Total weight gain/loss? I've got a doctor's appointment next week so I will know by the next post!
Have You Started Showing Yet? Yes
Maternity Clothes? Yes
Stretch Marks? Yes
Sleep? Okay, definitely getting worse. My belly has gotten to the point where I can't sleep on my stomach comfortably anymore. I sleep on my sides but I still have to switch sides often because my body gets so sore!
Wedding Rings On or Off? On but getting tighter every day...
Miss Anything? Getting a good night's sleep.
Food Cravings? No specific food cravings but I have been craving water. I know this is because I haven't been drinking enough and now my body is getting to the point where it needs even more.
Food Aversions? I'm starting to eat more meat since I need the protein. I've been eating oatmeal with protein and other protein enhanced foods to get enough each day, I hope.
How big is Baby? According to Glow: 15.7inches and 2.9lbs. or about the size of a cabbage.
Gender? Surprise
Movement? Increasing each day it seems but it is definitely not cute when the baby wants to stretch and I need to bend over or curl up.
Labor Signs? No
Pregnancy Symptoms: Occasional heartburn, shortness of breath even if I just go up and down the stairs at our house, and my sciatica hasn't been as bad so I'm definitely grateful for that!
Belly Button In or Out? In
What I Am Looking Forward To: The baby shower!
Upcoming Appointments/Events: The baby shower my sisters have planned this weekend! I also have my 8 month Doctor appointment as well next week.
Weekly Wisdom: Eat more protein. Since I've been slacking in this department I really need to make sure I get at least the minimum amount of protein recommended since this will help with the rest of pregnancy and delivery!
Best moment this week? The Childbirth class and Hospital tour Tommy and I went on last weekend. We learned a lot and it has definitely helped me decide what I want in my Birth Plan. Also, I feel a lot better about my decision with sticking to the hospital we chose since they let the mother make decisions about how she wants to labor and deliver.
Baby Bump Picture: I finally have a picture of my baby bump for the people that were asking. Not the most flattering thing but I don't have any good mirrors in the house besides this one and the bedroom one which does not work for these pictures! I'll try to get some better pictures in later weeks.
