Total weight gain: 40lbs. Let's hope that it doesn't take 10 months to take that amount off...but regardless know it will all have been more than worth it. :)
Best moment of the week: Finally feeling ready. Or should I say, as "ready" as I'm going to feel! We got the baby's room completely finished - with the majority of the work done by my incredible family who I do not know what I would do without! - and that was a MAJOR de-stressor for me. Clothes are washed, swings and high chairs are set up, room is decorated...we are pretty good to go!
Maternity clothes? Yes...the usual! I feel like I've grown out in inches the past two weeks so that's been a good laugh as some of my tops now don't touch down to my thighs and are a little bit shorter!
Sleep: I'm amazed how well I've still be able to sleep. I definitely still wake up 3-5 times for my hands or potty breaks, but I go right back to bed for the most part. WITH THE EXCEPTION of last night; apparently I kept doing a big, loud snore and waking myself up!? Hubby has told me I have been doing this for the last month or so, but it wasn't until last week until I actually WOKE MYSELF UP because the noise coming from me was so loud! So last night it was pretty bad and I would say about every hour I would wake myself up with this noise...which led to a very light-and-incomplete night's sleep. Maybe baby is saying "I'm coming! Get ready for this every night!"?
Miss anything? I miss my old hands (pre-carpal tunnel) and having a normal body. I will MISS having baby girl in my belly but am getting excited to get back to my old self!
Food cravings: Carbs and sweets! I'm shocked at how much I am able to eat with what little room is left in my tummy...but I almost feel like I'm back in my first trimester and wanting to eat everything in sight! I will eat my whole lunch and then STILL be salivating at the mouth if I see something else yummy.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Some grilled chicken again...
Symptoms: Still just swollen to the max. My ankles are permanently swollen and get worse as the day goes on...and my hands are following suit.
Belly button in or out? Out and ODD! It's not an "outie" like I pictured it being. It's...interesting! Nowadays not even my cami tank that I wear underneath my tops hide the belly button...it's just out there regardless!
Movement: Lots but in bigger movements; not the sharp little motions that I used to feel. It's so hard to believe she's inside my belly one minute and then outside the next...
Happy or Moody most of the time? Cloud nine. :)
Looking forward to: Meeting our sweet little girl!
