32 weeks!

Yay another nice round number- I'm so OCD it's annoying but 32 weeks means only 8 weeks until my duedate- 2 MONTHS! woooohoooo! it feels real and it's getting close!

So after last week's pain my midwife was really convinced I had a bladder infection... well, my test results showed that I didn't (it took forever because they had to grow the bacteria).
So then what was causing my extreme pain when I walk? Their answer was probably SPD- Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction- where the pubic bones have instability and cause a lot of pain. Since I'm used to having back and hip pains- I'm not surprised and once I read about it, it sounds like what I have. They don't bother proving it (that would require an x-ray which is more dangerous) and there isn't much you can do for SPD except the maternity belt (already have), Chiro and Physical Therapy and not walking as much. I went to the chiro this morning and I'm excited that I can actually move right now! Weekends I can lay in bed a lot but the weekdays- not so much.

teaching is getting really difficult so I have moved my maternity leave up a week- March 16th is my last day of work now (WOOHOO only 5 more weeks!). I'm also only working 4 day weeks so I'll be taking it easy once a week but realistically trying to fit appointments in so I'm not so busy after long days of work.

32 week stats- I'm going to bring it up with my midwife on Wednesday but I'm a little concerned my belly hasn't grown much in the past month. I feel like it should've. I know the baby changed position - i think it's spine is out now since I feel kicks but don't see them as much and I think it's head is farther down but still, I think my uterus should've grown a little. We'll see what she says but I know I need to eat more- probably back to my daily smoothies for protein. I hate how by the time I get home from work I am so exhausted and in so much pain I'm nauseaus and not hungry. I need to get that appetite back. Dave jokes that I only eat on the weekends but really it's not that far from the truth. I even lost more weight this week :(
