Bumpdate #2- week 38

Week 38

 

Total weight gain: 28 lbs. I'm getting pretty massive, pretty quick.

Maternity clothes? Oh yes..and if I could live in pajama pants and oversized tshirts I totally would.

Sleep: I'm sleeping okay. It's pretty painful downstairs turning over. It totally sucks. Thank goodness it wasn't like this with Wyatt.

Best moment this week: I got checked last Friday (one day before I was 38 weeks) and I was 3-4cm and 50% effaced.

Movement: She is barely moving. I really hate it and I shake my belly to get her to move just to know she's okay.

Gender: It's a girl! Claire Elizabeth!

Labor Signs: I'm having sporadic contractions which totally stinks. I had them for an hour Sunday morning but then they started fading. It hurts so bad down there. Getting up and down hurts. Walking hurts. Everything just hurts.

Belly Button in or out? In, but it's really getting smooth.

Cravings: I still like food, but I feel absolutely crummy after I eat.

What I miss: Working out and being skinny.

Milestones: My bag is now packed. We. Are. Ready.

Bump/Shades of Grey

First of all, thank you so much for the congratulations on our wonderful news!

I will be 7 weeks in just a couple days and let me tell you, morning sickness has set in full force. It is worse first thing in the morning and right before I go to bed. It comes and goes throughout the day and it is truly no fun at all. I gag every time I brush my teeth and I have that gross “mouth is watering because I’m about to vomit” that just lingers. I haven’t been much more tired this go around and I think it’s due to the fact that my body doesn’t have “time” to rest with a 14 month old. I’m hoping the morning sickness subsides very soon. I swear I already look 12 weeks pregnant. I’m not even kidding. If this is any indication how I will look after the 9 months is up I am a little terrified of how I am going to look. I just have to keep reminding myself that the end product is completely worth it.

4 weeks, 5 days

5 weeks, 5 days

Wow, right? They aren't kidding when they say you get bigger quicker. I usually look this big after I eat. In the second picture I had just ate a baked potato and salad. Crazy.

We’ve been busy lately and I’ve got to do some catch up posts hopefully tomorrow. Okay, I lied…we haven’t really been any busier since my last post: date night and Father’s Day is pretty much the extent of “busy.”

Confession: I’ve just become all consumed with Christian Grey. Yup, I one of those sleazy moms who reads “porn” as Ryan calls it. I started 50 Shades of Grey on Monday evening and finished last night. Yes, I have been reading for hours on end and no I am not the least bit ashamed of it. I am lucky to have a best friend that I can talk to about it. She too is all about some mommy porn apparently…as well as the rest of the world. Ha!
