32 Weeks EIGHT months!


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 bummed to miss Christmas service at church but I loved seeing myfamily. A lot of my cousins and aunts got to feel her moving which wasawesome!! Everyone loves her already and it makes me feel amazing.

Miss Anything?  I miss younglife. I knowthis has nothing to do with pregnancy but I think about it a lot and I missgoing to club every Monday, seeing the kids and just having a blast. I alwayslook back on my younglife days and laugh when I think about the fact that Davidand I met through younglife! Haha, good times- I definitely plan to go back someday!

Movement?  To tell you the truth,sometimes I can’t get this girl to slow down! It feels like she is ready tocome out right now- she is starting to pounce on my bladder, punch my organsand use my ribs as monkey bars (with her feet of course since she is head downnow!) :)

Food Cravings:  Food in general. But I've been particularly liking PB&J's and fruit snacks lately!

Food Aversions:  Seafood.

Symptoms:  I have not had heartburnyet! I’m convinced that my little girl is bald. My co-worker is 2 weeks behindme and she has heartburn like no other. Other than that, I’ve had bad crampsagain- one night I flew out of my bed because it was so painful!
Belly Button:  It is in!

Happy or Moody?  Happy and anxious.Getting closer to birth and I have a million things going through my mind whenit comes to delivering naturally. I know for a fact that it is what I want todo but it’s also extremely nerve racking. Praying God continues to work in me.I know His hand will be on us, come delivery day/night.

 
Nursery Progress:  Hernursery is ready for furniture, hopefully getting that in the next week or two.She also got more clothes! My friend Lindsey’s sister also gave us a blanketand a box of clothes. Our girl is going to be extremely adorable in all hercute outfits! Cannot wait!
Looking Forward to:  If all goes as planned, David and I will have enoughmoney saved to get a 4D ultrasound! I cannot wait to see my baby girl’sfeatures and movement! I thank God EVERYDAY for giving her to us even though weare so UNdeserving.

20 Weeks!

20 Weeks Little Bean: So my baby is not a bean at all, in fact, he is the size of a banana right now and I love these little comparisons because it allows Gracie to really connect with baby and visualize the growth. When we had our anatomy scan on Monday, the guy told us that the baby is measuring 1 week ahead of schedule and he is a whole pound now. Right now, the baby is able to swallow and is producing baby poop (meconium) so there's that! Symptoms: I am getting my energy back but I am still getting sick each and every morning. It was the same with Gracelyn so I'm not surprised. I can't even remember when the nausea subsided last time. The good thing is that it's only in the morning and then I'm fine for the rest of the day as long as I keep snacking and don't let my stomach stay empty for long. I swear I am feeling Braxton Hicks already which is so crazy to me! Every once in a while my belly gets as hard as a rock which I also don't remember fr

26 WEEKS

26 Weeks Total Weight Gain:   Total of 5 pounds! I got weighed when I had my check up on Tuesday and I gained 3 pounds since last week! I wonder if it made a difference that I had my shoes and jacket on ;) Maternity Clothes?   Thanks to my cousin Jami, I now have more maternity clothes! Couldn't be more happy! Now I have a few more things to wear! I now have a total of 6 pairs of maternity jeans/pants! Stretch Marks?   Not yet! Sleep?   My preggle is a life saver! The preggle even allows me to sleep on my tummy! It is so relaxing and so comfy since I'm not putting any pressure on my belly. Best Moment This Week:   Normally David and I meet every Sunday for church but this past week, we actually got to go together which was a nice change. :) After church we ate lunch and walked around the mall. It was fun being able to just hang out together. We didn't even look at any baby stuff while at the mall, we just enjoyed each others company!  Miss Anyth
