32 weeks

Here I am at 32 weeks and I still have 8 more weeks to go!!

Do I look huge or what!

Some things that have occurred in the past month:

• We began birthing classes. I thought the classes would be scary. All about pushing watermelons out of your vagina and ripping and tearing and watching videos about that. But in reality, the classes have been very educational and even, might I say, empowering! I now feel more confident about giving birth! We also got a tour of the maternity ward. The very same maternity ward that my sister and I were born in!
• I also took a breastfeeding class and wow! so many things about boobs I never knew before! And seriously, breastfeeding, after learning all about it, seems like it is very instinctual for baby and mom and very ANIMAL!
• And finally, yes, I have gained 40 pounds through this whole pregnancy thus far, which is over the recommended weight gain. My doctor though, doesn't seem that concerned. He says I'm carrying the weight well. I am not swollen, don't have gestational diabetes and my blood pressure is low. I am still walking around, going to my yoga classes, etc. The one thing the doctor advised though, was PORTION CONTROL! I'm really working on that one!
