How far along? 32 weeks
Total weight gain: Up 7lbs total. Yes, I gained 5lbs in 2 weeks. Su-uck. The funny thing is, when I was scarfing food like nothing, I wasn’t gaining weight. Now that I get full after 2 bites, I start gaining. Figures. Also, now laying off the milkshakes and donuts.
Maternity clothes? Yes. Still. Forever.
Sleep: I have to get up a lot more often to pee these days and Smushy has been sick this week. I got kicked out of my own bed for the first time ever. Had to sleep in her room. And this is why we got her a full size bed and skipped that toddler stuff. I think we got a whole 2 hours of sleep total last night. Of course that meant Smushy fell asleep way before naptime, and since I had an appointment, I couldn’t sleep. Now it’s naptime and she’s not tired and I want to die. So, yeah, more sleep please.
Food cravings: You know. This and that. Ok, nothing really. This pregnancy fails at food.
Best moment this week: I think my special form of nesting has begun. Nice since I didn’t have any of that the last time.
Movement: Oh yes. Much movement. Sometimes it’s so much I feel sick.
Gender: Boy. (Still.) Also boring question.
Labor Signs: None. Ish. I had one night when the Braxton Hicks were time-able and super frequent, but I just needed water and rest. All fine. No biggie.
Belly Button in or out? Out-ish.
What I miss: Rolling over in bed without pain. Oh! And putting on pants like a normal person. I’ve found I can either bend down or lift my leg, not both at once.
What I am looking forward to: I don’t know exactly. I feel anxious all the time about everything. I think I’m at the point when I start wanting to be done with this whole pregnancy mess and meet this little guy.
Weekly Wisdom: Not being able to get anything accomplished sucks unless you have an extra special awesome husband to take over and cover for you. So get one of those.
Milestones: Third Trimester! And from here on, the even weeks seem like a big deal. I don’t know why.
My nesting isn’t like normal nesting. I don’t have any urge to clean anything. Dust and mess? Meh. He’s just going to have to live with it. This is our reality. However, I am obsessed with having everything ready. Lists and lists of things I need to buy. Making sure I have enough onesies in the right sizes and weather appropriate. *Side note: March due date? Not helpful with the weather related questions. I think I only get to buy one size in summer stuff. * And I have weeks (weeks!) before my c-section, but I’ve already started packing my hospital bag. Including buying a new bag that I am in love with and getting all the toiletries packed. It is so weird!
