How far along: 27 weeks!
Total weight gain: 18 honkin lbs.
Maternity clothes: Love them. I have a bunch thanks to my wonderful aunt and sister <3
Stretch Marks: None so far.
Sleep: I've discovered I can only sleep well in my own bed. We went on vacation and the bed was super fabulous but I slept terribly every night. I also didn't have my preggo pillow though so that could be it.
Best moments of this week: Going on our mini babymoon!! We spent a long weekend in Topsail Island, NC in the cutest little condo. It was absolutely perfect and the baby bump was happy and free in my bikini.
Miss anything: Energy.
Movement: Always! It's pretty constant all day long and luckily I can still go to sleep even when she is kicking. LOVE IT.
Food cravings: Bagels for dayz.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope. PTL.
Have you started to show yet: I have.
Gender: A beautiful baby girl
Name picked out?: Lacey Jo!!
Labor signs: Not for a little while yet hopefully. I get more and more petrified each week thinking about it. Definitely a lot of Braxton Hicks though.
Belly button in or out: I'd say its about neutral right now. It was really in to begin with and its almost just level with the rest of my stomach.
Wedding rings on or off: happily on.
Happy or moody most of the time: Normal? Idk really lol.
Looking forward to: The ultrasound Friday! Although I'm also getting a shot to protect against Whooping Cough (Don't judge or try and change my opinion. It's firm) and GD testing which I'm not looking forward to though. Fingers crossed and prayers being prayed that I pass the test!
Favorite thing said to me this week: "WOW. I hope your kid looks like you." -Man at donut shop.
"So do i." -Ricky
How far along: 24 weeks and 4 days!
Total weight gain: 13 lbs.
Maternity clothes: In desperate need of some. I only had a couple things but that isn't going to last me the whole summer.. lol
Stretch Marks: Thankfully my cocoa butter has been treating me well ;)
Sleep: I officially have my very own pregnancy pillow! I got the Leachco which is seriously so fabulous one of my non preggo friends came over and loved it so much that she actually ordered herself one today! It's that great.
Best moments of this week: Hearing her heartbeat at our appt. It was fun to see the Dr. chase the baby around my stomach to even hear the heartbeat long enough because she just wouldn't stop moving around!
Miss anything: My brain. My memory is just horrific.
Movement: She is right now! You can see it through my clothes now because she kicks so hard :D
Food cravings: Donuts. Although I can't eat them because they aren't GF... MY LIFE.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Apparently the Tomato soup at Zoës... It didn't sit well with me first trimester either and it isn't tonight as I type this out. I had it for dinner.
Have you started to show yet: Haha yesss. Although I feel like I have stopped growing which I don't like. I could just be growing wider now instead of straight out which is why I don't notice it as much anymore.
Gender: Baby girl <3
Name picked out?: Lacey Jo
Labor signs: Nope but I have experienced Braxton Hicks already. It's not painful (yet) but mainly just uncomfortable. My dr. said that she thinks I will experience it more than others because I have a long torso and babies likes to hang out lower when the mom has a longer torso like me.
Belly button in or out: It's in but slowly making its way out.
Wedding rings on or off: happily on.
Happy or moody most of the time: Kind of emotional actually. I've started to fear again like I did during the first trimester which is no fun at all. I just want her to be perfectly healthy and I need to trust that God has this pregnancy in His hands.
Looking forward to: receiving the fabulous IKEA skubb drawer organizers in the mail :D Delivery date is estimated for the 11th!
Favorite thing said to me this week: Probably when I left my last class ever of my undergraduate and the girls in my class didn't just say goodbye to me but to the baby. They were all so giddy and excited for me. It was cute :)
