29 Weeks

How far along? 29 Weeks 6 Days

Weight gain? 23lbs I think total?

Maternity Clothes? Yes when I go out in public, pajamas the rest of the time ;)

Stretch marks? I don't think so..yet

Sleep? Crappy...my body just hurts so bad! Back problems since 7 weeks has been rough...

Best moment this week? Tuesday - Hung out with Emily while shopping for things for my shower as well as the National Ice Cream Party we do each year! Wednesday - Andy and I spent the whole entire day (basically), together and it was amazing! We got a lot done for the nursery including the crib being bought! Things are slowly but surely coming together.

Miss anything? Feeling normal, I understand that I may never feel like I did prior to pregnancy, but not having back aches, feet hurting and legs that hurt so bad I can't walk...would be amazing!

Cravings? Not really, I always can go for cotton candy though!

Any Aversions? Not so much

Showing? Yes, some guy at Lowe's even asked how far along I was, to which I WISH I had responded, "what...? I'm not pregnant" maybe teach him that he shouldn't ask that even if he's sure haha!

Belly button in or out? So far out, I'm not sure if it can poke out anymore!

Wedding ring on or off? Off usually

Happy or Moody? Pretty happy this week, not too emotional like last week.

Looking forward to? I don't know, I guess getting the nursery put together a little more and having things on my list checked off!

Baby Movement? Moving tons, seems like he/she moves a lot more when I need to go to the bathroom than anything (probably cause a full bladder means less room to move around).

Anything else to report? Had my Dr. appt today, I expressed my concerns about my leg hurting so bad the other day after running errands with Emily then Andy, but that the pain has gone away and I didn't notice any swelling. She told me to just keep tabs on my leg and make sure it's not swelling up. (My dad has a blood clot right now, and his sister (my aunt) always got blood clots when she was pregnant, so I'm more prone to that apparently. Luckily, the pain I was explaining was in the "wrong spot" to be blood clots, but she still wants me to just be mindful of it since I do know the signs/symptoms of clots. She also said that I need to get the Tdap vaccine done...which sucks! I HATE shots...so yay for me! I had no idea you have to get that every pregnancy...great. Other than all that, things are great! I am measuring on track still. I see her again in 2 weeks. I feel like this pregnancy is flying by! (July is jam packed with stuff always, then all of August I'll be seeing her every week, plus baby showers and stuff, so I think the next couple months will go by pretty quickly!)

28 Weeks

How far along? 28 Weeks 5 Days

Weight gain? I don't think much but I'm not sure

Maternity Clothes? Yes for most things

Stretch marks? I don't think so...yet.

Sleep? Pretty crappy, though I still feel like I get a lot of sleep. At least more than I hear other saying they get, so I dunno. I've just always been the type of person that NEVER got out of bed in the middle of the night no matter what, so it's tough that I can't do that anymore haha!

Best moment this week? Nothing too exciting happened this week that was the "best". Just another week I guess.

Miss anything? Not being in pain constantly basically... My back hurts, I'm starting to have Braxton Hicks, and I just feel uncomfortable.

Cravings? Nothing really, I'm kind of feeling sick after I eat again which makes me nervous. Things sound really good and I eat them fine but then I feel like death the rest of the day/night...

Any Aversions? Nothing out of the ordinary

Showing? Definitely, people are starting to ask me when I'm due (even if they had no idea I was pregnant), so I am finally showing in other people's eyes not just my own.

Belly button in or out? Most definitely out, I don't know if it can come out anymore than it is!

Wedding ring on or off? I haven't been wearing it, but I've been wearing a thin band I have and even that is a little tight. I'm thinking it's time to buy something I can wear the remainder of this pregnancy (a fat ring).

Happy or Moody? This was definitely a moody week. Very hormonal. I just wanted Andy to hold me while I cried most days. 

Looking forward to? Another appointment on Friday and then spending the day on Saturday with Emily!

Baby Movement? Yes lots and lots of movement. I feel like baby is "breech", because I can feel a bulge up by my ribs then at the same time I feel a kick down low. 

