How far along? 34 weeks, 2 days
Total weight gain: 14 lbs.Maternity clothes? Yep…trying my best to not buy many more things though since we only have 6 weeks left!
Stretch marks? Nope! My belly hasn't been as itchy as it was a couple weeks ago, so that's been a huge plus!
Sleep: Sleep has been off and on. I sleep great some nights, other nights I toss and turn. 2 nights ago I had a really hard time sleeping because my mind was racing on all things baby. That was the first time I've had an issue with that, so I'm hoping that was a one time thing.
Best moment this week: Getting the crib put together!
Miss Anything? Not really. I'm just enjoying all of the things that come along with being pregnant & soaking up this special time!
Movement: Constant and powerful! I LOVE feeling him kick, especially when he's all over the place and making my belly look misshapen, it's so funny. Some times his kicks and rolls are so powerful that they really catch me off guard, but it makes me laugh!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular, although juicy fruit hits the spot on a consistent basis.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No. Nate & I went down to Indy for our nephew & nieces bday party and we stopped at "Big Boss's Bar-B-Que" on the way to get some lunch and it gave us both terrible heartburn. I've NEVER had heartburn in my life…and considering how awful the Tums were, I'm praying I never have it again.
Gender: boy!!!
Labor Signs: Not yet!
Symptoms: Just your usual "can't bend over as easy" issue. Apparently I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions too--I just didn't realize it. I felt my belly get really tight for just a short period of time but it never hurt, so I figured it was just Jacoby. My Dr said that's Braxton Hicks contractions and that they sound completely normal :)Belly Button in or out? I think I have to officially say "out" now. It's not completely out and you can only see it popping out of my shirt if my shirt is really tight or if you're looking for it, but it's definitely not all the way in anymore :)
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! A little overwhelmed thinking that in 6 short weeks Nate & I are going to be parents to this wonderful baby who we are in charge of raising to be a decent human being, teaching them to love the Lord, etc. You know-- just a small responsibility ;)
I've also realized that I have become the checklist queen. I always use lists, but there's an abundance of them right now. It helps my mind stay on track. Nate just smiles when he sees another list I have made, but I try to remind him that it makes our lives more simple & prepared…and keeps this momma happy :)
Looking forward to: Moving the furniture into his room and really starting to get his room together. Nate has been working so incredibly hard on the last paint touchups, etc. I am SO thankful for him! I also have another baby shower on Sunday, so I'm really looking forward to that as well!
xox,
