Total weight gain/loss: Up 24 per last Dr. Appointment.
Stretch marks? They aren't as bad as I thought they would be at this point. No New ones. Sandro does rub my belly every night. I highly recommend Aveeno for the itching sensation.
Sleep: My anxiety is starting to get to me. I was thinking of all these different things when I try to sleep. It doesn't help if baby girl is in a moving mood though. It makes the anxiety worse. Some nights I pass out and I am fine. Others it takes a few hours and even then I wake up a ton of times to use the restroom. Also my hands hurt. It's hard to explain...but they really hurt. They fall asleep in the middle of the night and I wake up hurting.
Best moment this week: Finally finishing a big project here at work. It's finally coming to a end. Time to start another big one with the same client.
Movement: Some days she is like on a soccer field. It's starting to increase more and more. I worry that something is wrong but Sandro tells me that it's just the baby getting bigger and running out of room. Hence why the belly is growing and I am feeling her more. I guess it's mother nature to worry.
Food cravings: Milk. Holy crap milk. I can drink it all day. I got milk three times in a row here at work.
Labor Signs: Nope..Many weeks away from this. (11 weeks)
What I miss: Not feeling like a old lady. My knees, feet and hands literally hurt. Maybe this is why I am having cravings for milk and calcium because my joints hurt. When I lost the weight, (which was about 28 pounds), I was feeling pretty good. My body didn't hurt and my energy level was crazy high. So I think gaining this weight is putting a stain on my body. Mainly my joints.
What I am looking forward to: Getting maternity pictures and starting the birthing classes later this month.
Weekly Wisdom: Sometimes finishing a project will take a lot more energy. I have so many projects I want to start but I am scared I will never finish.
Milestones: None really. Though I am two weeks of way to be in the single digit weeks before giving birth. Wow. It's just moving so fast.
Sometimes I think people think I am just overweight. I still get side eye when I tell people I am pg and I am due in October. While this is actually a good thing since that means that I don't look pregnant it still kinda of frustrating since people seem not to believe me. There is a girl in my office that is due in September and she her belly is huge! She looks like she is ready to pop. Then you see me, being a tall Amazon, looking just a little overweight with a small bump. I have told a few of the sales people and they can't believe that I am due in October. Maybe they are just being nice. It could be the fact that I was 30 ish pounds overweight when I started this job and I wear my clothes bigger than the other girl but geez, I wish I had a baby bump that look like I was 7 months pregnant. Me and the other pregnant girl where comparing notes in the restroom yesterday. While we are experiencing similar things she looks like she is in a lot more pain than I am. She is about 5 foot tall so I am sure the strain from her belly is making her grouchy. I, on the other hand, am feeling pretty good. Expect for my joints of course. But no pain. I just just be thankful and shut up. ;)
And here is a picture of the onesie that my dad and Norma sent along with some bibs. So cute.
Here is the picture of the bed skirt that Norma made. Isn't it pretty?
