Today is a HUGE milestone for me...we are in double-digits days left if I go the full 40 weeks. I will most likely not, as I am supposedly being induced at 39 weeks because of my previous history with a big baby (DS was 9lbs at 39 weeks). I remember when I started this process and the blog, and the number of days left was 245...yikes! 99 feels so much more manageable, and exciting!!! :) But AN EGGPLANT AGAIN??!!! Seriously ticker?!!? Here are my stats for the week:
Mommy's Stats:
How far along?: 26 weeks....double digits & 1 more week till 3rd tri :)
Weight gain/loss: don't know, but feel big some days, other days it feels manageable. Symptoms: uncomfortable if baby is in the "wrong place". If she is laying certain ways it makes me unable to eat or workout or be active or sleep...so I always pray when I get up baby will allow me to be comfortable for my workday. Otherwise...no symptoms.
Maternity clothes?: all ::sigh::
Stretch marks?: no! Thank you genetics!
Sleep: tossing and turning ALL NIGHT LONG! Bye bye good sleep. I'll see you when this baby starts sleeping through the night ::sigh::
Best moment this week: definitely hitting double digits & making big progress on the nursery
Food cravings: this baby loves the good stuff...so I crave lots and lots of fresh veggies, salad, fruit & yogurt. I can't get enough salad!
Gender: girl...3D to confirm soon
Belly button in or out?: in, but shallow and uncomfortable
Movement?: painful at times...but she moves ALL THE TIME!
Signs of Labor: nope!
What I miss?: my small boobs! I miss them so much.
What I'm looking forward to: my appt this afternoon and finishing the nursery painting/wainscoting next weekend so we can finally put up the crib and start the decorating
Weekly Wisdom: take lots of belly pictures! It's been so fun to watch my own progress weekly on my blog. I have so many more this time than with DS and I always regretted not having it. Also...maternity clothes can be found everywhere these days. The style is longer and empire waisted...so don't limit yourself.
Weekly WTF: WORKOUT CLOTHES ARE SO HARD TO FIND...and expensive! WTF! I refuse to spend 57.00 on a pair of maternity workout leggings. Ridiculous. Someone needs to corner the market on this untapped resource, because there isn't jack that is affordable out there. Believe me...I've done the research. Pickings are slim!
Milestones: Double Digits Baby! 1 week till 3rd tri!
Baby Girl's Stats:
Your baby measures about 9.2 inches from crown to rump and weighs almost 2 pounds now. Its hearing is fully developed. As the fetus reacts to sounds, its pulse increases. Your baby will even move in rhythm to music. Lungs are still growing but are not yet mature. Patterns of your baby's brain waves appear like a full-term newborn. It also has patterns of sleeping and waking.
