Here is the official update!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 37 Weeks
Size of baby: Watermelon (6.5 lbs, up tp 22 inches)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +27 lbs. The heat is killing me. I feel like a blimp walking around :)
Maternity Clothes: Pretty much staying in my PJ's unless I have to brave the heat and leave the house during the day lol. Still wearing my trusty shorts and gap tshirts. I am so stylish! Looking forward to shopping for new clothes post-baby!
Gender: GIRL!
Movement: It's official. She's out of room. It hurts pretty much every time she moves. Especially in my lower left. My doctor seems to think that is where her hand/arm/elbow is and OMG this girl loves to move.
What I miss: Feeling like a normal human being :) With the rising temps I have become so uncomfortable. It hurts to sit up, lay down, walk, everything lol. I also pulled something in my stomach getting out of bed too fast the other morning. It feels like a horrible strain and has lasted for two days now (thankfully getting better with each day). I suddenly can relate to all of you "work-out" people who do too many crunches (this has NEVER been me) but I have to think that carrying a watermelon in your stomach with the pulled muscles hurts a little worse :) Thankfully, I have felt pretty great until the last couple of weeks. I can do it a little longer!
Cravings: Ice cold milk. Icee's (blue and red mixed together).
Symptons: Pregnancy brain! I am slowly losing my mind. All of the following are things I have done the past few weeks...
-Paid for $140 worth of groceries and walked away with an empty cart. The cashier and people behind me just looked at me like I was crazy when I finally realized I forgot everything I had just bought.
-Made a grilled cheese for lunch and burnt it completely black because I sat down at the table and forgot what I was making.
-Took Leighton to get her 2 year old pictures and left her outfit and bow at the studio. Only realized when I got home (a good 30+ drive from the studio). Sigh.
-Reached the checkout line at Target only to realize I sat my phone down somewhere in the store. Took me twenty minutes to back track my shopping route and thankfully find it in the housewares aisle.
-Made it home from said Target trip and realized I forgot one of my bags (only had two) at the checkout lane. Called to see if they had it and they couldn't find it so I had to drive back to the store and look for it myself! Good news is I found it.
Even though I suddenly feel VERY pregnant I still don't feel ready. I am so anxious about labor which seems a little strange because I had such an easy experience with Leighton. I have been planning a beach vacation for our family of four for late September and I still can't believe I will have two kids. But then again, what could be better than having another little princess around the house?
Especially when they turn out this cute :)
I actually HAD Henry at 36 weeks 6 days! So that means at this time in my pregnancy I was holding a baby. I am sure she will be ready at 39 weeks! Can't wait to see the sweet girl.
