I’m still here! Still very much pregnant! Still working my booty off and enjoying my down time as well. This summer is quickly coming to an end and I’ve just finally made an appearance at the beach by myself last week. Past summers that’s what I would do with all of my free time - go down to the beach! I guess with being pregnant it’s more hot outside than it actually is and I’d rather just stay indoors with the A.C. Not to mention I’ve been sleeping in as last as I possibly can since I can’t even really fall asleep until 1 in the morning lately. But things have been great! We had an amazing baby shower that I can’t wait to express once I get some pictures. I didn’t take ONE picture but luckily others did. It was all such a blur, it flew by but it was so wonderful and I am so beyond thankful for that day and everyone involved. Seriously. I guess I will get down to my weekly update that I’ve been slacking on. I’ve also been horrible with taking pictures. I think the Lazy Bug has officially bit because I don’t want to do anything wahh.
HOW FAR ALONG// 35 weeks! ONLY 5 LEFT. WUT?!?! Just a few weeks ago I was completely taken by surprise that I was officially 8 months pregnant. I couldn’t believe it and now there’s only a few short weeks left. Time has seriously crept up on us.
BABY SIZE// Little girl is the size of a pineapple! I love it! I also really, really, love pineapple.
TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN// I’ve lost track! The last few weeks I have only gained one pound each doctor visit and I hear it is often common to gain at least one pound each week towards the end.
MATERNITY CLOTHES// It’s getting harder to find clothes to wear to work each day but at home I have invested in some of THEE comfiest, lightweight jammie pants. I have a few pairs actually that will transition their way to becoming the perfect mommy pants too.
STRETCH MARKS// My skin is still holding strong and as soft as can be!
SLEEP// Not so great this week. I’ve been so hot and I keep having the same damn reoccurring dreams that constantly wake me up.
BEST MOMENTS THIS WEEK// Since sleep hasn’t been so great, its been nice to just lay and relax during the day. I haven’t had any crazy plans so it’s been verrry laid back!
MISS ANYTHING// I was just thinking the other day how I miss my normal body. Don’t get me wrong, I totally love this pregnant bod and don’t even really feel pregnant half the time but lying in bed is when I feel like a completely different whale of a person. Just hugging Max now is difficult because my belly is such an obstacle to get around! Of course, I know I am going to miss my bump so much as soon as this pregnancy is over.
MOVEMENT// Lots of movement this week! I’ve gotten a few kicks that have shocked me to the point where I’ve made an audible “ow”.
CRAVINGS// Lots of ice and lots of spicy. I can’t get enough of chewing on all things ice. I sip my drinks as quickly as possible before all of the ice melts so I can crunch on it! I’ve also been eating too many acidic/peppery things that have given my heart quite the burn…
SYMPTOMS// Well heartburn like I mentioned above, one sore vagina, and an achy belly here and there.
BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT// It’s still in! Cute little thing, not going to lie.
HAPPY OR MOODY// Still happy! Not too much I can complain about. Max always manages to make me smile and laugh at the littlest things. I have gotten more moody and whiney but pshhh - I’m allowed to be.
LOOKING FORWARD TO// Finding a freaking place to live. That’s one thing that I have done daily and it’s driving me bonkers - looking at listings and calling everywhere for a nice place to move into only to be disappointed. Like, tears are flowing peeps. Its beginning to turn into a nightmare but Max and I are optimistic in which things will work out as planned. Fingers crossed here soon!
