How far along? 33w1d 83% complete (am I really reading that right?!)
Which trimester are you in? 3rd trimester, woohoo!!
How many days until your due date? 48 days! It's flying by...
How big is baby? Size of a pineapple.
What milestones has your baby reached this week? Baby girl's bones are hardening and she's still just working on gaining some pounds :)
What are some of your pregnancy symptoms? I AM SO TIRED! And achey, and I have to pee all the time. I also feel a lot of pressure when I walk, like my belly weighs a ton! Some days, I just can't catch my breath. And the heartburn... :(
Any cravings? Still crunching on ice (my dentist is going to kill me, lol), and peanut butter! I made a huge batch of peanut butter cookies yesterday!
Any food aversions? Nope.
What emotions have you experienced this week? This week has been a bit better than the previous weeks. Taking it one day at a time. Toddler meltdowns are still an every day thing, but I'm trying not to let it stress me out as much as before.
Are you wearing maternity clothes yet? Yep!! But I mostly stay home in pajamas, no energy to go anywhere, especially with a toddler in tow, lol.
Have any stretch marks? Yep... I didn't notice my stretch marks with my first pregnancy until after I gave birth (they were all under my belly where I couldn't see, and they weren't bad at all). This time, I've got about 3 or 4 really noticeable red ones. But a baby is definitely worth it :)
How much weight have you gained? 22lbs. Still within "normal". But I'd like to stay at the lower end of normal. I'm at 151lbs, and even though I started at a much higher weight than my first pregnancy, I really need to work on getting healthy after this little girl is born.
Belly button in or out? Still half in half out!
Wedding rings on or off? On and still loose!
Felt any movement? Yep! I can definitely tell when she's napping. She loves to move around any time I eat. And she gets the hiccups multiple times a day. Although I have noticed the movement has slowed down a little bit, she's still very active.
Gender? Girl.
How has your sleep been? Waking up often, usually to pee. Sometimes it's because I am too hot. Sometimes, it's just cause baby girl wants to wiggle around in there :)
Are you nesting? Somewhat. We have a lot we're going through and organizing. Also planning to get rid of a few things. We're planning on putting our coffee table in storage to give Allison more play room once we set up the swing. Also considering selling our chair that came with our couch, it's like a loveseat, but looks like an oversized chair, if that makes sense? We basically use it to stack clothes on, lol. And getting rid of it would open up the space so much!
Labor signs? Braxton hicks all the time. Any time I get up too quickly, pick up something sort of heavy, etc.
What was your best moment last week? Nothing really special happened last week, unfortunately. Other than we've mostly decided on a name, but nothing is set in stone until we see her. But as of right now, we're leaning towards Madelyn. Still unsure about a middle name, and unsure about how we're spelling it. But Ally and Maddy sounds precious together. :)
What are you looking forward to this week? Spending Easter with my husband's family, and hopefully a "date night" with my husband afterward. Dinner and a movie :)

 | Comment from stephc2010 » Posted Mar. 22, 2016 9:21am Thank you! I'm just amazed with how fast everything is going. We haven't set anything up yet for this baby. I still need to go through all of my daughter's old clothes and get them washed and ready. We haven't even bought any newborn diapers yet! Lol. When I say I've got 7 weeks until my due date, it seems far away. But when I say 48 days, I start to freak out! Lol. |
