and Grandpa Thompson were both there as well.  I ate waaaay too much and that may have been the reason why I spent the whole night with heartburn.  This whole week I have been deep cleaning closets, drawers, cupboards, bathrooms etc.  Nesting?!  Hmmm I may be getting ready for this little one to arrive, because as all of you know...I am not the cleaning type :)
