Baby’s size: Pineapple, 16 inches and almost 3 pounds (wow- that's a real live serious baby in there!)
Total weight gain / loss: +32.6
Maternity clothes: Yes and the fit of a tshirt is becoming questionable - I can pull it off with a long undershirt but otherwise the underside of my belly shows ;)
Stretch marks: None yet, but I hear they really don't come until the veryyy end for a lot of women, so we'll see...
Sleep: Pretty good but it's getting harder to stay comfortable. I wake up often on my back which is a big no-no and have to roll back to an (uncomfortable) side... The back sleeping also leaves me very out of breath which really is not good for me or baby, but I don't know how to stop it when it just happens in my sleep!
Loving: People are SO nice when you're pregnant! Even strangers constantly want to say hi, ask how I'm doing, how I'm feeling, tell me I look great (or insinuate that I'm huge, but this is the "loving" section lol), open doors, offer to help carry things, etc. I can't lie, I thoroughly enjoy it!
Loathing: Any and all tasks that require movement or energy in any amount after I get home from work.
Missing: Being able to shave with ease and without huffing and puffing to reach over my stomach to get to my legs.
Movement: Baby loves to move... Was actually tickling me in the side repeatedly the other night while I was trying to go to sleep- I couldn't stop laughing while also growing increasingly annoyed and wanted to just go.to.sleep!
Cravings: Milk during workouts is really something everyone should try. Not sure why I never thought to do it before! ;)
Aversions: Not particularly that I can think of.
Labor signs: I *think* I might have had my first Braxton hicks contractions, but I'm not 100% sure.
Symptoms: The swelling has definitely increased, achy back and feet (especially feet), heartburn.
Exercise: Jog/walking (use of the word running would be a disservice to the word here) a few miles a week, yoga a couple times a week.
Belly button: Soooo close to popping!
Wedding rings: I finally had to give in and take it off yesterday. :( Got stuck on my swollen fingers at night and I took that as a sign that it needed to come off the next morning when the swelling went down.
Mood: Much better and more level than last week for sure!
Husband: if you thought mommas were the only ones who "nested" you haven't met my husband! That man has been going non-stop for the last month!
Can't wait for: My baby shower!!!
