Sorry, Jason had to leave early for work so I was half awake :)
How Far Along: 32 Weeks
Size of baby: large jicama (about 3.75 pounds and 16.7 inches long). I wasnt sure what a jicama was so i looked it up - apparently it is a root vegetable. Here it is:
Gender: Boy!
Movement: I feel him throughout the day. I seem to feel him kick a lot more after I have had spicy food - which I like because then I know he is doing okay in there.
Sleep: I get up a couple times a night for the bathroom
What I miss: A good workout. Now-a-days I get winded coming up the stairs.
Cravings: I still crave fruit and sweets but I make sure and have protien with every meal.

Symptoms: Frequent bathroom breaks, still breaking out, swelling of my hands and feet, backaches, and my newest symptom is symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD).
Per Babycenter.com, the two halves of your pelvis are connected at the front by a stiff joint called symphysis pubis. This joint is strengthened by a dense network of ligaments. To help your baby pass through your pelvis, your body produces a hormone called relaxin. Relaxin softens your ligaments. As a result, your pelvic joints move more during and just after pregnancy, causing inflammation and pain.
I only notice this when I try and go for walks. I can barely make 1/2 of a mile before I start to feel pains in my pelvis. My doctor just said to listen to my body and not to push it too hard. Its just so frustrating because the weather is just starting to get nice again!
Best Moment this week: So, I think I have said this in an earlier post but my belly button sticks out a little now. It isnt all the way out but its definately a little nubbin. However, Jason and I just discovered that when I laugh it sticks out even further! Its pops in and out every time I have a good laugh - which makes me laugh even harder. We think it is pretty funny so I thought I would classify this as the best moment of the week :).
