Baby's size? 5.25lbs according to a baby website
Gender? Still a baby GIRL, I hope! :)
Weight Gain? I will be honest. I have gained 40lbs now. I am honestly not concerned with that at all, but some other people seem to have their own comments/thoughts. My doctors are not concerned, so neither am I! Ready to start weight watchers this spring!
Maternity clothes? I basically wear yoga pants everyday, unless we are going somewhere, I throw on my maternity jeans, but they are getting a little uncomfortable.
Stretch marks? Showed up around the 25 week mark. They are getting more red, deeper, and itchier every day, but they don't bother me.
Belly button in or out? It's almost level to my belly now, which is crazy because I had a really deep belly button!
Sleeping? Well, let's see...this is how it usually goes....I stay awake at night until about 1-2am, and then I wake up any time around 7am-9am... I eat breakfast, watch TV, get on the computer, and then take a nap from about 11-1.
Foods I'm loving? Still pretty much anything, except BBQ. I can't stand the smell of it.
Foods I'm hating? BBQ smell, I don't know why?
Best moment this week? Saturday we had our birthing class at the hospital. I guess the best moment from that was watching Wesley put on the empathy belly and feel for THREE whole minutes how I have been feeling for a long time, haha.
What I'm looking forward to? Well, tonight we have a breastfeeding class that I am looking forward to, but other than that...I am looking forward to my doctor appointment that should be around Feb. 22. I will be 36 weeks and some days at that point, and I will be getting checked for dilatation and effacement every week until delivery!
What I miss? Right now I really miss hanging out with friends and being around people during the day. Don't get me wrong, I totally enjoy time by myself, but it gets really lonely some days, especially when I know other people are doing stuff together and I'm not invited for some reason....I mean, I may be big and uncomfortable most of the time, but I still want to have fun, too.
Symptoms? some back contractions, pelvic pain (known as SPD), getting out of breath easily, and I'm also still dealing with this sinus infection, although I am fairly certain I am at the tail-end of it...
Weekly Wisdom: This week I am going to try to remind myself that, even though I AM uncomfortable most of the time and sick right now, that I am almost done with being pregnant. I know I need to enjoy these last few weeks and there are a few things that I am enjoying right now (Anna's movements, although sometimes hurtful, etc)...I need to remember that I may never get pregnant again, so I need to try to relax and take it day by day & TRY to enjoy what I can :)
Milestones: Birthing class is over with, Breastfeeding class is tonight. At my next dr. appt. (Feb 16) I will have the "Group B Strep" test, hopefully it's negative...the next milestone I am looking forward to though is the 36 weeks appt.
Emotions: Oh my...so many emotions. I am really excited and anxious to see when labor starts and how it goes and how the birth goes, but I am also very nervous about it at the same time. I am very excited to finally meet our daughter, but I am also very, very overwhelmed with the thought of Wesley leaving on March 29th. I am starting to really get worried about postpartum depression. It would have been super-super hard on me, not being pregnant, for Wesley to leave for 6 months, but to throw in postpartum & a new baby....I am getting very worried. I know people will be here to help, but you can't replace your best friend, husband, & father to your new baby girl!
