Is it weird that this still doesn't seem real to me yet? I'm having a hard time imagining myself a year from now with a 9 month old…
Here's the update!
How far along: 29 weeks!
Total weight gain: gained 13 lbs total
Maternity clothes: Yes, yes, and yes.
Stretch marks: Nope! (or at least, not yet!) My mom never got stretch marks though so I'm hoping I inherited that :)
Sleep: Aye…it's complicated. Sometimes I'm ok in the bed and can sleep on my side. Other times I can only sleep on the recliner (I'm a back sleeper). Many nights I'm up from 2-4 just because I can't sleep. The whole insomnia thing is for the birds!
Best moment of this week: Having a baby shower in Arizona with my aunts, cousins, grandmas and two close friends that still live there!
Miss anything: Sleeping on my back in my bed. The ease of putting on shoes without help. Bending over. A belly that doesn't itch 24/7. Hot tubbing.
Movement: SO much movement. Maybe I'm crazy because this is my first and I have nothing to compare it to, but I'm convinced our little guy is on the "more active" side of the baby movement spectrum. It is non-stop all day (and night) long.
Food cravings: I actually haven't really had any cravings while I've been pregnant. Since I've started feeling better food has never tasted better though!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anymore, thank goodness!
Have you started to show yet: Umm, yes :)
Gender: Boy!!
Labor signs: I've had a few braxton hicks starting about two weeks ago. Very weird. And extremely distracting. Not painful in the least bit though.
Belly button in or out: Um, neither? It's flat and sticks out a little bit when I don't have anything on, but the moment I put on a shirt it pushes it flat again because it's so soft. I don't really foresee having a hard belly button that sticks out, but I guess we'll see!
Wedding rings on or off: On, thank goodness. I already get enough stares from people because of how young I look. It'd be even more terrible if I couldn't wear my ring!
Happy or moody most of the time: So happy. In fact, I don't think I've been overly hormonal at all. I've had exactly three "melt downs" (one was about a week ago…I didn't want to leave my husband haha!) in almost the last 30 weeks. That's good for a woman even when she's not pregnant!
Looking forward to: Starting my student teaching on Monday. This spring is going to be a crazy ride, but I'm so excited to close a very fun chapter in my life, and start a brand new one!
Until next time!
