• Total weight gain: -3 lbs.
• Maternity clothes? Definitely pants. I went on a little shopping spree at MofA this week and got a good stash of pants. Picked up a few cute tops and even wore my first maternity top this week too!
• Stretch marks? No, and I’ve been slathering on the lotion.
• Sleep: Is easy so far. Most nights I have to get up to use the restroom once, but really not too bad. Just WEIRD dreams!
• Best moment this week: Feeling our baby move (again)!! She/He was moving a TON on Thursday and I don’t think I went too long without feeling the little one dancing around in there.
• Miss Anything? Not being tired so easily. Had a longer week for work and it really wears me out!
• Movement: A ton on Thursday and only a little the other days.
• Food cravings: Not really
• Food aversions: Fish or some of the weird smelling food people heat up at work.
• Gender: Unknown… and it’s going to be that way until October!
• Labor Signs: Ha, thank God no.
• Symptoms: Tired all the time, sore back/hips/torso. I’m finally starting to notice a few differences I have to make since this belly is growing! Can’t squeeze in between spaces I normally think I can.
• Belly Button in or out? In, but getting shallower than it was!
• Wedding rings on or off? On.
• Looking forward to: Watching the bump grow!
This week we attempted to assemble the crib. Major fail. The headboard and footboard were both damaged pretty badly. I called the store we got it at, and they were super helpful, but unfortunately after opening their last one in stock they didn’t have a non-damaged set either. They didn’t see a delivery for the next 4 weeks, so I have to try to contact the manufacturer to get new pieces. Goes to show that it helps to be a planner! I know we bought/attempted to assemble it really early on in our pregnancy. But then I don’t have to spaz out about these little issues that come up.
Also this upcoming week – I get to go to HOUSTON for work! I’m interviewing candidates for a management position, and as the supervisor of the role, I get to travel to TX to meet all our candidates. The HR manager and I are going together and will be there nearly all week. I’m really excited to get there and see our office and meet some people I talk to all the time. I also will get to be “out in the field” for a day too. I get to see all the nitty gritty of what we do!
This week will also mark the 1 year anniversary of starting at the company. I truly LOVE my job, and I feel so fortunate to be able to work for such a fun, successful, growing company. The owners are so family focused and genuinely kind, my boss is an excellent leader, coach and friend and my staff is generally pretty awesome. (Hey – there has to be a flaw, somewhere!) I am so happy that I made the difficult decision a year ago to take that leap of faith and follow my instincts and switch jobs. What started out as a less than ideal role quickly transitioned into the opportunity of a lifetime. I’m currently in a role that few at my age hold. I love my role, the company, the management and the staff. What more could a girl ask for?
I’ll try to get a few pictures this week of our travels.
