Total weight gain: 20 lbs. Oh boy.
How big is the baby?: 1 2/3 lbs. and 14 inches long.
Maternity clothes: I have about 4 trusty pairs of pants I can wear and a handful of tops so this is good...gonna go find some boots soon and some more sweaters for winter.
Stretch marks?: Just the one so far.
Sleep: Sleeping ok...all things considered.
Best moment this week: Just all the generosity that has been thrown my way the last couple weeks. A sweet sis who watches Harlie and makes Costco runs for me, a mama that cooks me spaghetti and meatballs and buys me dinner, and friends whose generosity, friendship and excitement for me, are making sure I still have those "moments" this time around.
Movement: Yes, bigger, clunkier and more often. Plus she keeps squashing my bladder, which is awesome. Last night I saw my belly roll like crazy monster-in-the-belly style...could see a good portion of her body poking up...even though it's the second time around, it's just as amazing to see.
Food cravings: I've been eating a lot of salad this week which is good...maybe I should cut back on the gallons of ranch dressing though. :-) I'm scared about the quantity of chocolate I'll be consuming this week.
Food aversions: None really.
Labor signs: I had some weird tightening yesterday, almost felt like cramping, but I think maybe the peanut is starting to get crowed and just trying to stretch out.
Belly button in or out: In
What I'm looking forward to: Trick-or-treating with the fam tonight!

That dress was so cute on you! Loved it. It's so crazy that you are nearly in your third trimester woman!
ReplyDeleteThose monster rolls are so weird! I had no idea how lopsided a belly could be. I wonder so much what they are trying to do in there.
These pregnancy days are just trucking along. Can't wait until the girls are here! ;)
You are going to love having these weekly journals! 20 lbs. is nothin'! And don't you mean "Oh, girl." Har. Anyways you look beautiful and I love that pic of you and Mel...didn't mom take it?
