Baby is the size of a durian! What in the hell is a durian?
Total weight gain: 20 pounds!Maternity clothes: I am currently raiding Billy's side of the closet for his larger t-shirts and sweatshirts. I may never give them back.
Stretch marks: Nope.
Sleep: Depends on the night...sometimes I sleep really well, and sometimes I get up to pee five times and contemplate life's purpose for a good 30 minutes.
Miss anything? We have officially entered the zone of, "Billy, can you tie my shoe for me?" Small things like that have become a test of wills, as I must choose between breathing or asking for help.
Best moment this week: Playing Dominoes with Billy, mom, and dad and laughing so hard I peed myself. That actually would have happened without laughing.
Movement: She is twisting and turning every day! Especially in the middle of the night. We can feel her foot (or knee, or elbow, or other unidentifiable appendage) on my left side when she pushes against me.
Food cravings: Macaroni and cheese, the traditional kind.
Food aversions: Nope, but I'm not as hungry as I was in the second trimester.
Gender: We're having a baby girl! If the ultrasound was read incorrectly, we have a backup boy name ready to go.
Labor signs: None.
Pregnancy symptoms: The heartburn was terrible last week, but mostly gone now. Back is sore, but otherwise I'm trucking along with just a waddle in my step.
Emotional state: Excited to be counting down the last seven weeks! Some days drag on and on, but we are finally getting to the finish line. I keep randomly remembering we're going to be taking care of a human life at the end of this...uhhh, shouldn't we have to pass a test first? Who approved this? I want names!
Looking forward to: A night of watching comedy shows, relaxing with our dogs, and getting blinds installed on all of the house windows.