Anything else to report? I've had a few Braxton Hicks I believe (at least I think), and they have been pretty miserable. I finally bought a maternity swim suit so hopefully I can find a pool, and a pool buddy to keep me from dying of heat this summer! It's supposed to be 104 this week! *cue, groans...*

27 Weeks

How far along? 27 Weeks 6 Days

Weight gain? About the same since my last appointment, not gaining much but not losing any.

Maternity Clothes? They are most comfy, but some things I still wear that aren't maternity just because they are baggy type clothes. For the most part I lounge at home in comfy pajamas though.

Stretch marks? I don't think so, still using the coconut oil. Maybe a few on my hips like I said before.

Sleep? Meh, not horrible, I feel okay in the morning, but I do wake up 2-3 times every night and I hate that!

Best moment this week? Went to the doctor, my last 4 week appointment! I am now going to see her every 2 weeks, which makes it seem more real! Oh and I got my bike this week so we went on a bike ride every day this week which was awesome!

Miss anything? Not being in pain, that really feels like the only difference between pregnancy and non pregnancy is my back pain!

Cravings? Cotton Candy, I eat a lot of peanut butter/jelly sandwiches but I wouldn't say I necessarily crave either of those things, just sound good. 

Any Aversions? Nothing out of the ordinary, still don't like a lot of things I didn't like pre pregnancy. 

Showing? Yes, feeling huge but know I am only getting bigger!

Belly button in or out? Definitely out, my "tender timer".

Wedding ring on or off? Pretty much off, especially with it getting hot outside.

Happy or Moody? Moody, very hormonal. 

Looking forward to? A new week! Hopefully this one will have more energy, more production, and less tears!

Baby Movement? Tons and tons, sometimes baby makes me a little sick from all the moving but I'm just glad baby is healthy and moving around lots!

Anything else to report? I was shocked when my doctor asked if I'm having any contractions! What? Haha! I had no idea I could be feeling those already, kind of crazy to me! Luckily, I don't think I have yet, but who knows!

26 Weeks

Again no picture...I'm lame lazy! Next week there will be!

How far along? 26 Weeks 6 Days

Weight gain? I think I'm roughly the same, I have an appointment this coming friday so we'll see then!

Maternity Clothes? Mostly yes still

Stretch marks? I think I might already have some on my hips but not entirely sure.

Sleep? Rough, I think i'm hitting the rough sleeping stage. Granted I still get 7-8 hours a night but I wake up about 3 times every night to pee.

Best moment this week? Not really the best thing, but I took my Glucose test! It turned out not as bad as I was thinking. Everyone tries to describe the drink you have to drink, but not a single person said that it tastes just like normal juice which is what I thought. I took the Fruit Punch kind, it was really cold and tasted just like the regular fruit punch you'd buy at the store. I drank it with no problem. The drawing blood part was horrible like I thought it would be and I of course have a bruise already (I took the test earlier today!). We have to wait to see the results.

Miss anything? My back not hurting. It really is horrible some days. There are times where I just lay in bed because I cannot get up due to my back. Which is horrible cause laying in bed all day is probably not good for my back so it's a viscous circle!

Cravings? Still just sweets usually.. but maybe like Shaved Ice this week.

Any Aversions? Nope not really

Showing? Yes

Belly button in or out? Out, definitely out..

Wedding ring on or off? I'm wearing just my band mostly right now cause it fits a little better but it's a little snug.

Happy or Moody? Moody, but if there is anything I've learned the last 3 years of being married is that I just need to say what is bothering me instead of letting it bottle up like I used to. I can bounce out of my moodiness a lot faster this way.

Looking forward to? My appointment next friday! It'll be my last appointment of 4 weeks, then I start seeing her every 2 weeks! I'm shocked that next saturday is the Third Trimester! It's so crazy to think about!

Baby Movement? Yes! Baby was moving like crazy the other morning, so while Andy continued sleeping I just laid there watching baby, it was awesome.

Anything else to report? Not that I know of, I'm anxious to find out about the glucose test. I really don't want to have to do the other one too! We'll see, fingers crossed!
