{That belly is growing!!! WOWSERS!! haha!}
How far along?: 32 weeks (aka 8 months!!)!!! Can you believe it??! Me either!
This week, Baby E is the size of a: SQUASH! Getting big!
Maternity clothes?: Oh yes! Really no other options!
Total weight gain/loss: Holy buckets... I'm definitely gaining!
Stretch marks?: Not yet, but I'm sure they are just around the corner! This belly is getting huge!
Sleep: Other than a rough weekend (from being very sick!)... I have been sleeping pretty well! I feel like God is prepping me by not letting me sleep as much as I used to and still allowing me to be able to function during the day! So, that is good... I mean, it's not super fun, because I do love my sleep, but I need to start getting used to it! :)
Best moment this week: Celebrating Mother's Day with a baby in my belly! Next year, I will get to celebrate Mother's Day with our son in my arms!!! I can't wait! Also felt really good to get our first round of thank you cards finished this weekend!
{Gorgeous Mother's Day tulips from my hubby (and son!)!}
{Thank you cards galore! Mark, Baby E, and I are so blessed! We have such amazing friends and family in our lives! How did we get so lucky?!}
Food cravings: Latest cravings have been pancakes and watermelon! I really haven't had many cravings lately... well, until this week! I, also, had a chocolate shake craving this week!
{Cravings fulfilled!! BEST husband EVER award goes to my husband, by the way!!}
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Nothing pregnancy related, but I did have a bout of severe yuckiness/ illness this past weekend! Holy yuck! Definitely not fun and I'm sure it was worse because of the fact that I am pregnant and uncomfortable anyways!
Have you started to show yet?: Um, are you blind??! hahaha!
Labor signs?: Nope. Thank goodness!
Belly button in or out?: Still in, but just waiting for that little thing to go flat and pop out! ha!
Wedding rings on or off?: Off. :(
Happy or moody most of the time?: Have my moments, but for the most part happy! Sorry if you are on the recieving end of a not-so-happy moment!
Symptoms: Same as before. Just getting more uncomfortable.
What I miss: The same things that I have mentioned before.
What I'm looking forward to: More baby showers, working on getting the nursery complete, maternity pictures this coming weekend, and the arrival of our little guy (of course!!)!
Milestones: (Based on a pregnancy app) The five senses are complete, and the last call for birth is now in progress. Your baby will be situating him or herself in the comfortable fetal position, preparing to enter the birth canal. If your baby hasn't turned yet, don't worry - some wait till the last minute. Your baby now uses up all the space in the uterus. This means that moving and turning is more difficult (and more uncomfortable for you) than it was just two weeks ago. Your child's days are now spent gaining weight from both fat and muscle as well as learning how to use their own body so your baby will be ready for the meet and greet just a few weeks away.
Weekly wisdom: Take advantage of energy, when you have it!! According to the pregnancy app, it is now a good idea to start really protecting your belly. Now that your baby takes up most of the space, they aren't as protected by amniotic fluids as they were weeks ago. So, keep that baby protected, momma!
P.S. I don't know what I would do without my understanding, supportive, and overall AMAZING husband! He has made the whole pregnancy thing so easy! I love him so much!!! Thank you, Mark, for making me a mommy and for being with me every step of the way!
Little guy, we can't wait for you to get here and to be able to snuggle you in our arms! Keep baking for now! We will see you soon-ish! Love you to the moon and back! Hugs and Kisses *from Momma and Daddy!
