How far along? 36 weeks - the countdown is on baby!
Total weight gain: Noneya. None ya business. The scale and I have decided to break up until I go into labor. So there!
Maternity clothes? Nothing is maternity in this photo this week. Wearing some comfy yoga pants from Target, a white tank also from Target, and a cardigan from Nordstrom BP. The belt I snagged off a dress in my closet that was from Forever 21.
Stretch marks? Ugh, I swear they keep popping up! Surprisingly, the ones on my hips seem to be fading slightly, but I keep finding new ones on my belly and legs. My tummy feels so tight these days so I guess it's really no surprise.
Best moment this week: My mom and I went to get our nails done and out to dinner on Wednesday evening which was very relaxing and much needed! The nail lady cut my big toenail a tad too short so it's been bugging me the last couple days but I'll survive. We had a yummy dinner together though so that made up for the nagging toe nail. I also helped out at the salon the last two days and even though it gives me major contractions, I enjoyed getting out and seeing all my old coworkers. Everyone commented on how big my belly is and how I look like I'm about to pop, which is always fun to hear... [not]. It makes me just that much more anxious for this kiddo to get out!
Miss anything? Putting on my shoes by myself, bending over, ya know.. The usuals. As excited and ready as I am for him to be here I do think I will really I'm going to miss this belly.
Lola really wanted in on the photo sesh today.
Movement: He's so pushy! I also feel lots of movement in my pelvis area. It's almost like he's digging his head in down there and it hurts like a mother. But I guess that's a good thing he's down there huh?
Food cravings: None, so boring!
Anything making you queasy or sick: My acid reflux makes me nearly sick on the daily. I decided to switch it up a bit today and instead of buying the usual Tums and Zantac I'm going to try out Rolaids and Pepcid AC. Oh the joys of a pregnant lady's life on a Friday night!
Gender: Boy
Symptoms: Acid reflux, sleepiness nights, leg pain (mostly at night or when sitting up straight too long), hip pain, oh just the usual aches and pains I suppose! No new symptoms really other than the increasing pelvic pain from his head. Also, lots more BH contractions.
Labor signs: Daily BH contractions. I'm also going to ask my midwife on Monday about the pelvic pain. I'm starting to wonder if I'll really be able to tell the difference between BH and real contractions. Time will tell
Belly button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy and anxious!
Looking forward to: The next four weeks flying by! [fingers crossed]
