Days Pregnant: 189
Days Remaining: 91, less than 100 days to go?! Unbelievable! So exciting, and nerve wracking! |
| Can't believe this belly is getting bigger for three more months! |
Total Weight Gain: Oh boy, it feels like I'm really packing on the pounds... I'm up a total of 26 pounds, and I've put on 10 of those in the last 6 weeks. I know What to Expect says 1-2 pounds in the last half of pregnancy, blah blah blah. Its still so not fun to see the number on the scale go up so quickly. Oh well, only 13 weeks of gaining left to go!
Maternity Clothes: Baby is big enough that I'm only in maternity clothes from here on out! I'm starting to get bored with my rather small maternity selection, but I have no desire to spend any more money on clothes I can only wear for a few more months. Here's to accessorizing!
Best Moment This Week (or The Last 6 Weeks...): So many! Oliver is moving around like crazy, and he's still small enough that it's not cramped in there, so no painful jabs yet. Also, Nora has become this amazing talker recently! I've had lots of free time during the day since school started and have completely loved talking with her and hearing her yell out her newest catchphrase--this week it's "I'm Nana Princess!"
Movement: All the time! Especially when I finally lay down to go to sleep, such a happy way to end each day. :)
Cravings: I can't eat as much anymore since my stomach is getting smooshed by all that baby in there, so it seems like I'm constantly hungry but fill up right away. So really, I'm just craving a full meal??
Aversions: Eggs and yogurt, that's been the same since the very beginning. Hopefully this will pass after I have Oliver, I miss omelets and parfaits. :(

Gender: Baby boy!
Labor Signs: Let the Braxton Hicks contractions begin! They aren't painful, mostly they are just a weird tightening feeling. One more sign this baby will be coming fairly soon!
Symptoms: Still really congested, especially first thing in the morning, and since I was the same way when pregnant with Nora, I'm not expecting that to change until after we meet the little man. My back is also really sore and stiff, so I can't really sit/stand/lay down in the same position for too long.
Looking Forward To: Next doctor's appointment is Wednesday, feels like it's been so long since I heard the heartbeat last. Also, so excited for Halloween this year! Nora is finally old enough to understand what's going on, so I'm crossing my fingers for some warm trick-or-treating weather!
