Total weight gain/loss: + 21.5 lbs
Maternity clothes?: the weather cooperated this week and made getting dressed not such a chore! how wonderful!
Stretch marks?: liza says i obsess over my stretch marks. maybe, but i tend to have an obsessive personality. why else would i detail every bit of my pregnancy for pretty much no reason at all? the right side confetti is faintly etched to the line below my belly button. just gotta wait for it to really show up.
Sleep: tuesday night i slept with the window and curtain closed so the sun/birds wouldn't wake me up.... and it was glorious! i was out solid from midnight til my alarm went off at 7:53! it made for a good wednesday thinking about how blessed i was to have slept so well! i had a dream that i was hanging out with OMG mom who writes a blog i love. i thought that was hilarious because when i woke up, i felt like i had a new friend. i know i'm not the only one with such real feeling dreams... i actually slept a lot better when chris was out of town! but i'm sure a lot of it was due to the fact that i kept the windows and curtain closed all night. i LOVE being able to still sleep through the night. i feel so spoiled!
Best moment this week: my christopher being done with school and spending more time at home with me!!! (except for being out of town this week)
Movement: i think she is actually starting to slow down a bit i think...finally...
Food cravings: they come so fast and so intensely. but i think that's a good thing because they go away pretty fast too for the most part! like if i'm craving a kit kat and i don't have one, it goes away within an hour or three. but if i have the option to indulge it's pretty impossible to resist. but then again, have i ever been able to resist food when i want it?
Gender: GIRL!!! i keep imagining her blonde. if this kid is brunette i'm gonna struggle with it because that is NOT how i'm imagining her!
What I miss: nothing.
Milestones: less than a month!!!Theme: the week of feeling more normal again
Extra: when i was picking connor up from school on wednesday one of the girls in his class started gently poking my stomach and asking "what is that?" at first i thought she was wondering about my belly button but when i asked her to clarify she responded... "that lump! what is in there?!?!?" so i told her "a baby" and she asked "why do you have a baby in there?" and i responded "i wanted a baby so i got a baby in my belly" HA! if only it was so easy!!! oh well, i guess life is easy and simple like that for a three/four year old! and then two minutes later i got another comment from a girl in passing "wow, your belly is big" ha, why thank you! yes it is! and ten minutes later a little boy that just kept touching it and running up and smacking it! ha, good thing i like his mom or i might have been more critical of his actions! and then about five minutes later i was walking the boys to the car and got another "i hope this one is a girl" comments from a random dad in the parking lot. so i told him yes, but it was my first and he went on to tell me stuff along the lines of "oh GOOD! that would be quite a roll to be on!" or blah blah blah about too many kids too fast or something. i didn't tell him that i totally wouldn't mind having my kids 3.5, 1.5 and newborn. it all came off badly... i wonder how many mom's he has insulted... i had my doctor's appointment yesterday morning. i was happy with my weight... still 152.5 so i haven't gained much in the last week or two even though i feel like i eat til i'm stuffed. i was worried about that. especially since thursday was such a rough day at work and i got home and treated myself to a nasty pizza. oh my goodness it was so delicious!!! my doctor said i'm at a 1 and 50% and that although the baby is head down, she's not really settled there real well so she still may move... although hopefully not! my belly is measuring on target... 36 cm for 36 weeks pregnant. baby's heart beat today was 160. i think that's all from the appointment. all in all i'm just shocked at how pleasant pregnancy has been. i hope it continues, but even if it doesn't... i have six weeks left... tops!
I feel like a lot of people (men especially) are so uncomfortable with pregnant women that they feel compelled to comment on it and make an ass out of themselves in the process.
ReplyDeleteHow much do strangers come up to you and touch your belly? I'd start carrying a fly swatter.
wow, what a lot of belly comments from the kids. when you actually have the kid, are you going to journal each week? I have really liked this, probably because you're my sister, probably because you're funny and quirky too.
