Size of baby: Butternut Squash. I had an ultrasound at 32 weeks and he was measuring at 4 lb 10 oz give or take. So he is probably closer to 5 lb now!
Cravings: I have been back into my coffee in the morning. I do about 2/3 decaf and 1/3 caffeine just to give me a little extra energy throughout the day. The weather has finally started to cool off so I love a good cup of hot coffee in the morning. We have been eating so much junk food lately. Things have just been busy so it is like 2-3 home cooked meals and the rest are out to eat. Big Mommas weight is evident of this. I really need to eat more veggies, but we just don't have time to cook at home. My goal is to eat atleast 4 days home these next few weeks.
Weight gained: 30 pounds according to the Dr at my 32 week appt. So with 8 more weeks we are looking at 40 total. I better not be over 40. Darn Holidays lol. I was 32 with Delainey and 35 with Blakely so 40 is par for the course.
Sleep: I'm sleeping good for a 5-6 hour stretch. Beyond that it is hit or miss. For example last night Blakley had to pee and woke me at 4. I couldn't go back to bed till 5:45. Then Dave was up at 6. Then the alarm went off at 6:45 to get the girls ready for school. So not super. Just getting me used to the lack of sleep though I am about to endure.
Baby Movement: He is a wild man and I feel him all day long! He was head down at my ultrasound but she said there is still plenty of room to do flips in there. At my next ultrasound at 36 weeks is when he needs to be ready and in position. I like knowing where he is located though now so I can tell what is happening when I feel movements. He gets hiccups all the time and they are so low in my pelvis, it is interesting.
How Mom is feeling: I'm feeling good. I move around slower, but emotionally feel great. Loving every second of being pregnant and enjoying all the perks of parking in the front and strangers talking to me about it. I could just eat up all the attention hahah, just being honest. I got to ride around on my scooter at Disney and skip lots of lines, people would get out of their seats for me. I truly love the benefits and am going to miss it so much! My feet get sore after being on them for a while, but otherwise fine. And TMI but I feel lots of pressure down in my pelvis, almost like it is cracking. Dave informed me it is just a ligament that attaches the 2 sides so I guess that is stretching. Fingers crossed but no stretch marks yet.
Miss Anything: Not really. We finally have cool weather so I have busted out my sweaters and boots which makes me so happy to just wear leggings with big sweaters.
Nursery Progress: The nursery is officially done! I organized all my lovely gifts from the shower, had Dave hang my last few things and we should be good to go. I bought some new fancy cameras to act as baby monitors so we are ready for him. Not that he will be in that room though for a couple months. I could still buy a few knick knacks, but it is done for the most part.
Best moment this month: Gosh I can't even remember what happened between 28 and 32 weeks haha. I think the best moment would have to be my shower. It was lovely and I did a whole post about it earlier this month. I also really enjoyed the Great Wolf Lodge Vacay, My birthday, Halloween fun, and we had our family Christmas pics done. I secretly had one taken of me by myself to act as my maternity photo. No need for an entire separate shoot. I will do a post with them. They turned out pretty good considering it was a crazy wind storm!
Looking forward to next month: Well since this month is almost half over I was looking forward to our Disney trip and Thanksgiving but we have already done those 2 things. But I am still looking forward to all the fun Christmas activities over the next few weeks. We are in the process of decorating the house, doing all my Xmas shopping, taking the girls to boat parades, the nutcracker, the Alhambra dinner theater to see Elf. Lots of fun coming up!
I am so sorry this has taken me forever and I really will try to get better at it. I need to just do it every Thursday night like I used to. Check back soon for our family pics post and a Disney recap. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
my partner and I have been trying for a baby for over two years now, We were going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months before somebody at baby center told us to contact this spell caster who is so powerful, We contacted him at this email; babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka , for him to help us, then we told him our problem, he told us that we will conceive once we follow his instructions ,but after two years of trying we were at a point where we were willing to try anything. And I'm glad we came to Priest Babaka, Because his pregnancy spell cast and herbal remedy help us, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. contact him via email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka if you are trying to have a baby or want your lover back. he has powers to do it, he has done mine
