Fruit or Veggie of the week: Butternut Squash (one of my favorite vegetables!)
Size of Baby: 15 - 16 inches, 2.5 - 3 lbs (no wonder why my bladder feels like a boulder is sitting on top of it!)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have not stepped on a scale this week and with Christmas this weekend I am going to try to be careful to not blow up like a whale. :) 'Tis the season!
Gender: Boy :)
Movement: A lot of it! He is getting so much stronger. It is beyond awesome to put my hand on my belly and feel his little foot reach out and kick me.
Stretchmarks: Still not a problem. :)
Sleep: Crazy!!!!! This is the main thing I am struggling with lately but in all reality it is just preparing me for motherhood. Sleeping on my side is causing my hips to hurt in the morning or maybe it is just my body expanding for our sweet one to come out. Christmas break is right around the corner so hopefully I can rest up then.
What I miss: Walking in front of my husband! Everywhere we go it seems as though I am always two steps ahead of Chad and constantly bug him to keep up. (I get this fast paced walking from my mother!) Now, the tables have turned and I am the one that can't keep up with him!
Cravings: Nothing special this week.
Symptoms: Still mild swelling with socks so I do my best to go without and have even been wearing slippers at work. Hormones are a little wacky...
Best Moment this Week: Shannon got to feel Ben move! We were at the Howard's family Christmas gathering and he kicked her twice. She said it felt like a hiccup. :)
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out: Still stuck in the middle of in or out.
Looking forward to: Christmas break! And Christmas this weekend, of course! Chad and I both have two weeks off from school. Yay!
Random Updates:
- I have been prepping stuff for my classroom for my maternity leave. Thankfully, I have some third grade girls that are all about helping, so they are saving me a lot of work!
