Baby is the size of a papaya!
Total weight gain: 6 lbs...haven't weighed myself this week, so really...who knows.Maternity clothes: Two pairs of maternity jeans, and my comfy sweatpants and sweatshirt at home every night.
Stretch marks: Not yet, but this belly is growing.
Sleep: The past couple of nights are the first times I've noticed I need to lay on my side in order to be comfortable. Laying on my back feels too heavy now, and I like having extra blankets between my knees and under my belly for support.
Best moment this week: Having the house painted by some absolutely wonderful people. The CC awards banquet where we received a running stroller and adorable onesie from the team. We went on the birth suites tour at the hospital. So happy that the staff and policies of the hospital align with what we want from our birth experience. Super nice rooms.
Miss anything? I miss not feeling bloated and having control over my body. Being able to bend over to pick things up off the floor without feeling like there's a road block in the form of a belly.
Movement: The baby likes to kick me after I eat something, when I'm laying down, and when I'm driving.
Food cravings: I'm just hungry. All of the time. Feed me.
Food aversions: No. Bring me all of the food.Gender: Billy and I know! We'll be having a gender reveal party for our family in three weeks.
Labor signs: None.
Pregnancy symptoms: Belly. It exists. It's growing. Be scared.
Emotional state: Happy and excited that we're past the halfway point. I really want to start organizing the nursery, but that probably won't happen until Thanksgiving break.
Looking forward to: Excited for the holiday season and Hallmark movies. This week and next weekend are really busy, so looking forward to some quiet time. Looking forward to the weekend: seeing my athletes in a play, visiting family in La Crosse, and relaxing on Sunday.
