34 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 34 weeks, 1 day

Total weight gain:  39 lbs

Maternity clothes? Just the few tanks and one pair of jeans I bought from Old Navy…hopefully they will get me through the next 6 or so weeks.

Stretch marks? None on the belly yet.

Sleep: Sleep is okay. I get tingly legs and arms at night no matter what position I am in…and I pee all the time so I guess I am just getting used to interrupted sleep!

Best moment this week: I just love hearing that little heart beating away at our doctors appointments. It’s magical every time!

Miss anything? As I have said in previous weeks, I miss feeling and being more mobile.

Movement: Still lots of it but no jabs as dramatic as they used to be. I think baby is definitely running out of room in there! I love how fascinated my husband is with my belly too because its one of the few things about baby he gets to experience while he or she is still in my tummy!

Food Cravings: Carbs!

Anything making you queasy or sick? No

Symptoms: My hips haven’t been as sore this week, which is a bonus. Just the normal; peeing lots and irregular sleep.

Gender prediction: I feel like I shouldn’t even guess at this one anymore….I just have absolutely no clue.

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out? Out

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or moody most of the time: Oh so happy.

Looking forward to: We start our prenatal classes on Thursday this week and we are excited about that. My shower is this weekend also which I am very excited about because my momma is flying in for it! Can’t wait to spend the afternoon with some fabulous ladies…and my doggie hehe. Midnight the Dog is going to wear pink and tag along to the shower because she is just that cute! Photos of this wonderful day to follow!

PS: Notice the pink shirt for Anti-Bullying day!!

33 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 33 Weeks, 2 Days

Total weight gain:  37 lbs

Maternity clothes? I did break down and buy a few items when I saw that Old Navy had brought back their maternity line AND it was 40% off. Bought a couple tanks, a t-shirt, and one pair of jeans.

Stretch marks? None that will be visible to anyone but my husband haha

Sleep: I’m still sleeping relatively okay, just uncomfortable.

Best moment this week: Going out for a romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner with my husband. Our last one kid free!

Miss anything? I wore high heels out to dinner and they weren’t the most comfortable. I miss being able to wear them to work every day and being able to stand all day in them too. I will be happy when I can do that again…I may treat myself to a new pair when that day comes!

Movement: Lots of rolls. Sometimes it’s a bit uncomfortable as baby gets bigger and there is less and less room in there. I get lots of friends and students asking me what it’s like to have baby moving around in there and I will say this: it is probably one of the most AMAZING feelings you will ever experience as a woman. And the bond you feel with your little one is unexplainable.

Food Cravings: Still just sweets!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Gender prediction: Girl? Haha I just don’t know

Labor signs: None yet (thank goodness!)

Belly button in or out? Uuuuuugh I don’t want to talk about it.

Wedding rings on or off?  On

Happy or moody most of the time: So happy!! And anxious to finally meet our little one!!

Looking forward to: My shower and starting our prenatal classes!

32 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 32 Weeks

Total weight gain:  37 lbs

Maternity clothes? Nope. I did borrow two pairs of jeans from my mom though who is a size or two bigger than me.

Stretch marks? None yet.

Sleep: Ugh, sleep is okay. My hips get so sore from sleeping on my side though.

Best moment this week: Seeing my family and for my mom to be able to see and feel the baby moving around in there.

Miss anything? An ice cold Lucky.

Movement: Movement is still very strong and lots of it

Food Cravings: Still sweets.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Symptoms: Sore knees, hips, shoulders (I think from sleep) and just generally not as mobile as I’d like to be.

Gender prediction: Girl! I have a girl feeling now. My husband has thought this all along but I wasn’t so sure. Now I’m starting to think he’s right!

Labor signs: None. I will probably go crazy when that actually happens.

Belly button in or out? Out.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!!

Looking forward to: Valentine’s day (I love holidays of all kinds!). And thinking about all the holidays with our little one next year. I can’t wait to get all of the cute Valentine’s and Easter outfits that they have out there!!

31 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 31 Weeks

Total weight gain: 34 pounds

Maternity clothes? None yet. Will have to cave in the next week or two and get some shirts I think…although I keep saying that.

Stretch marks? None yet, fingers crossed.

Sleep: Sleep is okay. Not awesome but I feel like I’m getting enough of it.

Best moment this week: Realizing we only have a about 2 months left. We are just getting so excited to meet this little babe. I also realized that most of our “big” moments have happened in the spring! We got married in the spring, bought our first house in the spring, and I graduated university in the spring! Now we get to add this to our wonderful list of spring happenings.

Miss anything? Being able to keep up with everyone! I feel like I’m huffing and puffing just trying to put socks and shoes on.

Movement: Less kicks and jabs and more big rolls.

Food Cravings: Eating sweets with a vengeance. I should not be left home alone as I just bake up a storm!!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope

Symptoms: Hip pain at night from having to sleep on my side. Also just generally out of breath. I know it’s only going to get worse!

Gender prediction: No clue. Not even one hint of a feeling one way or the other.

Labor signs: None. I haven’t experienced Braxton Hicks either…does everyone I wonder?

Belly button in or out? It’s out. I hate it.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: So happy!!

Looking forward to: Heading up to see my parents in the SNOW on Friday for family day long weekend! Cannot wait!!!
