::Baby G Take 2:: Week 34!



How far along? 34 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 27 lbs. at today's visit

Stretch marks? Yes and getting a few more

Symptoms: Heartburn as usual. Also had some serious pains this weekend as I was walking around Target. I had to stop and catch my breath. I could feel her moving so I think it was her just stretching inside.

Sleep: Sleep has been good for the most part. The Snoogle is back and finally feeling good again thankfully!

Best moment this week: A few more things done in the nursery, also got a sneak peek at Macie on an ultrasound. She is head down and the lump near my ribs is her butt.

Have you told family and friends: Yes everyone knows.

Miss anything: Missing being comfortable and having stamina to play with Henley.

Movement: Kicks have slowly changed into rolls and stretches.

Food cravings: Nothing specifc.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Have you started to show yet: Yep

Gender: GIRL! Macie Paige

Labor Signs: Nope but Macie stretching at Target this weekend did scare me a bit.

Belly Button in or out? Out for sure

Wedding Rings On or Off? Off

Happy or Moody: Happy, a little moody at work and pretty tired.

Looking forward to: completing the nursery---just a few more things. Ordered fabric for the crib skirt today, need to make her a blanket and planning a sign for one wall in the nursery this week. Next week is year end at work and we are going out of town for my BFF's bridal shower so whatever I don't finish won't get finished until 37 weeks so I am going to try my best to knock some things out this week. 

Took a few pictures after our weekly this time with me and Hens.



Have a great week!

::Baby G Take 2:: Week 33



How far along? 33 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 24 lbs. at the last visit, no doctor's visit this week so I'm not totally sure.

Stretch marks? Yes and the ones I have seem to be getting a little darker. It's totally ok though as I know they will fade like last time (hopefully--fingers crossed)

Symptoms: Heartburn!! Discomfort all over also. I almost ripped my pants off in the car leaving work one day but had to stop at the store and knew I wouldn't be able to get them back on. I just want to be comfy! I did order two pair of maternity pants. It's so late in the pregnancy and I wasn't going to spend the money but decided $50 is worth 7 weeks of comfort. 

Sleep: Sleep is good for the most part, a little hard to fall asleep here and there but overall getting decent sleep. 

Best moment this week: Getting all of the baby stuff out of the attic. All of the NB cloth diapers are washed and the NB and 0-3 clothes are washed and put away. Feels so close!

Have you told family and friends: Yes everyone knows.

Miss anything: Not really

Movement: Tons---starting to feel like she is just rolling instead of kicking.

Food cravings: Panera cookies---my cookie is back and pretty and pink for Valentine's Day. Henley and I shared one at a little Mommy and Hens lunch yesterday. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Have you started to show yet: Yep

Gender: GIRL! Macie Paige

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button in or out? Out and you can even see it in my side profile!

Wedding Rings On or Off? Off. I've had a dry patch under there for a few weeks and it gets worse with the rings on so I have just decided to go without.

Happy or Moody: Happy! :-)

Looking forward to: Having Macie in my arms. It's starting to feel real (which also makes me panic---lots to do!)

On my to do list:
- Going home outfit for Macie
- Henley and Macie matching outfits
- Minky blanket for Macie
- Crib Skirt
- Hang nursery pictures
- Pack hospital bag, diaper bag, and Henley's bag 
- Big sister gift for Henley
- Purchase a few more outfits and pj's for Macie

Not terrible but it will be nice to have it all done and ready to go. My goal is by Valentine's day to be totally done and just waiting.

Have a great week!

Mere :-)

::Baby G Take 2:: Week 31


How far along? 31 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 24 lbs. I feel like I grew a ton this week!

Stretch marks? Yes, applying lotion twice a day and hoping they fade quickly once Macie is here!

Symptoms: Heartburn like something fierce. I think I have to totally cut out tomatoes. I have had a few rough nights, even with Zantac and Tums. Both times I had tomatoes. 

Sleep: Sleep has been decent except for the 2 nights of severe heartburn. Starting to get out of bed 3-4 times a night to pee though---boo!!

Best moment this week: Heard the heartbeat today which was awesome. Also got more of the nursery done!!!  (...and Henley is now potty trained!!!)

Have you told family and friends: Yes everyone knows.

Miss anything: Not really

Movement: So much---really starting to feel like there isn't any more room. I just don't know how I am going to keep growing, hopefully I slow down some soon.

Food cravings: Nothing really

Anything making you queasy or sick: Felt sick with the heartburn a few times but nothing nauseating

Have you started to show yet: Uh just see above lol

Gender: GIRL! Macie Paige

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button in or out? Out and you can even see it in my side profile!

Wedding Rings On or Off? On but snug

Happy or Moody: Happy! :-)

Looking forward to: Finishing my Etsy orders so I can work on some projects for the nursery. I also have a few outfits in mind for Macie and Henley I want to get made before I have her. (Big sister and little sister outfits!)
