32Weeks Total Weight Gain:   I don’t have a scale but my baby app says Ishould be gaining a pound a week now. This means I have 8 pounds more to go,more or less. Last week when I saw the doc, I was told all my weight gain isgoing straight to the belly and nowhere else- that’s definitely refreshing tohear! Maternity Clothes?   I don’t have anythingnew. I have been wearing a lot of dresses with leggings and I am mostcomfortable with that. I LOVE my maternity jeans and wouldn’t give them up foranything but the stretchy belly band makes my tummy itch sometimes! Stretch Marks? No…butmy skin has been itching like you couldn’t imagine! These last weeks of growthspurts could surely bring on the stretch marks! We shall see if I end up withthese badges of honor, haha! Sleep?   So uncomfortable…the goodthing is when I finally get into a comfy position, I sleep the whole night! Best Moment This Week:   The best moment this week was obviously Christmas!!I was extremely b

31Weeks Total Weight Gain:   I actually went to the doctor today and I gaineda total of 12 pound so far! I have never seen 140 on the scale before…goodthing it’s all baby! Maternity Clothes?   I’m doing very well withthe items I have. I love that I still can wear non-maternity shirts as well. Stretch Marks? Notyet, but there is still plenty of time! Sleep?   Starting to get prettyuncomfortable. I’m tossing and turning a lot but, still sleeping on my belly. Best Moment This Week:   The best moment this week was going to the mall withmy parents and David. We got to shop around and just all hang out togetherwhich was nice! David and I even looked at rings! :) hmmm! Miss Anything?   I miss being able to putmy own shoes on! It is so uncomfortable to bend over with a belly in the way. Iget out of breath so quickly trying to put my warm boots on- tying my shoes isalso a hassle. Movement?   Tons! My mom and Marc sawa huge movement and even I was shocked beca

30 Weeks!!! Total Weight Gain: The last time I checked I had gained 9 pounds total. Maternity Clothes? Nothing new. Just using the stash I have! Stretch Marks? No. Fruit/Veggie Size: The baby app says she is the size of a head of lettuce! Too cute. Sleep? It's fine once I fall asleep. If I wake up in the middle of the night or earlyyy morning, I can never go back to a comfortable enough position without struggling. Eventually I get myself to be comfy but its never easy getting back to sleep. I'm still so thankful for the preggle- couldn't do it without my pillow! Best Moment this Week: Baking cookies with my lovely friend Bethany! I got to hang out with her and her boys and we baked and watched Elf. I love sharing holiday cheer. :) Praising God for amazing friends and sisters in Christ! Miss Anything? Sometimes I miss summer but then I think about a hot Christmas and that just doesn't seem right! I've actually enjoyed the rain and loved seeing God'

29 WEEKS Total Weight Gain:  Still Just 8 pounds! Maternity Clothes?  Nope. Hopefully not going to buy anymore for myself and start buying more and more stuff for her room! Stretch Marks?  Not yet although my belly has been extremely itchy! Growth spurt maybe? Fruit/Veggie Size:  The CUTEST Butternut Squash you've ever seen :) Sleep?  I am doing better with sleep. My preggle is a life saver! Best Moment this Week:  David took me to Glendale Glitters! I had so much fun and I even got my beloved caramel apple! We brought along David's younglife guy, Titus, which was a fun addition to the night out! I loved the vendors and even got to drink some yummy hot cocoa. By the end of the night, I was ready to head home but I still had a blast! Thankful for sharing holiday cheer with friends :)  Miss Anything?  I really want to take this question out because the only things I can't do while pregnant is drugs and drink alcohol...I don't miss either of those things because I

28 WEEKS Total Weight Gain: Grand total of 8 pounds! Maternity Clothes? 2 of my tias got me a maternity shirt which I thought was very sweet! My stock is getting a little bigger but I still wear other non maternity shirts too. Stretch Marks? Thankfully, this remains a firm NO. Fruit/Veggie Size: Chinese Cabbage this week! Sleep? I have been pretty frustrated this week because almost every day I have woken up on my back! This has never happened not even when I wasn't pregnant! I don't understand why I turn over but I do! I have read that lying on your back is not good, especially this far into pregnancy. When I wake up on my back my back feels extremely sore and I can barely move! It is so painful- a pain I haven't felt before. If I make it through the night on my belly, I wake up feeling good and they same goes for sleeping on my side. The only time I have trouble with sleep is when I end up on my back. I'm not sure what to do about this other than just
