Transition to Warmer Weather

I am loving the transition to Spring. Temperatures are supposed to be in the upper 80's today. Sadly, the main reason I'm looking forward to this change is... Dresses, skirts, and gauchos (ie very loose or no waistbands.) Oh how glorious that is. It feels great to have nothing constricting over the belly. I have three different-styled black jersey knit dresses. I better tell my co-workers to get used to them. They're just so comfortable, it feels like I'm wearing pajamas to work! I think having a May due date is the perfect time to be pregnant. You can wear big baggy clothes all winter when you're looking fat and not pregnant yet, but then when Spring rolls around, it doesn't get so hot that you're miserable. I like it. :)

Here in the last week or so I've been getting uncomfortable. There's nothing specific bothering me, just an overall inability to get comfortable. The only time I'm truly feeling comfortable is when I'm laying down. At least I only have 8 weeks to go! I can do it!

My itchiness has also made a resurgence. It had gotten down to a very manageable and even ignorable level, but in the last day or two it has just been miserable. Keeping me up for about an hour at night before I can fall asleep, etc. I'm still using my itch lotion every day - my body has probably built up a resistance to it! haha. 8 weeks to go. (See how I keep telling myself that??)

All in all, however, the third trimester, like the rest of the pregnancy, is just flying. Before I know it, it's another Friday. I'm still carrying the baby very high, hence my constant breathing problems! Lots of the girls at the baby shower guessed I'm carrying a boy because it's a perfect "basketball" out front, and not overall weight gain. I love the speculation! But then I hear that girls are carried high, boys low. So who knows. At 32 weeks (today) the baby weighs almost 4 pounds! He/she is getting so big!!! Grow little baby, grow! I'm supposed to be gaining a pound a week and I feel like it. I'm not looking forward to my doctor appointment on Monday, I think I'm going to have made up for lost time and my "0" weight gain at the last appointment.
