Total weight gain: 30-32lbs.- ish
Best moment of the week: All the love showered onto baby girl this past weekend!
Maternity clothes? Still not too many! I assume this answer of mine won't change for the remaining six weeks...but then again comfort is becoming my absolute #1 importance so who knows...I might have to go buy a few more maternity sweaters.
Sleep: Pretty good. Snoogle is my best friend again! With the carpal tunnel, if I'm not careful about how I sleep and my hand placement, my hands will fall asleep and in turn wake me up. So I lay on my sides and try to maneuver my hands (which only works some of the time of course) to where I'm not laying on them or my arms. I usually sleep in about 3-4 hour increments...so probably my brain and body are preparing for baby!
Miss anything? To reiterate from last week...I miss getting up from my desk, couch, bed, etc. without moaning and groaning! I don't even realize I'm doing it - but whew! It takes a lot out of me to stand up after sitting for awhile! It's hysterical.
Food cravings: NOTHING! I am the most boring pregnant girl to eat with I swear. Hubby calls me on his way home from work every night I swear with the hopes that I'm going to want him to pick me up something fabulous and crazy (because then HE gets to benefit from it as well ;) !), but it's just not happening. If I DO want anything interesting, it's NEVER at night and always at lunch...almost no appetite at all for dinner. So poor hubby just has to fend for himself most evenings. ;)
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope! Hallelujah.
Symptoms: Just the good 'ol carpal tunnel that seems to be sticking around. Oh - and I think I might have had a braxton hicks contraction or two. I got up from sitting last night and it sort of felt like a sharp RIP in my lower abdomen area? Just twice and then never again. Thank goodness for mom, books and mommy-friends at work that help me through all the symptoms so I don't have the be the crazy freaked-out pregnant lady!
Belly button in or out? I personally think it's flat most of the time and slightly comes out when I laugh or breathe heavily...but I've been told that nope, it's OUT! I think it's because when I picture an "outie", I don't picture what I have. Put it this way - it doesn't LOOK like it's popped out. It's just more of when I wear a tight shirt it looks like there's something protruding.
Movement: Lots and loving it! She will slow down from time to time...but I think she's getting bigger and the space is getting smaller so it's not as noticeable.
Happy or Moody most of the time? So, so happy.
Looking forward to: Going through all of baby girl's gifts and getting organized! The families and my office hosted absolutely lovely baby showers this past weekend and Jason and I could not feel more fortunate to be surrounded by such wonderful people in our lives. Six weeks to go and we can't WAIT!
Here are some quick pictures from the showers this weekend. I have such a happy heart!
