Total weight gain/loss: I honestly haven't weighed myself since my Dr. Apt. (Do you blame me?) but I think I'm in the ballpark of 160(gulp!)
Maternity clothes: Hahaa... It might be time to get some maternity shirts. I thought I would be fine wearing my regular shirts (my regular shirts have been alot cute-er on me now that I'm round in front....) but last night when I realized that I had to suck in my tummy to get my shirt off, I started laughing....
Stretch marks: The one on my hip has grown a little. I'm not happy about this. So lets not talk about it...
Sleep: I have started waking up at odd hours for pretty much no reason at all. I have been getting up anyways and going to the bathroom. Of course I'm thirsty at that point, so we starting keeping water bottles in the room so I don't have to climb stairs in the middle of the night.
Dreams: The other night I dreamed that my sister came over with her husband and she was COVERED in tattoos. I was like, "Robin, what the heck did you do to yourself?" Of course she was all nonchalant about it, and asked me if I liked them. Well at this point I was sooo mad at her for spending all that money on full body tattoos when she has a brand new baby to take care of... The worst part was that she tattooed random people's names on her... I woke up glad to realize it was just a dream....
Best Moment this week: I don't know about one particular moment that was great, but there were lots of fun moments. Since I have been in the 3rd trimester, I have noticed that I have been way more emotional. And I think it has made me laugh more. So I can't really complain. I love to laugh. Its nice to feel like I can laugh at any given moment. I need to feel like that more often. I love being pregnant. Its just those first 3 months that are bad. (then again I haven't given birth yet...........)
Movement: Ok. She is in my ribs. More just pushing, I have only gotten 2-3 kicks to the ribs... I have to stretch all the way back to let her stretch and once I do that I'm good for a minute or two til she does it again. Maybe she isn't strong enough yet for this to hurt, but it's kinda fun. Almost like a game we play.... She likes to punch or kick (whatever limb is down there) my hips. And it doesn't hurt either but its definitely a weird feeling... She can also reach around to my side and it literally feels like someone is tickling me. This doesn't hurt either, but every time she does it, it stops me from what I'm doing cause it really feels like I just got tickled...
Food cravings: I still love Sam's Club hot dogs. I had the craving for In N Out yesterday (which I haven't gotten for 9+ months.) So I went there hesitant to get a burger, but I did, (extra cheese, well done) and I just didn't look at it while I ate it, and it was really really de-lish!
Aversions: Eggs. Have I ever mentioned this before?
Gender: GIRL! Its still a girl. When we got the 3-d Ultra-sounds we double checked. I still haven't gotten the nursery done. I really need to get my butt in gear considering I have 9 weeks left! Erg! I have started to look at paint colors, and I'm thinking about painting up an Armour that we already have instead of buying a totally new dresser... I'm a little nervous to do that cause I have never painted furniture before...
What I miss: Painting my toes. or at least removing the chipped and cracked nail polish.... I guess I'm gonna have to go get a pedicure... darn... ;)
Milestones: 7 1/2 months pregnant I think is a milestone in anyone's book. Its crazy to think that I'm into the thirties(week wise)... But then again I have been pregnant so long its gonna be weird when I'm not anymore... I think I will miss the kicks and the movement... (Eating In N Out is a milestone too)
Extra: My belly button is still an Inny. When I laugh or cough it pokes out and goes back in... Then it makes me laugh even harder when I feel that... I think I had a mini-panic episode about giving birth and the idea of going to the hospital in a state of panic. I looked up a packing list of stuff to bring to the hospital and I don't have most of the stuff, which made me more nervous... Luckily Shayla and Rachael were around to calm me down. (Sadly Robin can't help me in this area, her story makes me even more panic-y) Plus it doesn't help that at this moment I do not know what hospital I will be able to deliver at. (Long story) So all in all, I'm trying not to think about the impending doom of labor....
Ahem.... here is my Bi-Monthly pic of me to end this post on a humorous note. ;)
I wanted to show off my cutsie new jacket - but it made my face look fat. Before I could go into total melt down Leah told me to take my jacket off... So this is an attempt to show me that I don't have 'Fat Face'. Leah is so sweet to me... Love her...
cute cute cute! i love the shirt you're wearing, where did you get it? also: jealous that you can wear flip flops a) in winter, and b) to work.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mo. I remember all of those worries, insecurities, and fears. Fat-face was the worst! I could have cared less about the size of my hips, etc, but the face? I feel you're pain. By the way, it totally was the jacket. You don't have fat face at all! I love you.
ReplyDeletePS - Anyone who hears Robin's story is bound to have a freak out or two! I am and I'm not even prego!
Haha, Andrea! Um, Molly, that wasn't a dream. And I put your name in a special place on my right hip. So now you can't be mad. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is the point in the pregnancy when you have to really learn to be patient with your body and what it does, how big it gets, how it stretches out. The end result is worth the trouble.
ReplyDeleteYou look great, by the way!
a belly button can be an inny then an outtie, then an innie again?! hhhahahhaaa so weird!!
ReplyDeleteyou look so great!!! i'm getting really excited for you! I can't wait to come back to Vegas so we can actually see you this time!
ReplyDeleteps, pertaining to your last post... LOVE the butterfly idea. it's super cute and I personally like yours better. less morbid, more cuteness. so fun!
