Here we go!
How far along? 32 weeks
Baby’s size? The size of a HoneyDew
Total Weight Gain: 27 lbs
Stretch marks? Nope! I think it must be genetic because my mom never did and neither did my sister.
Sleep: I remember being so uncomfortable with E that I couldn't sleep but with this one, not much stands in the way with me and sleep (when I get it). I'm asleep the second I hit the pillow, now if I could just get E to stay asleep all night, I could get a consecutive 7 or 8 hours.
Best moment this week: Making pillows for Baby Nuunie's room. They turned out so good.
Miss Anything? Oh yes! Wine, my clothes, high heels, oh and did I mention wine?!
Movement: Oh heck yeah! I'm pretty sure she thinks my bladder is a punching bag. With E, he used my ribs. I was pretty sure I was going to be left with one less rib the way he punched and jabbed at it. She seems to be punching at my bladder as if it's a pillow you can't seem to get just right.
Food cravings: In the beginning it was green beans and now it's just anything sweet.
Gender: Girl!
Labor Signs: Braxton-Hicks contractions have started but they aren't anything to get worked up over except when I stand up only to realize my stomach feels like a rock.
Symptoms: Just tired, and cranky but what's new.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on thank god. With E, by this time they were put away but then again it was August.
Looking forward to: Just getting back to a normal routine (or at least trying to figure out the new normal).
I'm definitely in that stage where I'm out of breathe quicker so that is limiting me but I've been doing the Nike Training Club workouts and modifying them. Here's an example of one of the workouts I did last week:
Ok, so there you have it. We are now less than 8 weeks away (or at least I hope) from meeting the newest family member. I am so excited to meet her.
You look great!! It's getting so close! :)
ReplyDeleteAwe! You're looking pretty good too :)
DeleteWAIT ... I thought you were having a girl?!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm blaming pregnancy brain! :)
DeleteAw you look amazing! Way to go on continuing your workouts!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! :)
DeleteI am new to your blog, found you on the STL Bloggers FB site. I sort of toying with the idea of having a third baby... since having my 4 year old I have really gotten into running and I try to do weights a couple of times a week, too... so its interesting to hear how you are staying fit while preggo! BTW, you look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love to hear that you're into running and weights! I think we moms need that outlet. :) Can't wait to hear if you have another! :)
DeleteI love these updates! And I couldn't help but laugh at your what I miss answer- I think mine was always wine, wine, wiiiiiiiiiine ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! It was like another food group to me. :)
DeleteAW!! I'm so excited for you! Doing amazing and truly helping motivate me as I'm 7-8 weeks behind you!!! Eeeek! Keep lifting girl!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Ladies! Just trying to stay sane! :)
DeleteLookin' good! Sorry about the rib, but at least there's wine in your not toooooo distant future. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Soon enough, my pinot noir will be in my hand. ;)
DeleteI think that you look fantastic! If I was pregnant I would miss wine too. :-)
ReplyDelete:) Thanks! The sacrifices we make.
DeleteLooking good!!! Do you think you'll have the baby early? I'm really loving lifting right now too. Why didn't I do this in previous pregnancies??? It's so much easier on my body (ahem, my pelvic/crotchal area) than cardio!
ReplyDeleteI reaaaaalllly miss wine. I had half of a glass last night due to a stressful day and lame BH contrax (hoping it would help relax me a little) and it just gave me heartburn. Can't say it was worth it.
You look radiant!
ReplyDeleteYou are a very beautiful mom-to-be! So envious! I hope you have a beautiful baby as well.
