Maternity clothes: This question is getting a bit redundant. Yes, I'm wearing them probably 70% of the time.
Stretch marks: none that I see.
Sleep: The joys of 330am potty trips have begun. I'm still, very well rested in the morning, but will randomly roll over and realize I have to get up.
Best moment this week: Finding out with Hubby that we're expecting a beautiful and healthy little BOY! We were only partly shocked because of the dreams both of us had prior to knowing. I'm so thankful he didn't have his legs crossed this time!! His heartbeat was right in "boy range" at 141 compared to the 160's I was being told at my regular checkups (hmm, Dr. are you sure you know how to use that thing??).
Movement: I feel BabyBoy moving everyday but differently each time still. He kicks/headbutts still mostly on the right but randomly on the left too. Sometimes it feels like bubbles and other times it feels like "knock knock HELLO!!" I LOVE the knock knock ones. :) Hubby still can't feel the kicks, but I'm hoping it'll be pretty soon.
Food cravings: I feel like I'm missing out on something wonderful here. I want to crazy something crazy and delicious, but things have been pretty normal.
Food aversions: I'm down to chicken (mostly home style grilled-blehhh) and mushrooms. Olives I can handle, occasionally.
Gender: Only about 140 days until I meet MY SON! :)
Labor pains: No. Round ligament pain is still going on mostly in the morning and when I stand up too quickly.
Belly Button in or out? In. I took my belly ring out on Monday for the u/s and haven't put it back in. My belly looks much cuter without it (not to mention is more comfortable), but I don't want to lose it once pregnancy is over.
What I miss: Home and holidays with my family. I want babyBoy to know his aunts and uncles and grandparents and crazy extended family. But it sucks that we are so far... especially this time of year.
What I am looking forward to: A few things. Christmas in just 4 short weeks, Hubby feeling baby movements, and planning little mans nursery! Since I believe babyBoy sent me the dreams about him being a boy, I think he's quite literally my dream come true. And that's my inspiration for a nursery. :)
Weekly Wisdom: If the only prayer you ever said was "Thank you," that would suffice.
Milestones: BabyBoy is now the size of a papaya, or heirloom tomato. All of his organs are fully formed and he's now starting to hear and recognize voices. The doctor said he's about 8.5 ounces now and measuring 2 days ahead of his due date. Without further ado, here are a few shots from our ultrasound this week.
Little mans profile. Well, they tried to get his profile, but he was looking right at us. Can't wait to see his smile :)
BabyBoys handsome little feet.
Aaand the money shot. Before your chin drops to the floor, there is some umbilical cord in the front of his... um, goodies. But he is without a doubt, our little man <3
this makes me SO excited! and i can't wait to be his auntie! <3 love you all!
