Total weight gain: about 21 lbs
Maternity clothes? My maternity jeans are awesome and I like them a lot better now than I did earlier on. Which makes sense I guess, even though I've heard that maternity jeans get really uncomfortable by the third trimester. Not for me yet!
But I am officially now in denial about certain clothes not fitting me
anymore. For the past couple Sundays I tried on skirts and dresses that I
thought *should* have fit me and then was all shocked that I couldn't
zip them up. And we tried for a good 5 minutes on the dress! It's
probably just a faulty zipper if you think about it...so logically I lay
back in bed and say I can't go, before finally moving on with my life
and throwing on a maxi skirt I wear all the time now. I get majorly
frustrated but (sort of) realize it's kind of silly to be. I mean, there
is a person in there!
Baby purchases: I had an awesome shower last weekend thrown by my lovely friends Hailey and Michelle. I got a lot of really cute clothes and I'm dying for him to wear them!
Food cravings: Not really anything! I don't get super hungry like I was expecting to, and I still can't eat too much at a time. That doesn't mean I don't push it way too often and end up regretting my choices.
Wedding ring on or off? On.
Moods? The pre-church meltdowns are about as bad as it gets. I feel great most of the time.
What I miss: Being able to fall back asleep quickly if I wake up in the middle of the night. Now I wake up every morning a couple hours before I need to get up (to pee of course) but am either too distracted by the babe moving around or can't turn off my thoughts and I end up lying there awake for at least an hour. I used to be the champ at falling right back asleep!
What else is new? This past doctors' appointment we got another ultrasound to check for a low placenta. Luckily everything looks good now! And it was obviously so fun to see our baby boy again. She measured his head then looked at both of us and asked if we have big heads...apparently his head was measuring to 34 weeks and I was 31 weeks at the time. His leg measurement also kept up with the 34 week range. Unfortunately they didn't change the due date since it could just be a growth spurt. So maybe he'll come a little early...or maybe he'll just be a big boy! She also said he weighed around 4.5 pounds at the time.
Random people in public are also starting to comment on the belly now. I'm still not really used to it. The worker at Cold Stone (I go there sometimes ok?) said "is that your first?" and I stared at him for a second cause I didn't know what he was talking about. I finally caught on and then he guessed that I was due in August. So that makes me feel pretty good since I'm feeling huge lately! And luckily I've only had a few randoms touch my belly...one was a lady who worked at the Cancun airport so I'll blame that on the culture? I don't know what it is with the whole stranger belly-touching thing. Just a little weird.
Also, the belly button has been getting close to popping for weeks now but it's still holding strong as an innie (or at least even)! That will probably change by tomorrow...
Looking forward to: Family showers coming up and feeling more prepared for the big arrival! I'm also so glad I'm due in the summer, because I NEED warm weather.
