32nd Week: Sweet Tooth, Shortness of Breath, Leg Cramps, Kick Countsand Staying Pretty

I have food cravings and sweet tooth!  and I just gave in!  This week, I bought four different types of chocolates, I crave for Ice Cream, Cakes and a cup of coffee.  I have a sip or two occasionally, bites here and there once a day or thrice a week just to satisfy my cravings.

I also began to experience shortness of breath since Ive realized, my baby has gone up to my chest squeezing my lungs to expand.  And every morning, my leg cramps has been part of me before I wake up, to relieve the cramps, I simply straightened my legs and Im good to go, thank God, back pain wasn't that bad for I've mastered lying on my side when I sleep. 

Ive started monitoring my baby's kick for two weeks now.  To do that, I have to drink a glass of water or milk before going to sleep, lie on my left side and count the kicks for an hour, if its four and more, there's no need panic.  Thank God, its more than that, with or without water intake.  I just wanna see my baby and see if he/shes okay and Im totally relieved.

I am probably few of many pregnant women who's having the best time of pregnancy ever since my skin doesn't change much at all.  When I had my first baby, my skin was dry thus prone to breakouts.  I am also using lotion for stretch mark right there on my navel although I dont have any yet, just a precaution.  And Im not sure if this is normal but my belly is pinkish than the rest of my other skin, its probably because it's tight and hard on that part.  I also notice frequent restroom breaks every now and then, its because my baby  is putting too much pressure on my bladder and I hate it.   The good thing, only my belly is getting bigger, the rest is still okay, although Im already anticipating few more pounds before I give birth which is perfectly normal.
