32 Weeks

32 weeks in and 8 (or 9) more to go.  Everything seems to be going well.  Yesterday was my 32 week appointment and the heartbeat was ranging from the 130-140's.  This little boy is telling me each day that he wants to play soccer as soon as he gets out.  I'll refrain from passing along my weight gain and actual weight.  Let's just say that it is about the same that it was with Tucker and Paislee so we are guessing another 9-10 lb baby is on its way.  At this stage of the game, we aren't sure what we'd do with 7 pound baby.  Plus, ours always stay in and bakes extra long so that is another reason they are so big.  As long as he comes out healthy we really don't care.  Heartburn seems to be the one factor that is hard to control these days.  The heartburn maybe a result of my summertime diet of tomatoes, maybe I should change that:-)  We think we have a name settled on but won't be sharing that yet.  (If we have slipped and you have heard the name please be quiet.)  As with the other kids we try to incorporate our parents names into our kids names.  This time is my dad's turn.  His name is David Benjamin and since David is used for two of my nephews we'll probably lean more toward Benjamin for a middle name.  The kids continue to be super excited about his arrival.  Each evening (during #4's active time) they all sit on my lap and around me and poke at him and watch my belly move.  I love that they love doing this.  They are just as excited as we are to meet this new addition.  Paislee is ready for her personal little baby doll.  November 3 is still the due date but according to the trend in the last three deliveries I am predicting an October 30 delivery....maybe mama's intuition or maybe just wishful thinking:-).  Either way, he will come when he wants.

(Sorry for the bad picture.  I'm not one for pictures, let alone pregnant pictures.)
