Baby Brookshire Update - Pregnancy at 32 weeks

I am now 32 weeks along. Baby is now head down and the fetal heartbeat is at 140bpm. Strong and healthy! My weight gain is at about 18 pounds and the baby's measurements are right on target. The doctor's have no concerns about this pregnancy at all.
My belly is getting bigger although women on the street love to tell me how small I am or how I am way too small. All I know is the doctors are saying all my stats are perfect, so I stick with that.
Bella moves all the time now and like to remind me when I am slouching with a nice strong kick! Sean can feel her moving now and I often spend time sitting on the couch or laying in bed watching my belly move. I have even had coworkers notice as my belly leaps and lurches during meetings, so I guess I can't be that small ... ha!
Anyway, that's really all the news I have for now. Doctor appointments are every two weeks for the next month and then I go in every week. We're in the homestretch with just 8 weeks left!
