I feel like we’re definitely on the “home stretch” now towards meeting our baby girl! She could be here anywhere from six to ten weeks from now, so that is very exciting. I’m guessing she’ll be here towards the later end of that spectrum, since Vera was so “late” and because I’m against unnecessary induction.
I feel somewhat depleted of energy lately, but I think that’s party due to how busy I’ve been with Christmas preparations, parties, baking, and gift-making. In the mornings when I wake up I often feel like I’ve been hit by a truck… not the best way to start the day! Hopefully I’ll be able to rest up some in January to prepare for labor!
I experienced excruciating back pain last night (I woke up crying around midnight from the pain so Tad went and got me some Tylenol PM, which I almost never take). It could have been from sitting on the floor wrapping presents or from poor posture at my desk, but I think maybe Mango was pushing on a nerve or something. It feels fine this morning!
Mango is a busy girl just like her sister, and because of how the placenta is positioned this time (at the top of the womb, under my ribs), I can feel her limb movements more than I could with Vera. It’s fun to “see” a little elbow/knee poking out now and then! She’s actually moving now as I type this. 
I haven’t yet:
-packed a single thing for the hospital
-purchased any necessary baby things (newborn disposable diapers, disposable nursing pads, etc.)
-made any meals for the freezer
-gotten the nursery ready for two
But I still have plenty of time, right?
Week thirty-two with Vera.
ooo yea she prob was hitting a nerve
– not cool.
wish I were there in person!
who knows you may go early this time ;-D you just never know. Each baby is so different. Looking forward to seeing her
You look great! I’ve been waking up feeling like that this week – I think it’s all the Christmas busyness…at least I’m hoping so!
I always count on being late too, so I won’t be too antsy when my due date comes and goes. 
You look so lovely! Praying no more of that awful back pain! Praying Jan is much more restful! Love you four- grammy
Back pain is tough… I had back pain and pains that shot down my legs! And each time it was poor posture … so sometimes it’s a “simple” fix.
Wow! 32 weeks:) very cool:)
It wille be funt o see if this little one is “late” too… all mine cam at different times;) From just a few days early to 10 days early (caught us all off guard!) to being over a week late then induced (which was the best thing for her since our worries were justified!).
Enjoy all those baby movements… one of the best things about being pregnant;)
