32 weeks (3/10 to 3/16)

Baby is the size of:  Squash
Weight Gain:  Dr. Scale on 3/12:  +30 (According to scale at home on 3/13: +24)
Sleep:  Mostly wonderful.  Sadie has decided a middle of the night potty break is much needed. I'm hoping that when the weather turns nice and we wear her out some more on walks she'll stop doing it!

Best moment:  Seeing baby on the ultrasound and finding out placenta is up and away from my cervix.
Worst moment:     The news I was dreading...I do have a bilobed placenta with velamentous cord insertion.  Meaning the placenta is in two hunks and the cord is inserted into the middle.

Warning:  The pictures you are about to see may be disturbing!  The pictures show the difference between a normal placenta and a bilobed placenta.

Source:  this blog I stumbled upon while researching info about the condition. 

Due to the cord insertion issue, I will now be having weekly appointments for NSTs (non stress tests).  Not looking forward to spending that much time in the hospital but whatever it takes to keep me and baby healthy I'll do it.
Food cravings/aversions:    I still have no clue these days!  I'm sort of over eating....
What I miss:   Warm weather!  This winter has been brutal!

What I’m looking forward to:   Celebrating Tavin's 2nd birthday!!
Goals:
  • Work out!  I suck at accomplishing this :(  Especially now that I've started my hypnobabies, there is just no time!
  • Prepare breakfast meals.  
  • Prepare lactation bars/cookies.  I really wish I could do this but our oven died and we haven't been able to bake anything for weeks.  We bought a new one this week so hopefully I can get started!  These will probably have to wait until after our kitchen remodel which is set to start the week of March 24.  Yay!

Bonus-pictures!! 

One from the ultrasound
The tech said that baby has a lot of hair!  You could even see the little spikes in the 2d images.

And the bump!
