Total weight gain: 16.5 pounds. I think with the weather cooling off I got rid of all that water weight from last week. 16.5 lbs still keeps me right in range though!
Maternity clothes? Yes. I'd say I wear maternity shirts about 50-60% of the time and maternity bottoms about 10-20% of the time.
Sleep: I slept like a baby this week. (Minus the night we went camping - I spent that night lying there waiting for morning to come.)
Best moment this week: Meeting with our doula, Karra. I could spend hours just chatting over coffee with that girl.
Miss anything? This week I am missing running. With the weather cooling off, it's perfect running weather, and I have the itch to go. I haven't kept up with it so even going for a 1 mile run just kills the lower back at this point. Instead, I get excited watching my friend Nicole keep up with her running and biking even at 20+ weeks. She was smart to stick with it!
Cravings: No strong cravings this week. Although carrot cake with cream cheese frosting has passed my mind a couple of times.
Symptoms: These nasty, painful varicose veins are still cramping my style to the point where I can't stand still for longer than 5 minutes without having an internal panic attack over them hurting me. I even caved in and went to Walgreens to find compression tights and was surprised and disappointed that they only carry socks.
Looking forward to: Where to start... This is an exciting week for me. I'm going for a facial with my sis-in-law, Joe's 34th birthday is coming up, and we are heading up to Upper Peninsula for a family vacation.
I am getting some major baby fever and we still have 3 more months to go! I spend a lot of time thinking about this little baby, and I can't help but get excited to someday see that little squishy body, slowly blinking and absorbing the outside world. I glanced through our calendar and realized that these next few months will be busy which means that these final weeks are going to fly by. I hope that I can be reminded to enjoy special one-on-one time with Conner and that goes toward Joe too. I admit, by the end of the night, we usually spend that time getting our own stuff done, and I need to get better at just dropping whatever I think is important at that time and really spend it with him.
Last night I ordered some new baby products which I am really looking forward to coming in. A new carseat was a must since ours had expired, but I did order a couple of items that I think will be especially nice for this little babe. Another thing I can't wait to post and share with everyone!
