Here are some stats about where I'm at right now:
*How far along? Just over 6 months! 27 weeks and 3 days. Oh does time go by fast! (I'm at 26 weeks, 2 days in the picture above...and yes, we are in Utah right now!)
*Total weight gain: Well as of my last Doctor visit 2 weeks ago, it was roughly 22 pounds... so probably 25ish. Yeesh! It's strange weighing the most I have ever weighed in my life! I officially feel like I've outgrown all my clothes as of 2-3 weeks ago... Tony's mom has been so generous to buy me some outfits that fit! :) (I thought I was doomed to Mumus)
*How big is baby? according to my Baby Bump App on my phone she is about 14.5 in. and 2 pounds. Crazy to think she will triple or quadruple in size these next 3 months.
*Sleep? Yes, Please! It's all I want to do! But as for at night? So far, pretty dang good. Last night I was kept awake by some back ache, but that has been very rare. Seems like the best sleep I get is on our inflatable air mattress when we go camping (which has been most weekends the past couple months). Tony has been intrigued the past several days by all the kicks and movements that go on in my belly when we go to bed. It's so cute how he's been falling asleep with his hand on my tummy. :)
*Best Moment this week? There have been a couple firsts this week that have been pretty cool... 1- feeling the baby not just kick sporadically, but completely move around in a big lumpy movement. (Haha I don't know how to describe these things..) 2- feeling movement on opposite sides of my tummy at the same time (kicks AND punches I suppose?) and 3- Hiccups! I'm pretty sure those rhythmic beats are hiccups and not some random drumming practice. Ha! Yeah I think I've noticed them twice.
*Food Cravings? Desserts! Especially puddings and pies (hence all the weight gain probably). Water has been huge! Especially at night, during the night, and with ice. I've craved lots of milk, too, and definitely juices and fruits. Probably my biggest eating craving has simply just been "often". I feel like I can eat all the time! I definitely out-eat Tony. {this baby is making me a pig! haha}
*Labor Signs? I..... don't think so. Sometimes I feel a sharp jab of pain somewhere in my gut or kidney and just assume the baby took a hard kick down there. Hard enough to make me sit down. I suppose it could be a random contraction, but I guess I don't know?
*Belly Button in or out? Still in! (though I can pop it out on demand if I manipulate it just right. Why would I do that? Because I found it humorous the first time I tried. Don't worry.. I got over that fast;)
*What I Miss: My energy! I feel like I gypped Tony on a lot of Kauai hiking he was looking forward to. But we LOVE relaxing on the beach just as much! So it's been fine. I miss craving sunshine, too! I get so hot I want to be in the shade whenever we're at the beach (so much for my Hawaiian tan).
*What I'm looking forward to: Well, for one, our 3D ultrasound next month! Last we saw our baby she was 19.5 weeks... next time she'll be about 32 weeks. I'm excited to see the changes! I think there is a lot to look forward to! Tony's mom got us TONS of cute baby outfits and baby stuff and I'm so excited to see what our little princess will look like in them! I'm also looking forward to NOT feeling huge all the time. Less than 3 months!!!
Me at 21 weeks
