'Tis the Season...to be 30 weeks!!

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's promise in the rainbows :)

Food Cravings: grape jelly uncrustables with milk! :) hot sweet drinks usually intrigue me too, like hot cocoa, tea or Sbucks!

Food Aversions: No, I'm usually good and hungry for anything!

Symptoms: I think I pulled a tummy muscle or something because it hurts on a certain spot. When I first noticed it, I freaked out because I couldn't get her to move after that. I was worried I over did it lifting or something. No other real symptoms, though!

Belly Button: Getting flatter. I still Don't think it's going to pop out.

Happy or Moody? Oh so happy! Praise God for Christmas coming up! HE is the reason for the season!

Nursery Progress: Just waiting for furniture. I'm getting super anxious. Can't wait to wash, fold and organize her clothes. I'd do it now but it's just too soon.

Looking Forward to: Christmas!!!

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
