How far along: 32 weeks pregnant...Due September 3rd!
Gender: Baby BOY!!
Total weight gain: Up 18 lb.
Exercise: I've been totally cleared to exercise normally. So on my vacation my mom and I did 5 or so miles a day, we would run 4 and walk 1. We would also walk 2 miles for coffee in the mornings. Now that I'm home I'm back into our class that we adore so much. I did it Monday and twice yesterday! On the off days, I run/walk and do some weights.
Maternity clothes: I mainly live in workout clothes, dresses, and
the pair of normal shorts I bought a couple sizes up. But a friend of mine
gave me some of her maternity clothes a few weeks back, so I have worn a couple of those pairs of shorts/pants.
Miss anything: Sleeping on my stomach. I can cheat it a bit and lay on my
stomach with half of me on a pillow, but it just isn’t the same.
Movement: This last week it's like he has grown or is running out of space because my belly is started to do all those crazy contortions with his movements. I absolutely love it. I could sit and watch/feel it forever.
Have you started to
show: You betcha!
Stretch marks: This is a tricky one. I never got stretch marks on my belly with
Mckenna. But ever since puberty I've had stretch marks on my thighs, tush, and
hips. They are very fine and you only really see them when the light hits them
right. So there's a good chance that I got more with Mckenna, I just have no
idea. My guess is I may be getting more as we speak, I just can't see them in
comparison to what is already there!
Belly button in or
out: It's in...but out. It's sticking out, but still inside of the goiter that is my belly button...if that makes any sense.
Wedding rings on or
off: On, when I actually wear them! I
take them off for exercise, showers, and sleeping...and with my baby brain and
pregnancy brain, I often forget to put them back on!
Sleep: I’ve felt more tired lately. I’m not sure if it’s
the early mornings starting at 4:50AM paired with Baby N still getting up once
in the night to eat, or just from being pregnant…maybe both. But the last several nights I've been crashing by 9ish!
Labor signs: No labor signs, but my Braxton Hicks contractions are
legit. I get them when my bladder is full, during exercise, when he's really
active, and for no reason at all...so really, I just get them all the
time.
Best moment of this week: I started diving into the nursery. Baby N is in there now, so I waited as long as possible. But it's about time to get started, so I did. Seeing some boy stuff in there makes it feel real, and holy moly, are we excited!! The color scheme has been decided...taadaaa:
