| Since I didn't take an official progress pic yesterday, I'm going to use this super flattering photo Scott took of me last night after dinner using the whole "Hey Honey!" surprise photo method. Nice guy right? Anyway, am I the only one that forgets when they have a kiddie crown or hat on? |
Total weight gain: So the scale says 8 pounds, which is 2 pounds down from last week...either the scale LIES or I've actually lost weight since cutting back on the 24/7 carb fest now that my morning sickness has abated. I'm thinking the scale lies. My mind is trying not to go to "OMG the baby is shrinking!!!"
How big is the baby?: Better be 7 ounces and 5 1/2 inches long...about the size of a bell pepper.
Maternity
clothes:Yes please!!
Stretch
marks?: No new ones yet, but I just started the belly butter routine.
Sleep: Ack. I'm back to peeing 4-5 times a night.
Best
moment this week: Finding out I probably get to keep my OB for the delivery...it's like a freakin' miracle. Things like this don't happen to me....lately.
Movement: Feeling some flutters, primarliy at night and when I first wake up.
Food
cravings: Granola, soft serve ice-cream, milk, margaritas (!), SWEETS!
Food aversions: I have actually worked my way back into the kitchen which pleases the crap out of me...I feel more and more like my normal food lovin' self again.
Labor
signs: No! But some Braxton Hicks-like tightening....I actually kinda like the feeling...more proof there is really something going on in there!
Belly
button in or out: In. I was telling Mel today I think it's gonna stay in like last time.
What I
miss: I missed cocktails like crazy this weekend....
I've always loved that shirt on you. A perfect maternity shirt too! You're lucky, Mark caught me in the shower trying out the new camera. :| Evil.
ReplyDeleteMy belly seems small, and I've thought "Is she going to be a little person?" lol. We always have to let our minds wander, don't we?
You're going to kill me, but I don't get up once to pee after I fall asleep.
I don't know what Braxton Hicks feel like, but I read on a blog that sometimes they can make you feel nauseated and like a rolling sensation, maybe I am having these? I figured she was moving, but for a few moments I'll feel really sick to my stomach while there is a sensation in the ute.
I'm a little jealous that your 24/7 carb load has stopped. I still can't stop. I'm up 20 pounds and I've got 3 more months to go!
Ok Mel, I'm intrigued by this new camera in the shower thing...is it waterproof? OMG, I just now got it...I thought when I first read it that you were trying out the camera in the shower and he caught you using it HAHAHAHA! Oh I would Keeee-ILL Scott if he did that!!! Bad Mark!
DeleteTo me Braxton Hicks feel like a tightening sensation, almost how an Indian Burn would feel if it were painless....if that makes any sense. Is anyone with me on this? No nausea for me or rolling, but it can go in waves across my belly, like phases....maybe that's what they mean by rolling. For me they aren't painful either like real contraction are.
I'm not gonna kill you about the bedtime peeing, but can you feel my steely glare? ;-)
Also, I was back up to 10 pounds the next day...stupid scale.
I just love this post, picture and all!!!! And yes I have been known to were crowns, hats, stickers, sparkly necklace and baby spit up out in public! When discovered I just pretend I am just that really cool mom who indulges her children and could careless! Really I'm mortified except for the spit up that I'm totally cool with!
ReplyDeleteGo Lenette! You are the cool mom!! Oh spit up...I am praying so hard that the next baby isn't a spittin' up fool like Harlie was. Oh Please!!!!!
DeleteI just think Scott is adorable for taking a photo of what he obviously thinks is adorable and that is YOU!:)
