How far along: 34 w, 1 d.
Total weight gain/loss: A lot. My face is definitely getting fat. But I love things that are bad for me... but my face is getting fat... but... I really need to make a concerted effort to eat more salads and fewer carbs.
Maternity clothes: I tried on nursing bras last week and again today and it seems they were not made for my boobs. They either give me bullet boobs and the band is too tight or they're so ridiculously big that I'd have to stuff them with a couple pairs of socks. I have to go to the Motherhood store to see what their store brand is like. Fingers crossed.
Stretch marks: Just the ones on my thigh - but they're really faint.
Best moment this week: The doc telling me today (after listening to the heartbeat) that I have a really calm, zen baby. Let's hope so!
Movement: Yup
Cravings: Sweets. Not that it's a craving, really. But we've had so much in the house after all the birthday shenanigans (Nick's birthday stuff two weeks in a row, and now I baked for our nephew's birthday on the weekend) and I just don't say no to it. Because I don't have to.
Aversions: None
Gender: No idea.
Labour Signs: Still having those really mild PMS-type cramps every now and then, but they're so light I don't even think about them. I told the doc today - she said not to worry about it.
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss: Not being pregnant. I don't want to skip the next month or anything (there's so much to do still!) but I really miss my old body. And my skin. And my old feet. And my wedding rings. And having sex with my husband and it not being so incredibly awkward that we just give up. That was an epic failure the other night.
What I'm looking forward to: My replacement starting at work next week. And then mat leave! And I really look forward to my getting my old body back.
Weekly Wisdom: Don't try to get amourous with the hubs unless you (a) are *really* in the mood to make it work, and (b) have a sense of humour
Symptoms this week: Same as last week - nothing new
Milestones: We're finished our prenatal classes and feel a little more prepared (though I'm sure we're not actually prepared by any means). I went shopping today to start gathering stuff for my hospital bags.
*New Question* On the To-Do List:
- Finish buying stuff and packing my hospital bags.
- Get on a daycare waiting list.
- Get nursing bras.
- Put some decoration on the baby room walls.
- Buy cute baby outfits for newborns that aren't pink or blue (not as easy as it sounds - honestly, I can only find sleepers).
- Figure out when/if we can do this super important Indian blessing thing that you're supposed to do at the baby shower I didn't have (stress stress stress...).
- Buy a baby monitor.
- Find a new family doctor.
- PICK OUT BABY NAMES!!! Ugh...
