Maternity clothes: I’m hoping to get a few more
things possibly, especially since I am probably going to be getting a lot
bigger in my third trimester!
Stretch marks: Nope, still ok on that front!
Sleep: Still good, luckily still sleeping through
the night most of the time. The
chiropractor did mention that having to sleep on my side all the time could be
part of the cause of my back pain…definitely can’t wait for that symptom to be
gone!
Best moment this week: Had a few this
weekend! Finally getting to go to the
chiropractor and get an adjustment. I
LOVED the special pillow they use for pregnant women so that I could lay on my
stomach…too bad he said it cost like $300 lol.
Also, on Sunday night, my brother Derrick was up visiting for just a
night from Vegas, and he got to feel her kick!
She doesn’t get going crazy too often, but she started kicking a TON
when he put his hand on my belly! It was
so exciting for him to get to feel it, and for it to be more than a couple
small kicks…such a special moment J Now if only she would do that for Hesston
haha.
Miss anything: Still probably having all of our
closest grad school friends here in Logan with us! One of the couples came back from Michigan for
a sister’s wedding this weekend, and getting to hang out with them again was SO
good and much needed! These people
became our family, and having them gone has definitely made this semester not
quite as fun. Good thing we are
getting close to being done!
Movement: You betcha! She is getting stronger and bigger for sure,
so it’s SO cool to feel when she gets moving!
I’ll admit there were a couple days after having felt her really good
where I actually didn’t feel her much, and it made me kinda nervous. The nurse had told me to come in anytime for
a quick heartbeat check anytime I was worried, so I couldn’t help but take
advantage of this just for some reassurance.
Once I got into the room and she put the Doppler on my belly, she found her
heartbeat almost immediately, and soon after, she started kicking the Doppler
wand through my stomach! It was really
funny, and the nurse was saying the baby was probably like “hey I’m in here and
I’m fine, leave me alone!” Haha so glad
baby girl is doing ok J
Food cravings: You probably could guess it by
now…cold cereal lol. Lately it’s been Chocolate
Mini Wheats (the extra little ones…give them a try!) Other than that, salad and
sandwiches sound good a lot of the time.
I guess it’s good I mostly crave healthy food!
Have you started to show yet: There’s
definitely no hiding it! People still
ask me all time when I’m due…I’m just glad my baby is growing!
Gender prediction: Baby girl
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out: In, still flat
Wedding rings on or off: On, and hopefully will be
for a while
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy,
especially because the weather has FINALLY been amazing! Who would’ve thought I would ever think of 60
degrees as heaven lol.
Looking forward to: My doctor’s appointment this
week! I get to do the much anticipated “Glucose
Test” where you drink the sugary orange drink and check for gestational
diabetes. I also have to get my Rhogam shot at this appointment since I have negative type blood. I hope it doesn’t hurt too bad!
