Total weight gain: Oh geez, do you really want to know? Ok.. I'm up 22lbs total. Fun stuff I tell ya.
Maternity clothes? I'm still fitting into a lot of my regular tops but maternity jeans are a definite must. I wouldn't dare squeeze into a pair of my pre-prego jeans.
Stretch marks? Just the one I found last week on my hip... I'm full anticipating finding more but so far we are in the clear (almost).
Best moment this week: We found out my sister-in-law is pregnant!! Yay! I am so excited for her. She is due end of August which means our little ones will be just about 4 months apart. Such an exciting time and I am so glad that T will have a cousin close in age. Most of my cousins are way older than me, I only have 2 that are close in age but we lived far apart during childhood so didn't get to spend much time together. My SIL lives just a few miles from us so I am sure there will be many play dates in our futures!
Miss anything? Normal sleep and being able to go a day without heartburn. Those are my only wishes. Sleep has been difficult because I just can't seem to get comfortable. I have a body pillow, as I've mentioned before (I think.. darn pregnancy brain!), but it doesn't seem to help very much. My hips kill me at night and I'm constantly switching sides to alleviate the pain. I'm lucky though that I don't have to get up at a certain time in the morning so I can usually get a decent number of z's.
Movement: Yep, lots! It's been fun this week to watch him move... I've really started to notice a lot of his movements from the outside and it's a crazy sight to see. I keep trying to guess which body part I am seeing but it's so hard to tell! I wish I could just peek inside and see what he is up to.
Food cravings: No cravings per say, but I have been loving bananas and peanut butter. Oh Em Gee!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: Boy!
Labor signs: None
Symptoms: Heartburn & Hip Pain = Fun Stuff!
Belly button in or out? Outie
Wedding rings on or off? On! I keep checking my fingers to see when I might need to take them off but so far, so good. I never take my rings off so if that time comes it will be really hard for me! I will definitely feel naked.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy most of the time. I had a few moments of stress this week in which I just felt a little cooky but overall I've been happy. Still loving pregnancy!
Looking forward to: No big plans this coming week. However, the following week we have our first appointment with our new midwives and I'm really looking forward to that. Although, I have to take my glucose test that same morning and I've heard that is just no fun at all. So not really looking forward to that part but the rest will be exciting. And hey, only 13 more weeks until this little guy makes his big debut! Can't wait to meet you baby T!
Oh, and Go Hawks!
my little girl and my nephew are just 3 months apart in age. and it's lovely that she get's to play with her cousin at nursery, I think they'll both grow up being very close
