How far along? 34 Weeks - 85% complete!
Which trimester are you in? 3rd trimester, woohoo!!
How many days until your due date? 42 days!
How big is baby? Size of a cantaloupe.
What milestones has your baby reached this week? Baby girl is still just working on gaining some weight :)
What are some of your pregnancy symptoms? Braxton Hicks contractions, my feet are usually a little swollen by the end of the day, peeing ALL THE TIME, lots of pressure and just generally feeling like this baby may fall out of me when I walk, lol.
Any cravings? Just the ice... lol.
Any food aversions? Nope.
What emotions have you experienced this week? It was a pretty good week. Mainly just dealing with the struggles of the last few weeks of pregnancy, which seems to be making me grumpy, but at least DH seems to understand a bit better this time, lol.
Are you wearing maternity clothes yet? Yep!! I do still wear regular tank tops, but they no longer cover my whole belly, lol.
Have any stretch marks? Yep... Noticing them on my sides/hips too.
How much weight have you gained? My guess is around 23/24 now, but I forgot to weigh myself this morning.
Belly button in or out? Still half in half out!
Wedding rings on or off? On, but my fingers are starting to swell every now and then which makes them pretty tight.
Felt any movement? Yep. And it's getting sort of uncomfortable. I love feeling her move, don't get me wrong! It's the best part of pregnancy for me, but feeling those little feet (I'm assuming) in my ribs, or when it's feeling like she's scraping my hip bone, it's definitely uncomfortable, lol.
Gender? Girl.
How has your sleep been? Waking up to pee pretty often, still getting about 6-7 hours of sleep total, but having trouble sleeping longer than that.
Are you nesting? Didn't get much done this last week, but I know I still have quite the list of things I need to do before she gets here!
Labor signs? Braxton hicks all the time. DH and I DTD last night and I had some pretty uncomfortable Braxton hicks for about 2-3 hours afterward, they went away when I finally fell asleep, but started up again this morning, but not nearly as uncomfortable as they were last night.
What was your best moment last week? Spending Easter weekend with my husband's family. We went to a local historic manor that hosts an Easter festival on Saturday. Then brunch and other Easter activities on Sunday. Allison had so much fun playing with all of her cousins! We also did a Birthday Party for all the April birthdays (My DH, all of his sister's and my Father In Law all have birthdays in April!), and they surprised me with a cake welcoming our baby girl and everyone brought cards and money to buy our stroller! I was definitely caught off guard by it, but I am so thankful! Also, my parents are planning their trip to visit us this summer. Spring and Summer are looking great for my family! :)
What are you looking forward to this week? My appointment today with the midwife :)
I attached a picture of Allison in her Easter dress. This was the best picture I could get, she wouldn't stop moving :)
