32 weeks....OH, SHAMU!!!

I'm now 32 weeks along! This past week has been a little rough. I've had a lot of soreness and aches and pains everywhere, that the doctor attributes to my body preparing for the big day. Apparently your body produces large amounts of "Relaxin" (a hormone) the closer you get to your due date, which in turn causes your ligaments and bones to stretch. This has been the biggest complaint I have had with my pregnancy thus far! Sleeping is getting tougher, but we're trying some new tricks with the bed, so we'll see if that helps. This past weekend we went to a Twins game with a friend from high school and had a good time out with some other friends of ours from the cities. It was a nice night away from Duluth with great company! We are in the midst of closing up shop in Minnesota in preparation for our move to Mississippi NEXT FRIDAY! We are getting very excited to see some consistent warm temperatures! As I type this, it is about 35 degrees with a windchill in the twenties.....on April 20th! I had another appointment today, and things are still going smoothly. My belly is 32 cm and Shooter's heart rate is about 150, which is good. He has developed a bit of a routine in my belly, with consistent times of movement and rest. I've been walking daily outside now, when the weather permits, and it really seems to help the achiness in my body. We go back to the doctor for the last time here in Duluth next week, so I'll update the blog again next week before we move.
