Total weight gain: I forgot to weigh myself this morning but I'm going to guess about 21-22lbs total. I will make sure to get an accurate number for next week though!
Maternity clothes? It varies, not everyday. This isn't a maternity shirt or tank top but the pants are maternity. Jeans from Motherhood Maternity and top is Target.
Stretch marks? Oh my lanta, I found my first stretch mark this week! Surprisingly, I wasn't as freaked out by it as I thought I would be. I totally expected a full on panic attack but it never came. I was actually kind of proud of my little stretch mark. It's like a battle wound I can proudly wear in remembrance of carrying my baby boy. Anywhoo, it's a small one on my hip. I know it's still early and I will likely get more, but I'm glad I'm over the vanity of it and simply just proud of my growing belly & baby boy!
Best moment this week: I posted on this earlier in the week, but we fired our OB and will now be seeing a midwife, which I'm very excited about. We got to tour the birthing center this week and get an idea of how everything would go. It is such a huge relief!
Miss anything? Not really. To be totally honest I'm really enjoying being pregnant! I have felt great so far and really don't have any complaints. I feel so fortunate!
Movement: Lots! He is one active little boy. I had a massage on Thursday and he kicked almost the entire time! It was so hard not to laugh. He's a goofy one!
Food cravings: None this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Gender: Boy!
Labor signs: No
Symptoms: My heartburn is actually getting better. Our birthing coach gave me some very helpful tips on what to do when I get heartburn... like eating almonds! Who knew!? And it worked!
Belly button in or out? Out!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: I've been in much better spirits this week after all the stress of the hernia and OB situation is over with. I'm feeling great!
Looking forward to: The Super Bowl is next Sunday - Go Hawks! Also, very excited to get back into my acupuncture sessions this week. I was going weekly in the beginning of my pregnancy and then it started happening less and less due to holidays and schedule conflicts. So I'm really excited to get back, I feel like I'm having withdrawals!
