How far along? 32 weeks!!! (7th Month)
Total weight gain: My weight was surprisingly the same when I went to the doctor last Monday, I weigh 149, 14 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight of 135 OR 24lbs from my lowest pregnancy weight 125. Honestly I've fallen off the tracking my food bandwagon. I can't track all the snacking, I have so little room in my stomach right now that I have to snack more often and have less "meals".
Maternity clothes? I just got some maternity leggings that are so comfortable and thick and warm, I may never get out of them again. I also picked up a few shirts for the last 8 weeks or so I have. I'm so glad too because my belly was getting too big for the ones I have, I like to think they've shrunk in the wash.
Stretch marks? Still no new ones to share! :) I have been rubbing my stomach, sides, lower pack, inner thigh, hell the whole thigh down with Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks (Babies R Us), and raw virgin coconut oil. I hope I can stay this lucky but my skin feels like it's stretched to the max right now!
Sleep: Sleeping has been so hard because I'm constantly fighting with what side is more comfortable to actually be resting on. I'll tell you what side, neither! They are both a pain and right side or left side I can't breathe! -__- I am so tired!
Best moment this week: Probably having Ryder's Birthday party done, planning Brandon's and having Brandon sell his first house!
Miss anything? I miss nothing this week. Life is good! I am so beyond happy, just waiting to hold our baby boy!
Movement: This little guy is getting so big, and strong! I honestly am shocked when he kicks or punches or runs a body part down the inside of my belly I can't help but actually say ouch aloud!
Food cravings: WHERE ARE YOU HIDING CADBURY CHOCOLATE?! I want to eat all the cadbury chocolate I can find, unfortunately unless its Easter I'm limited to Carmellos. I'm keeping plenty of clementines on hand still and I have a ton of fresh cut veggies to snack on. Cheese and wheat crackers are good too! Mmmm almost snack time!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I had a bout of nausea just the other day but it was in the evening and nothing had happened or smelled or anything. It was odd but it is gone! :)
Gender:
Labor signs: Nope, the occasional tight stomach but no pain no real contractions.
Symptoms: TWO WORDS, Leg Cramps. Dear everything that is good and right in the world why leg cramps?!? Those things are paralyzing and just plain awful! I keep getting them in my sleep and it hurts so bad it not only wakes me up but I am nearly in tears from pain. Not exactly how this girl wants to be kept from her beauty sleep. Then there are hormonal breakouts, those are are back, yaaay... Not. Sweating, I'm sweating like a sweaty beast! Why am I so sweaty but I don't feel hot!!
Belly button in or out? Flat. Flat nothing. Just a flat blob of once bellybutton. Hahaha but seriously occasionally it is so out that it is a creepy big button thingy. Super awkward.
Wedding rings on or off? On, I put it back on it's loose around where it sits but tight to take off. I think I'll just leave it.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, so incredibly happy. It's really starting to hit us that he will be here to complete our family in just a few short weeks! The anticipation is growing, I find myself having more and more patience the closer we get.
Looking forward to: Getting the house in clean order (yeah right) now that we have all of the new toys from Ryder's Birthday. I'd love to clean out our garage now that Brandon is not doing football in the evenings, unfortunately it gets dark at 4:30 these days so it'll have to wait for a weekend or we'll need flash lights. I can't wait for the holidays to start piling on either:
Thanksgiving: 14 days
Brandon's Birthday: 23 days
Christmas: 41 days
New Years: 48 days
Baby's D-Day: 56 days
Eat bananas and drink more water to help with the leg cramps. Also, compression hose can help (my friend Adrienne is pregnant and has those same issues). Hang in there, getting close!
