8 months and 8 weeks to go...

I am so excited about little Miss Delaney Grace!!!  

I am now 8 months pregnant!  I am 32 weeks pregnant today.  I went to my doctors appointment this afternoon and Dr. Holladay actually said, "your weight looks PERFECT!!!"  That was exciting to hear considering I got served with a 1800 calorie diet when I was pregnant with Dylan.  I don't feel as big as I was with Dylan but then again I do have 8 more weeks to grow!!!  

Here are the latest pictures of my growing belly...

16 weeks!

26 weeks!

28 weeks!

31 weeks!

32 weeks!

Sorry that the pictures are not cute and set up in a cute way.  I am lucky to have pictures.  I feel like this go round I don't look my best like I did when I was pregnant with Dylan.  I think the old wives tale is true...little girls do take the mothers beauty away!  

A few facts...

Weeks:  32
Sleep:  I can sleep pretty well but I have been getting up to go to the bathroom once through the night.
Cravings:  I still want sweets.  Mostly chocolate and I have needed chocolate milk again.
Movement:  This little girl is a gymnast!  She moves all the time.  Usually I feel elbows and knees rolling into my sides!!
Belly Button:  This time it's more of an outie!  Last time, with Dylan, it just spread out with the rest of my belly!
Maternity Clothes:  Yes!  I had to begin wearing maternity pants for a while now...since about 15 weeks or so.  But I still wear non maternity shirts at times (if they are long and stretch).  The shirt in my 32 week picture isn't maternity but it works!
Weight Gain:  I only gained 3 pounds this past month which is great for me.  I still eat whatever I want...only this time I am chasing a 2 year old :)  Total weight gain so far is 24 pounds.  I gained 40 with Dylan so anything less than that is success!

I can't believe how much time has flown by with this pregnancy!  I only have 8 weeks left until my due date and at 38 weeks we get to see our Little Miss Priss on the big screen.  (Doctors have to check and make sure she's not too big like Dylan was)  

As I finish up this post I think of how lucky I am to be a mom!  I have a smart, handsome and outgoing little boy and soon I will have a beautiful, precious and wonderful little girl :)  I am blessed and thank God everyday for all the many blessings He has given me.
