Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I can’t believe this little one is full term in three weeks!!! Now that’s something to be thankful for! How far along? 34 weeks Weight Gained: 25.5 lbs. This week we had Greg strap on our 16 lb turkey with an extra 10 lb hand weight to give this lady some sympathy as to why I’ve been tired all the time. I was shocked how heavy them pounds are! Shocked, […]
A durian. That’s how big this baby is. I have no idea what that is or how to even eat it but apparently we are just running out of recognizable items. On average they say she’s *around* 4lbs and measuring *around* 17in long. I get claustrophobic just thinking about her being all scrunched up in there. And changing the subject.. How far along? 33 weeks Weight Gained: 26 lbs… aaaand we are back up. Symptoms: I got […]
How far along? 32 weeks Weight Gained: 23 lbs Symptoms: Well, I cry a lot, but that’s nothing new. Small hills or sometimes just sitting up leaves me completely out of breath. In fact, I just sat up and Greg said, “well those were a lot of noises…” I’m a grunting, huffing, lady of grace these days. Movement: I was sure she was gone this week cause all her little kicks seemed to disappear :( I must say I […]
How far along? 31 weeks! If we are pretending, as all baby sites do, that a baby takes exactly 40 weeks to develop, we have now reached single digits, folks! Weight Gained: 22.5 lbs… well going down is a first. Symptoms: It seems all my first trimester symptoms seem to be saying hello again. They must’ve missed me! Still super tired all the time, slightly nauseous, everything smells oh so strong, these boobs of mine have earned their right […]
How far along? 30 weeks!!! Weight Gained: I’m gunna go with 23.5 lbs Symptoms: So. Very. Tired. All the time. I’m really starting to wonder if I ever had energy in my life. And if I ever could get through a day without tearing up over something. What am I becoming?!? Movement: She seems to be hanging out in the same position lately with lots of little adjustment movements (Think more stretching, less kicking :) I think she’s getting cramped […]
How far along? 29 weeks Weight Gained: 22.5 lbs Symptoms: Sciatica!!! It usually comes and goes but last weekend, it stayed and I turned into an old old OLD woman. Greg had to help me out of cars and each thing. I was a fun date. As embarrassing as that is, it kinda makes me oh so excited that I get to grow old with that guy :) :) Movement: Lots of hiccups this week. Have I mentioned […]
Okay baby site people. This girl was the size of an eggplant two weeks ago. Are we running out of food items here? Also, I told everyone I could that I was in my third trimester last week but then I read lots of people only count it at 28 weeks so now IT’S OFFICIAL. We are on the homestretch!!!! Also, I’ve been saying “on homestretch” for as long as I can remember and Greg just […]
How far along? 27 weeks Weight Gained: 19.5 lbs still…. actually if I was being honest, it’d be 19.6 Symptoms: Got my first case of the good ol leg cramps! Those woke me up : ) And are plugged ears a symptom? I’ve been getting those a lot too. Only hearing your own voice is just so much fun. Movement: She’s certainly making up for her lack of movement last week. Oh my, she must be excited about […]
How far along? 26 weeks Weight Gained: This is less exciting and more embarrassing these days. 19.5 lbs Symptoms: Same ol same ol. Fall down sleepy all the time again… Movement: She seems to be slowing down a bit :/ Food cravings: Chocolate chocolate chocolate. And watery fruit. I found some m&m’s in a drawer at my parents house and man, they were ripped open and devoured before I even allowed myself to entertain the thought that they were not mine […]
Oh man am I ready! It is currently 91 degrees (which actually seems cool compared to the last couple of weeks..), our air conditioning has decided now is the time it should stop working, and I am so ready to see my family more than once every couple of months!! Yippeeee!! How far along? 25 weeks Weight Gained: Umm…. ummm I forgot to do it this morning and you know, it fluctuates mightily throughout the day…. but […]
