How big is he?: 2.5+ llbs or the size of a cucumber!
Gender: BOY oh boy!!
Maternity clothes?: Yes, most of my normal shirts still fit but maternity ones are way more comfy!!
Weight Gain: 15llbs. I'm officially declare that I will not gain anymore weight! Now, if I can lay off the chocolate milk...ha!
I'm measuring right on track, which is a huge relief!
Symptoms: all.day.long back pain (seriously going to take my heating pad to work with me) & Heartburn, but thankfully Tums don't upset my stomach anymore (I take them in addition to my Zantac)
Oh and my lovely pregnancy-induced roseacea is back. Boo.
Belly button....in or out?: It's almost out and still strange looking. Ben probably thinks I'm a loon because I keep staring at it and saying "it feels/looks so weird"!
Sleep: Some days I sleep well and others not so much. I cannot get comfy for the most part because of my back pain. Sleeping on my sides of course now hurt my hips. Ugh.
Saturday night I fell asleep at 8:40 and woke up at 8:33 AM! Yep, 12 solid hours of sleep. Sweeet!!
Stretch marks?: None. {Knocks on wood.}
Cravings: Chocolate, good fries and water
Movement: He has moments where I think I have a karate kid because he's literally kicking up a storm. He punched me in the ribs yesterday and that didn't feel too good.
Best moment this week: Went to my 30 wk appointment and the Doctor felt that he is laying horizontally and low. His head is on my left lower side and feet on my right. It makes sense because he's always kicking me on the right and I get sharp stabbing pains on my left (his shoulder is pinchin my nerve).
She will monitor me in the next 2 visits and if he hasn't moved head down we'll discuss our options. The dreaded "c" word was brought up.
-B and I went on a lunch date to Cori's Dog House and the first thing the guy at the counter said to me was "Is it a boy or girl?". I literally had to stop and think about it because I wasn't expecting a stranger to ask that and plus my mind was on the hot dog I wanted!! I guess I actually look pregnant now and not just fat! ha!
Ok, You look SO good! I can't believe it is so close to him being here. So excited for you!
ReplyDeleteYou look great & I'm so excited to see the rest of the nursery progress. I want to tell you I had heard awful things about c sections and I did not think it was bad AT ALL. Honestly I've had so many friends who had rough deliveries with lots of stitches and I think their recovery was way worse than mine. Plus, if nothing else c section babies always seem to have better shaped heads ha!!
ReplyDeleteYou look fan-tastic! I'm curious about this "good" fry craving?
ReplyDeleteSara: I'm a fry snob. I only like certain fries and I'm only liking a few places right now (Red Robin, Cori's and sweet potato fries at home)!!
