This week was all about the emotion “Holy Hell I’m Going to Have a Baby Really Soon.” I had such an amazing baby shower, but I also cried almost every night this past weekend being overwhelmed with all there is to do still. Onesies to buy! We need a bathtub! We don’t possess a single diaper! Since then, lists have been made and shopping trips have happened and I am feeling infinitely more prepared now.
Wednesday night was our last birth class, which is so sad! We’ve been taking Bradley classes for the past 8 weeks, and I remember signing up for them and thinking October 5th was so far away… and now it’s passed and we’re supposed to have a baby with all that knowledge we gone done learned in those classes. I definitely recommend taking some sort of birth class if you’re able too, it has been a huge relief to my brain to feel like I understand the possibilities of labor.
This weekend I have my BFF from Grad School (Jimmie) coming in for the weekend. His trip is literally the last thing of note until Mr. A and I just kind of hibernate and wait for Miles to get here. So incredible how fast it’s all gone and how I also feel like I’ve been pregnant for-ev-er.
Size of baby: 18 inches. Honeydew melon.
Total Weight Gain: Somewhere in the 30+ lbs range. Probably. Maybe. Who cares.
Maternity Clothes: I am super thankful I am not going to be pregnant in Winter because now that it’s getting cold it’s become apparent that none of my sweater/jackets fit. I wore an oversized fleece Wednesday morning and it didn’t even kind of cover my belly. Tank tops are cheaper than coats. #science
Gender: Little Man Baby
Movement: He is now so big that when he moves while I’m walking it can hurt! He’s definitely very wiggly and Monday he wiggled into the head-down position (Yay to him being the correct way, Boo to his feet being in my ribs.)
Sleep: A little toss-and-turny but the cold weather has been helping. I get all cuddly in my blankets and feel very happy. I am exhausted by 8pm too, it’s like 1st trimester exhaustion all over again.
What I miss: Laying on my belly! I miss it so so much right now. I am OVER sleeping on my side.
Cravings: Chocolate milk! It conquers pregnant heartburn!
Symptoms: Now that he’s turned he is back on my sciatic nerve, which hurt SO bad last night I was almost in tears. Thank God for Mr. A who ran around getting ice packs and heating pads to make everything better. That guy is a keeper.
What I’m looking forward to: A relaxing weekend with a great friend full of naps, movies, and brunches.
Hooray for Baby M being in the correct position, but boo for rib kicking. That can’t feel lovely at all! And while I don’t have heartburn I’m now craving chocolate milk!
[…] to: A quiet, unplanned weekend with Mr. A. We don’t have very many of them left! 35 Weeks 33 Weeks 32 Weeks 30 Weeks 29 Weeks 28 Weeks 27 Weeks 26 Weeks 25 Weeks 24 Weeks 22 Weeks […]
