Spazzy loves the baby... for now!

How far along? 32 weeks and 6 days!

Total weight gain: 22 lbs

Maternity Clothes? yes of course!  

Stretch Marks? Nope!

Sleep? awful still! Luckily I am able to nap most days.

Best moment this week: Finding out all is well with my heart! No concerns for delivery, just some medications and a follow up visit after Stella gets here. 

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Miss anything? A good night sleep, getting used to this though.  

Movement? Lots this week! On sunday I had a bath and she was jumping all over. I love it! 

Food cravings? clementines and pomegranate. Delish! 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing this week, I do have a bit of a runny nose though! Yuck! 

Have you started to show yet? Yupp! 
Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: Lots of Braxton Hicks, tired all the time but I don't seem to be getting as many head rushes anymore, thankfully!

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy this week! Less that a month until Christmas! I love this time of year!

Labour Signs: No!

Belly Button in or out? Out, way out.
Looking forward to: Meeting our baby girl and seeing what she looks like! (and Paul starting his cardiology rotation and being home a little more!!)

31 Weeks!

How far along? 31 weeks and 6 days (Sorry for the last post- again!!)

Total weight gain: didn't check this week!

Maternity Clothes? of course! Some are even starting to get small. I noticed my waistband on my jeans is quite tight now. Booo! 

Stretch Marks? Nope!

Sleep? Still awful. I doubt it's going to ever get better now!

Best moment this week: Finding out my cervix is thick and long? Sounds kinda gross, but it is a great thing! Also my grandparents ordered our glider and found out my parents got us our stroller! So thankful!!

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Miss anything? waking up without major back pain!

Movement? Still less than a few weeks ago but I do feel her often!

Food cravings? Still sugar! 

Anything making you queasy or sick? nothing this week thankfully!

Have you started to show yet? Yes!
Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: fatigue, severe lower back pain, legs going numb if sitting or standing too long! 

Happy or moody most of the time? so moody this week. 

Labour Signs: No!

Belly Button in or out? way out!
Looking forward to: not having to go to the doctor ALL THE TIME. 

Severe back pain led to me having another cervical length ultrasound this week. It seems if it isn't one thing, it's another. We are thankful that we have access to such great healthcare though and it is reassuring to know that everything is looking good. 

My grandparents came to visit this week!

30 Weeks! Woohooo!

How far along? 30 weeks and 6 days (I'm over 31 now since I'm a little late uploading the picture- opps!)

Total weight gain: 20 pounds, baby is getting big in there and I am apparently making up for lost time. 

Maternity Clothes?  Yes, very thankful for my maternity coat since we got our first big snowfall last night!

Stretch Marks? Nope but if I wear a belly band for too long my belly is so red and gross looking. :(

Sleep? awful, I'm not sure it will ever get better now for the next two, possibly more years. :P 

Best moment this week: Getting our nursery SO close to being done! Can't wait to share it with you all.

Wedding rings on or off? On and still quite loose!

Miss anything? sleep. |You would think I would be used to this! 

Movement? A little bit more this week! :)!

Food cravings? SUGAR.  

Anything making you queasy or sick? nothing! I feel like everyone else is sick right now, hope I stay healthy!  

Have you started to show yet? Beginning to feel more like a whale these days. 
Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: my back is in SO much pain these days.:( 

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy, happy, happy! 

Labour Signs: No!

Belly Button in or out? out! 
Looking forward to: Christmas!!! I've always thought of Christmas being the first sign that Stella will be making her arrival any time! I will be full term on boxing day!

29 Weeks!!

How far along? 29 weeks and 6 days- my last day in the twenties!!

Total weight gain: 17 lbs. 

Maternity Clothes? of course!

Stretch Marks? Nope!

Sleep? awful, rolling around at night is like a circus show with all these pillows around me and I do it every hour or so. 

Best moment this week: seeing baby girl again! We had an ultrasound due to decreased movement this week. She's getting huge! Turns out she's likely running out of room in there already and that could be why I am feeling less. We watched her 'practice breath'- so cool!

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Miss anything? My crazy active baby! I now have to fill out a baby movement chart two times a day. It makes me so anxious! 

Movement? Decreased :(

Food cravings?  CHOCOLATE. Hence the two pound weight gain this week. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? nope!

Have you started to show yet? Yupp, I was complaining about how hard it is to walk up stairs these days to Paul and he made the mistake of saying "well obviously, you're carrying 20 extra pounds around these days." He quickly learnt it's always best to UNDER estimate the weight gain then over. Those 3 extra pounds are golden. 
Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: fatigue- every day, all day. Also I am still a chocoholic. 

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy!

Labour Signs: Braxton Hicks daily. boooo

Belly Button in or out? Out.
Looking forward to: 30 Weeks tomorrow!!!!!! 

28 Weeks!

How far along? 28 weeks and 6 days!

Total weight gain: 15 lbs

Maternity Clothes? Of course. I'm loving my maternity tank tops paired with my maternity sweater. Great for around the house!

Stretch Marks? Nope!

Sleep? Not great, my husband has started getting cold in the night with the cooler weather. I, however, am always comfortable. We had to put the duvet back on the bed this week for him and I feel like a furnace. 

Best moment this week: HUGE visible movements! I was even able to catch a few on video. Paul said it looks like something that could be on a horror movie or some sort of alien movie. :P

Wedding rings on or off? On, and still loose actually!

Miss anything? Not feeling awful about eating 25 Halloween chocolate bars in one day. haha

Movement? tons and tons, I'm so thankful for it each and every day! It still makes me smile every time I feel her. 

Food cravings? Chocolate. I normally am not a huge chocolate fan but this week, look out Halloween candy. Sorry trick-or-treaters, I finished our 120 box of candy a week ago.   

Anything making you queasy or sick? my prenatal vitamin again. yuck. I had a major internal battle with myself this week just so I wouldn't throw up after taking it. 

Have you started to show yet? I had my first, 'oh you must be due any day now' comment this week. I think that accurately answers the question. :p 

Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: still getting faint all the time, more tired this week, also became a chocoholic this week.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy, but getting to the point where I can cry at any moment, even when I just see a small baby. weird. 

Labour Signs: No!

Belly Button in or out? oooooout 
Looking forward to: That 30 week milestone! Hard to believe it is so soon!
