29 weeks!

How far along?  29.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: Last time I checked I had so far gained 1lb.

Maternity clothes?  Oh yes, so thankful for maternity clothes! LOL

Stretch Marks?  Still no new ones as far as I know.

Sleep:  It’s getting better, thank goodness! I’m usually able to get a little bit of a nap in the afternoon and starting to get better sleep at night too. Plus the OB said I could take Unisom if I needed to so I bought some to have on hand just in case though I haven’t needed it yet…

Best moment this week:  Seeing Andrew react to the Christmas Tree and Elf on the Shelf!

Worst moments this week:  Oh just boring stuff I’d rather not talk about – nothing related to pregnancy though! Not looking forward to the month of January though for sure. It’s going to be mid to late January before we can move or begin getting baby stuff which is crazy stressful for me.

Miss Anything?  Hard cider and beer. And sushi and lying on my stomach and being able to hug my hubby without piking haha

Movement:  Getting a bit more muted – I’m sure she’s beginning to run out of space. But lots of pushing out on my belly and testing the boundaries of my skin lol

Food cravings:  Chocolate. All the time.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Acid Reflux or really bad smells.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Symptoms: Sore hips!! Out of breath easily and get tired easily. Went on a short grocery trip this week and felt like I needed a nap after haha

Belly Button in or out?  Top half is out, bottom half is about flat.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: I’d say I’m beginning to get pretty moody, haha

Looking forward to:  Christmas!

Well, Hello There Third Trimester!

How far along?  28.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: Found out today that I lost another 2 lbs so total weight gain this pregnancy is currently 1 lb. Crazy, huh? Major 1st trimester morning sickness and then acid reflux will do that to you I guess haha.

Maternity clothes?  Yes. I’m especially loving this little black maternity dress I got on sale from Old Navy. But otherwise my maternity yoga pants from Target are a favorite.

Stretch Marks?  I don’t think I’m getting any new ones so far. Definitely using lotion often and trying to drink lots of water to prevent them as long as possible. But if I do get more, meh. Not a big deal.

Sleep:  TERRIBLE. For weeks I’ve slept pretty well other than waking up briefly to shift around a few times a night but for the last few nights I’ve only gotten a total of about 3 hours a night, broken up in one hour stints. And I’m no longer able to sleep during Andrew’s nap time. Insomnia is in full force and it’s not pretty.

Best moment this week:  Cuddling with Andrew.

Worst moments this week:  Sleep sucking and being super emotional so I cry about my lack of sleep lol. Oh! And I got overheated on our hospital tour and almost fainted. I had to leave the tour for a moment to get some water from a nurse….

Miss Anything?  Hard cider.

Movement:  SO much. She’s super active and has been very regular since about 22 weeks which is nice. The other night I even woke up to her just shoving a hand or foot or something out the top of my belly for a few minutes.

Food cravings:  Chocolate. All the time. Also fruit, dairy and peanut butter toast.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Acid Reflux still but it’s been pretty good so far this week.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Symptoms: Getting overheated easily, out of breath, sore ribs/back if I’m on my feet for too long, acid reflux, major fatigue, vivid dreams…

Belly Button in or out?  Top half is out, bottom half is about flat.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: I’m more content than happy but definitely emotional. Not so moody but cry at the drop of a hat. I mentioned earlier that sleep is bad and makes me cry…. Well, the first time I couldn’t sleep during nap time I cried at least 4 or 5 times in a row. Ugly crying. It was a pretty interesting night.

Looking forward to:  Thanksgiving!!
