Little Kong: 32 Weeks

Ok so I'm behind again, as of Sunday I am 32 weeks preggers!!! Finally 8 months and the countdown is on as far as I'm concerned! Its been a pretty hectic 2 weeks......last Sunday when I was 31 weeks I had my baby shower (which is why I forgot all about posting that day) and boy was it hot outside. Despite the heat it was a perfect morning brunch spent with good food, friends, and family :) Baby Kong already has a closet full of clothes and he's not even here yet!! Not to mention everything that needs to get folded and put into the dresser. Nursery is getting closer to being done, Johnny finished the hardwood flooring in the closet area, put up the trim, and I found an area rug that is perfect for the room. Picked up the rocker from mom and dad's and the dresser from grandma's.....we have decided to use pieces of furniture that have been in the family for the baby's furniture. The rocker was given to my mom from my grandparent's when they found out that she was pregnant with me, I have many fond memories of that rocker growing up. The dresser that was my mother's as a child growing up will be the dresser/changing table for the baby. I just love that these pieces have sentimental value and are able to be passed down like this. I wouldn't have it any other way.
So things that have gotten worse....HEARTBURN......not fun! I finally broke down today and bought some tums on my way home from work. I hate taking them mostly because of the chalky texture but chugging milk every night and attempting to sleep upright was not doing it for me anymore. Also interestingly enough while I was looking at all of the different flavors of tums at the store I somehow managed to pinch a nerve in between my shoulder blades!!! You've got to be kidding me, right???!!! So now I've got this pain right in my upper back that hinders me from moving in certain directions (work should be so much fun tomorrow) and Johnny somehow seems to think that laying next to me while massaging (and not even looking at what he's massaging) is just as efficient.....hmmmmm. No wonder I got a gift certificate to a spa for massages from him for my shower.....he HATES giving massages, always complains his fingers hurt hehe.
The weather all last week and so far this week as well has been really hot and I'm now understanding what women mean when they say having a summer baby is tough because the heat affects you that much more when you're pregnant. I feel disgusting all day long and so uncomfortable when I'm hot. Today was so humid which makes it even worse. At one point I went upstairs to my brother's office and just sat in front of his window AC until I was cool enough to go back into the kitchen, it felt SO good!
Baby is moving around like crazy, I'm convinced he doesn't sleep. I can tell he's running out of space in there because I'm starting to feel movement in the same places over and over. Apparently he is approximately 19 inches long this week, so really only a couple more to go. About 4lbs or a little over in weight. According to my baby books, he is just fattening up at this point, his skin is no longer translucent and actually looks like ours now. I wonder if he'll suck his thumb, I guess he's been able to suck now for a little while. My brother sucked his thumb for the longest time and boy was that a hard habit for my parent's to break!
Oh one other thing, Johnny and I had a wedding to go to over the weekend and all I can say is that weddings are NO FUN when pregnant! I basically sat at a table by myself all night while Johnny was off having a good time. Oh but I did have a girl talking my face off about having a baby and everything I should expect for a good portion of the night............JOY!!!!

I don't have a ton of pictures from my baby shower, if you can believe it we forgot to pose for pictures!!! I'm so mad at myself for that. So I've posted some of what I do have.
My pic of the week:

32 Weeks in nursery which is not yet complete

How many weeks? 32, 19 inches long or longer
Baby is the size of : Over 4lbs in weight
How am I feeling: My back hurts now and my hip joints are sore at times still, I've not pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve in my upper back right between my shoulder blades (don't even ask me how this happens!!) Also battling heartburn....yuk!!
Can't eat: starting to realize what gives me heartburn now, no spicy things :(
Energy level: definitely Energy level is surprisingly high I have to say, I think I'm doing pretty well
Maternity Clothes? Wishing I had some maternity shorts but refuse to go buy anything else at this point, I'm like a month and a half away so it seems pointless to buy more maternity clothes right now.
Movement: Tons of movement but its starting to seem to be in the same general areas which is s sure sign that little man is running out of room inside my tummy :)
Looking forward to: having the nursery complete and ready my baby Kong's arrival, hopefully will finish up this weekend.

Some more random picks from last weekend when family was in town for my shower:
