Getting closer to the due date with only 7 weeks to go! Feeling almost ready with the baby supplies and should be good to go within the next couple weeks! Trying not to stress about what being a new sleep-deprived and inexperienced parent is all about and looking forward to the good stuff! (Because it's all cuddles and cuteness, right?) haha so here are my latest pregnancy wonders revealed:
*How far along? 7 1/2 months! 33 weeks and 2 days to be exact.
*Total weight gain: Do I really want to boast this? okay.. 35 pounds. But I don't look it, right?
*How big is baby? At our ultrasound this past Tuesday we discovered she is already over 5 1/2 pounds! A little big for her age-- around 70th percentile. I can definitely feel she's gotten bigger and a lot stronger so it didn't really surprise me. Plus, at this rate, it might mean she'll decide to come early! :)
*Sleep? Getting a little more uncomfortable but not terrible. Tony bought me an awesome body pillow this week and it helps a lot! I think my main discomfort is being so terribly warm! (We have fans but no A/C in this tropical climate) It's just very warm ALL the time!
*Best moment this week? Well our Ultrasound was pretty exciting. We tried to get some good 3D pics but we couldn't get any great ones of her face... (shadows and things in the way?) We'll just have to be surprised on her birthday I guess. :)
*Food Cravings? Yes. Mac and Cheese, ice cream cones, and right now, zucchini lasagna! (which, by the way, my sweet husband is out trying to find for me- haha he's the best!) Also craving lots of ice! Apparently I was/am low on iron, but it might also be that it's just one way to stay cool. Non-food cravings? surprisingly YES as well: Strong smells (rubber, musty basements, gasoline, nail polish, etc...) SOOO hard not to indulge in these brain-damaging, harmful smells, but they seem better than ever right now. It that weird to crave smells? Also, even weirder, I, for some reason, have been craving styrofoam-- not to eat, just to brake and crumble and roll in my fingers until little pieces are almost nothing. It's so satisfying and I can't explain why! Ha!
*Labor signs? I think I experienced one contraction a couple weeks ago. Felt like a strong charley horse in my gut. Other than that, nothing to report.
*Belly Button in or out? Well, I would say pretty flat. Not really in or out.
*What I miss: Cuddling Tony without feeling uncomfortable after like 2 minutes! I was just telling him that today. I also miss laying on my tummy. I am a tummy sleeper and it's been weeks since I've been able to relax on my stomach.
*What I'm looking forward to: Seeing baby out of my tummy! I'm definitely looking forward to being a mommy and I probably think about it WAY too much throughout the day. :) I'm just excited!
*Baby name? Yes! I think we've decided on one! We'll wait until we see her to decide for sure though. So... not telling quite yet..
Today after Church
Tony still trying to show me up... haha yeah right :) love him!
