Baby is the size of a grapefruit!
Total weight gain: 6 lbs, but I haven't weighed myself in a while. It's probably about two tons by now.Maternity clothes: Two pairs of maternity jeans, sweatpants, sweatshirts, and t-shirts. That is my uniform.
Stretch marks: Yup, noticed the first couple over the weekend.
Sleep: What is good sleep? I don't remember anymore! Tossing and turning much more than usual. My wonderful students remind me every day, "You look tired."
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.
Best moment this week: Going to the extended family holiday party and playing party games. It was really nice seeing everyone again, and it's interesting to see all of my cousins taking care of their own babies now.
Food cravings: Macaroni and cheese shells (the cheap boxed kind).
Food aversions: Not really into baked goods right now. Other than that, bring me all of the food.
Gender: Billy and I know! We'll be having a gender reveal party for our family in two weeks.
Labor signs: None.
Pregnancy symptoms: Last night I yelled for Billy from the bathroom, "Come here! Hurry, it's an emergency!" "What is it?" he asked. "My belly button is missing!" It's weird to miss something you always took for granted...I'll see you again belly button, one day.
Emotional state: Wanting to get the nursery put together after this weekend's last painting adventure. Feeling anxious about the level of discomfort that's going to come as my belly grows since I already feel like a balloon ready to pop.
Looking forward to: Excited for the holiday season and Hallmark movies. Dreaming about next week and the long weekend (five days).
