Updates? I had my 32 week doctors appointment yesterday which went really well. I was kind of nervous that my iron had not gone up... but it did! A whole 2 points! It's only a point away from the normal range now! Praise the Lord! I guess eating all that red meat (eww!) and taking those iron supplements really helped! Finally! My midwife said that Ellison is head down which is great! She doesn't have to be until around 36 weeks, so she could still move around but it was still nice to hear!
Overall, I am feeling pretty good. I just hate that I don't have a ton of energy to go walk around a store like I used to. It starts feeling like she might just come on out - she MUST be a big baby! HA! SO heavy. Oh well - it will be all worth it once she is here.
I was planning on taking a chalkboard pic, which I still might.. but for now here is a pic from about a week ago... might change it later so I have the signature chalkboard pic for my collection! :)
How far along? 32 Weeks
Maternity clothes? Same - maternity pants and mostly maternity shirts or regular flowy shirts I have had.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Now I just have to get up and pee 2-3 times a night which gets kind of annoying haha!
Best moment this week: Finding out my iron went up! Hearing Ella's heartbeat too... never gets old! :)
Have you told family and friends: Yes! Feels like forever ago...
Miss Anything? Being able to walk around Target without feeling the need to sit down and rest... soon enough I will have her in a stroller walking around Target with me! EEK!

Movement: Yes! She mostly rolls around and pokes her booty out. Some days she will kick me in the ribs which is just lovely... but I mostly feel her just moving around big movements. I found out my placenta is located on the anterior so that means it's like on the outside, not the left or the right... so that is why I don't feel her as much as some people who don't have the placenta blocking some of her movements... so interesting!
Food cravings: Hungry for anything! I feel like I am hungry all the time!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really!
Have you started to show yet: Um, is this even a legit question at this stage in the game? :)
Gender: Girly girl!
Labor Signs: No way - Praise the Lord!
Belly Button in or out? Out... Even shows in pictures now! Ahh!
Wedding rings on or off?
Having to wear a fake ring I have because it is a thinner band and
doesn't cause my skin to break out like my actual wedding ring... so

Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy most of the time!
Weekly Wisdom: Eat lots of red meat so you don't have low iron! :)
Looking forward to: Mine and Jolynn's joint baby shower this Saturday thrown by our small group... It will be super sweet! Love our church family!
