Maternity clothes: Yes.
Stretch marks: None on my belly. Still only a few on my hips
Sleep: I do the whole roll out of bed, pee, get back in bed without really waking up now. ha! One morning I rolled over and thought about going to the bathroom, thought I heard big C go in and come back... Then I thought again about going to the bathroom and didn't have to go... So, that must have been me. haha. I asked him in the morning if he had gotten up and he said no. Good job, Jaime. Completing a trip to the bathroom without feeling like getting out of the bed. Nice.
Best moment this week: I'm stuggling here with this one. I'm pretty stressed with work and final preperations. I would have to say our uneventful weekend would have been the best part of the week. Big C got me out of the house and walking around on Saturday and Sunday. I need to walk more because I need to get at least some of my stamina back... especially with our big day approaching. My feet got swollen, of course, and he helped massage them down a bit. We did a whole lot of nothing, but it was fun just hanging out.
Movement: I woke up late one morning this week and missed my morning kicks with him... I almost started having a panic attack when I didn't feel him all morning until about 9:30... :( will I really miss the kicks and punches?? Or will I forget all about that once he's actually here and I can watch him in the mornings rather than feeling through my belly? I make a note to make sure I feel him throughout the day just to make sure everything is okay... but they aren't the most pleasant feelings.Food cravings: None
Food aversions: None. I made cheeseburgers for dinner one night this week. Woot! That's the first time I've had one (that I made) since being pregnant.
Labor pains: Hello pelvic pressure, heartburn and acid reflux. Achy back, tender feet, and sore hips that keep you tossing back and forth each night. I'm just in some regular achy-feels-like-I'm-about-to-breaky pain on a daily basis. Is this what it feels like to be "about to pop??"
Belly Button in or out? In. In some shirts it seem like my turkey timer has popped but it's really just the scar from my belly ring. I haven't dared to try to put the ring back in yet. Part of me hopes it'll stay open, the other part of me doesn't care.
What I miss: Shoes. I'm not a shoe/shopper type girl... But I miss wearing some heels and having sexy ankles... Not cankles like I have now! What I am looking forward to: Strolling my adorable baby around town and teaching him everyday as I know he will be teaching us as well.
Weekly Wisdom: Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. - Mildred B. Vermont
Milestones: Little C isn't so little anymore. It's kind of hard to believe he's approximately 18 inches long and 5.25 lbs by now... possibly more judging by my doctors "feel and measure" methods. Dr. confirmed he is head down this week and he had better stay that way from here out.
Love that photo of Peyton! <3
