Everett-isms and 32 weeks
I realized I had better get these written down before I forgot them. Some of the hilarious things Everett has said/pronounced recently.
Pinecones and/or popcorn = "pine-corn"
Grandpa = "gun-kuh"
Everett = "Ebit"
Christmas lights = "kit-mut iiiites!"
Penguin/snowman (he gets them confused) = "pingin" and "noman"
Candy = "candeeeeee!"
In the middle of dinner at a restaurant. Everett: "mama! naked! doctor!" Mama (in hushed voice): "yessss, I was naked at the doctor's today! shhh!"
Funny story to go with this one. I was at the doctor for baby's check up and wearing a paper sheet over my lap. As I talked with the doctor, Everett kept running up to me, ripping off a piece of the sheet, crumpling it, and throwing it in the garbage. Finally the doctor says, "I think I'd better go before he throws away the entire sheet."
Talking with nana. Everett: "nana? gum?" Nana: "no, I don't have gum." Everett: "in purse."
"Ebit! Eat! Chocolate!"
Everett: "Ewww! Poop! Snow! Doggy poop!" Mama: "No, that's not doggy poop, it's just mud." Everett: "doggy poop mud snow."
There are many more, but I can't remember them at the moment. He's full of hilarity right now and we're loving the 3 and 4 word sentences!
So on to the pregnancy update.
How far along? 32 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About 23-24 lbs.
How big is baby? This week baby weighs around 3.75 lbs - a jicama? You think that is a good comparison? Who has held a jicama? - and length is around 16.7 inches.
Maternity clothes? Yes, and I'm running out of options for long-sleeved shirts that cover my belly and don't stretch their side seams to bits.
Stretchmarks? Same.
Sleep? Got a new pillow! I got one of those memory foam types and so far, it's been nice. I've been almost sleeping through the night again. So now I've got the new pillow, plus a body pillow for between my legs, plus a regular pillow behind my back.....yeah....we need a king sized bed.
Best moment this week? Christmas was looong, but nice. Everett was so patient and well-behaved during present opening, he would have melted anyone's heart.
Movement? Yep...still crazy. I get hard jabs on the right and big stretches all over. Pretty sure the little guy is head down now so I'm pretty sure I'm getting kicked on the right all the time.
Food cravings? Warm drinks and water.
Bellybutton? No change.
Boy/Girl? boy
Labor signs? We're getting there. Body understands that we're getting much closer (but not close enough). We'll just leave it at that.
What I miss? My shirts fitting.
What I am looking forward to? Being done with work. I only worked two days last week and two days this week, but seriously....I am done. I have lost my drive and interest. I just want to go home and sleep.
Milestones: We're into the "gain a pound per week" time frame now and a lot of that weight is going to little dude in there. He's fattening up which smooths out the wrinkly skin, has finger/toenails, and hopefully some hair. Uterus is now officially big enough that I'm getting uncomfortable. Not looking forward to the whole feet in my ribs thing.

Christmas/Skiing Pictures
Alternately titled, the most pictures in a post EVER.
Cookie in mouth, present in hand, daddy laughing
New toothpaste and toothbrush!
BEEEEE!

Serious about tractors
He kept putting the bows on his head and saying "hat!" Silly boy....
Very excited about Christy's present

Mama and Daddy met up with the downhill bums at the top of a hill
Riding on Karla with Auntie Nell
31/32 week check-up
Sorry, still no christmas pictures here, but I'll fix that tonight or tomorrow.
Unrelated - Brian took Monday off and got to accompany Ev and me to our first bi-weekly check-up. We would have still been on the monthly schedule, but my getting sick, losing two pounds, and having dehydration contractions made me schedule a two-week check up (since a lot of people are doing those already at this point). Everything checked out just fine. Baby will be staying put for quite a while. I have a feeling it's going to be like with Ev though. I'm currently about 1.5 cm and 20% effaced and we still have nearly two months to go! Maybe we'll end up with a valentine's baby!
I am stuck at work this week, doing awesome work stuff. Ev is off with Nana today because day care is closed all week and he'll be spending tomorrow with auntie Christy. And I'll sit here, sporadically doing some work, eating some chocolate, and sipping some coffee. (At least until someone else from my office decides to show up.)
