29 Weeks {Butternut Squash}



How far along? 29 Week
Total weight gain: 19 lbs so far. 
Maternity clothes? That's all that will fit.  Time for some spring time clothes.  Getting a little warm here in Tx. 
Stretch marks? Not yet, Thank goodness! Hopefully they will stay far, far away.
Sleep: Pretty good. Can't complain to much. {Just my husbands snoring, but I guess that doesn't count.  Not sure if I am just sleeping lighter because of the pregnancy and I am just now noticing it or if it is really getting worse.}
Best moment this week: Ordering the last piece of nursery furniture.  {The glider}  Her room is coming right along.  When all is finished, I will post a final picture.
Miss Anything? Just a nice glass of wine and being able to sit on the couch without getting this nerve pain down my left leg, oh and bending over normally to pick something up. The list could go on and on, but it's all worth it.
Gender: Girly Girl
Movement: Yes! It's by far my favorite part of being pregnant. Since she is getting so big I can feel other movement besides kicks and jabs. I can feel her squirm and roll. Feels soooo neat!
Food cravings: Flammin Hot Cheetos!! {I can't get enough}
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still pasta.
Labor Signs: Not yet, thank goodness!
Symptoms: Leg cramps and stiffness. I am constantly changing positions. Sitting or sleeping. Just plain uncomfortable. Add shortness of breath at times to this weeks symptoms. Not fun! 
Belly Button in or out? In, but getting closer to getting flat. :)
Looking Forward too? My ultrasound on March 8th! And my first shower on March 3rd!!!!!

Miss Anything? Went out to dinner tonight at a mexican restuarant and I caught myself staring at the ladies margarita on the rocks at the table across from us.  YUM! I can't wait till I can have one of those again.    I also miss bending over to pick something up rather than squating.

25 Weeks {Eggplant part 2}




How far along? 25 Week
Total weight gain: 14 lbs so far.
Maternity clothes? Most definately! By a few more pieces every couple of weeks. I feel like I wear the same things over and over, but there just isn't a wide selection to choose from out there.  If I wasn't a teacher, I would be a maternity clothes designer. :)  
Stretch marks? Not yet, Thank goodness! Hopefully they will stay far, far away.
Sleep: For the most part still sleeping pretty good. I do wake up several times a night to relieve my bladder :) and to change to the other side. Can't really just roll over anymore, it WAY more of a process.  This past week I woke up with a terrible pain in my upper tummy.  After talking to other mommies and research I think it was just a really bad cramp from Aubree moving higher up and making more room for herself.
Best moment this week: Feeling more movement.  Just love that part of being pregnant.  Also a piece of Aubree's nursery furniture coming in. :) Her room is starting to take shape. Just in need of some organization.
Miss Anything? I glass of wine and my old clothes. I never really thought I had the best wardrobe, but now that most of it doesn't fit I'm kinda sad I can't wear it anymore. Can wait till Aubree is here and I can get back in shape!
Gender: Girl
Movement: Most definately! I'm starting to feel it more often and more firm movements. Also got to see her moving from the outside.
Food cravings: Still the same... Mexican food and chocolate milk. Not togther though. :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still pasta.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Leg cramps and stiffness. I am constantly changing positions. Sitting or sleeping.
Belly Button in or out? In, but getting closer to getting flat. :)
Looking Forward too? Aubree's nursery furniture arriving and putting it together with Mr. Spouse AND a my next appointment on February 8th.
