How far along? 29 weeks, 6 days (pretend I posted this last night so this is true)
Total weight gain/measurements: 28 lbs. I seriously have zero control over my weight. I gained 7 lbs in two weeks. I cried about it.
Maternity clothes: Mike told me we could get a wholesale discount on Nike and my first question was "does Nike make maternity clothes?!" He got irritated.
Sleep: Still love sleep. After "sleeping in" till 7 every day this week on vacation, waking up at 5:30 am this morning was BRUTAL. Also, I have yet to take a nap this week, which is depressing, but we have been so busy!
Best moment this week: It was such a good week! We went to Florida! Trisha got married! We got to move our flight back a day because of Tropical Storm Bill! We spent some time with Mike's Aunt Nancy and family! I overcame (somewhat) my fear of the beach! And I had a doctor's appointment today, which confirmed Evelyn is still alive. (FYI there was no doubt except in my anxiety-ridden mind.)
Miss anything? I HAD A VIRGIN STRAWBERRY DAQUIRI ON THE BEACH AND THAT WAS SO FREAKING LEGIT. It totally made me feel better about not having a mango margarita for nearly 8 months now.
Movement: Lots of movement and it's starting to hurt when she's purposeful about it. My summer school kids (and Mike) are used to me randomly saying OW! and looking at my stomach all offended. OBV she's doing it on purpose.
Food cravings: Fruit. Mike just took me to the store so I could get mangos, strawberries, blackberries and watermelon. I would have gotten more, but he was in a hurry to get back to the US Open.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Sometimes things don't sit well, but I seem to be doing a little better. I did NOT get sick at birth class last week, and that was a first.
Gender: Baby girl.
Labour signs: Definitely had a Braxton Hicks in Walmart last week. I dramatically threw myself on top of the shopping cart and made mom run and grab me water. It was hilarious, but painful at the time.
Symptoms: Definitely having swelling, but my blood pressure is nice and low. I thought I was over being emotional, but I cried over an hour today...sustained....so.....not over that.
Belly button in or out? Closer and closer to flat!
Wedding rings on or off? Off, though my hands are significantly less swollen now that we are back in Texas.
Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy, because VACATION! But I sobbed like a baby today so still weepy.
Looking forward to: We are touring a birthing center next Tuesday, and I am very excited to see what that is like. Amanda showed me my invites for my church shower and I am SO excited for that, even though it is still a long way off. Idk, nothing exciting is happening in the next few days, really, so I guess I am looking forward to a nap tomorrow afternoon.
