Holy cow! I look so much more pregnant than I think I do! I don't feel like I have a belly at all hardly until I look at things like this.
Total weight gain/loss: I am still at 7 pounds gained since I got pregnant. I'm really grateful I didn't gain like 100 pounds like I was scared I would, but since I am still technically considered to be low weight gain we are having an ultrasound next week to just make sure that the baby isn't too small. My doctor isn't at all worried, he says that all my other measurements are either perfect or actually measuring a little big, but he wants to make sure. I'm so excited to get to see our baby again!
Maternity clothes? I bought a super cute dress this week, but I haven't gotten very many, I've mostly just been making my normal wardrobe work and it's being doing quite nicely.
Stretch marks? sadly yes.
Sleep: It really just depends on the night. Some nights I'm asleep for 6 hours before I have to get up and go to the bathroom and so I sleep great, other nights I'm up every two hours all night long and want to scream by the time it's morning.
Best moment this week: We took a prenatal class this week. That was really great. I think it made Colton even more excited for everything since now he kind of has an idea of what to expect. It's so fun to see him so happy about the idea of bonding with and getting to hold his little girl. We also took some maternity pictures, and put a lot of the finishing touches on our nursery. We are almost ready for this little angel to come.
Miss anything? I miss being able to walk without feeling pain. I'm having a lot of ligament pain for some reason this week when I try to walk a ton.
Movement: All the time. We found out at my last appointment that she is actually sitting really low already, which is good, except that she hasn't actually dropped yet so now shes up in my ribs and crushing my pelvis at the same time. I have a feeling that she's going to be a really long baby.
Food cravings: Junk food. I just want greasy junk food all the time. It's been hard to refrain.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I've started having some braxton hicks (I apparently was before but I didn't know it) and they make me kinda feel a little sick but other than that, not really too much.
Have you started to show yet: Most definitely.
Gender: GIRL!!!
Labor signs: Just braxton hicks. I get checked at my next appointment to see if I am progressing at all yet. If I am I won't be cleared to travel for christmas so Colton and I will get to just celebrate our own instead. That will be kind of interesting.
Bell button in or out? in, and it had better stay that way!
Wedding rings on or off? Sadly off.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. I have bad days sure, who doesn't but unless I'm not feeling good then I am generally happy.
Looking forward to: Getting an ultrasound next week, also being done with finals and going out to dinner with Colton to celebrate the fact that we survived another semester.
Baby is the size of a coconut!
She's about 17.2 - 18.7 inches. From here on out, she won't get much longer, but she's plumping up.
She's now about 4.2 - 5.8lbs, and she'll put on a pound or more of baby fat before birth.
Her hearing is fully developed, and she responds best to high-pitched noises!
