Total weight gain: about 20lbs.. These numbers freak me out but doc says all looks good so I'm going with it!
Maternity clothes? Yes often! However this outfit isn't maternity at all. The top is from Forever 21 and leggings from Target. Love the tie on this shirt to accentuate the bump but I probably won't be able to wear this much longer because the front will start to show off my belly. Very comfy though! And the leggings I just wear below my belly, pretty comfortable as well.
Stretch marks? none yet! Been super itchy though so making sure to lather up with lotion
Best moment this week: This week was pretty chill. My favorite moments are always when I'm home with my little family & baby T kicks up a storm. I love it when Vince talks to him, such a sweet feeling.
Miss anything? Normal sleep... I guess I kissed that goodbye months ago though
Movement: TONS! Sometimes it's alarming how much! And it's crazy to see from the outside, he's definitely a strong boy!
Food cravings: Cadbury cream eggs were my "craving" this week... I put those in quotes because I wouldn't say I've had any true cravings. When I think of cravings I think of the 'omg I need this now and can't live without it'. I've never had any of those, just a few moments of 'ooh that sounds GOOD!'
Anything making you queasy or sick: Certain smells bother me. Namely, the smell of dying flowers (seriously..). I bought flowers a few days ago and no joke, the second day they started to smell gross. Anyway, made me a little queasy but I lived.
Gender: Boy!
Labor signs: Nope
Symptoms: Heartburn and hip pain. The hip pain is usually only when I'm sleeping. Since I have to sleep on my back it just kills my hips. But I'm surviving! I also found out this week that I have an umbilical hernia :( we meet with a hernia surgeon on Monday to get more information and I will update then.
Belly button in or out? Outie!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: Honestly I've been a little moody this week with all the stress of this hernia situation. Vince hs been so sweet and trying to be helpful but unfortunately my hormones haven't been so kind. I'm working on it though. He does a great job at cheering me up which I really appreciate (even though I may not always show it),
Looking forward to: I have finally talked Vince in to the possibility of birthing at a Birthing Center with a midwife opposed to at the hospital with an OB. I have many reasons for wanting this and may even dedicate a whole post to it eventually. So I am excited to meet with some midwives this week and see where that leads us. Fingers crossed!
I have a couple friends who went the midwife route and loved the experience!! Good luck with your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh my goodness, you and I are so close with our baby boys, just a week apart! I am going to have so much fun following the rest of your pregnancy! :-) I'm having the itchy skin thing right now too and it's driving me crazy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Sarah! It will be so fun to follow each other, and to see which of our boys decide to come first! :)
