32 weeks

32 wks LMP (30 wks gestation).
The baby weighs approximately 3.75 lbs or 1702 grams and is approximately 16.19 inches or 42.4 cm long.  At today's midwife appointment the baby measured 32 cm at 32 weeks which is great.  I am up a total of 45 pounds.  That is approximately what I gained in total with Hadley and the weight only comes on faster from this stage onward.  (OH DEAR).  
Protein in my urine showed a little so we are going to do some tests for that.   Lisa our backup midwife didn't seem to be at all worried just a precautionary measure.
My blood pressure was 98 over 58.
The fetus may hiccup, cry, taste sweet and sour, and respond to pain, light, and sound.
The baby's brain and nerves are developing directing bodily functions.  The volume of amniotic fluid begins to diminish.  Baby's bones get stronger, limbs get fatter, and skin takes on a healthy glow.

Is it too early to nest?  I really just want a clean house in every way these days but my body isn't allowing me to do all that my mind's TO DO list has planned for it.

I am wanting my house clean too- mess bothers me- but I am not thinking it is nesting on my part.
