How far along? 32 weeks.
• Total weight gain: +10.5 lbs.
• Maternity clothes? This shouldn’t even be a question at this point.
• Stretch marks? Still just the teeny tiny one on the pierced belly button skin.
• Sleep: I’ve been having the WEIRDEST dreams. And waking up having to bolt to the bathroom!
• Best moment this week: Getting Friday off of work for our Dr. Appts. J
• Miss Anything? Not being so large, my balance, easily being able to paint my toenails and the ease of being able to get up from sitting/laying on the couch or floor.
• Movement: ALL THE TIME. It’s getting awfully uncomfortable at times. I can literally feel the baby bouncing on my bladder at times, it’s such a weird sensation.
• Food cravings: I’ve been eyeing up a recipe for homemade cinnamon rolls, just need a weekend day/morning to prepare them.
• Food aversions: Nothing specific
• Gender: Still unknown!
• Labor Signs: Nothing.
• Symptoms: Dizzyness has set in this week, along with being SUPER tired all the time. Other than that, just the typical aches and pains from standing too long.
• Belly Button in or out? Out.
• Wedding rings on or off? Still on, and still no signs of swelling.
• Looking forward to: Finding out what the scoop is for the c-section vs natural birth. But I’m also stoked to get to spend an hour having an ultrasound. Can’t wait to see our active little peanut!
It has been a rough week. Some annoying things going on at work that makes me really excited to take a break from all of it in the next month or two. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my job and most of the people I work with. *Most* being the key term. Drama in the workplace gets old, like really really old. I miss the days of working almost entirely with men. Funny that I leave a female-heavy industry to work in the construction industry, and I have more drama-driven women to work with.
With that off my chest, I’m BEYOND excited and anxious to find out what our ultrasound and appointment with our physican holds. I’m curious if the placenta has moved, if we’ll have split opinions between Dr.’s (we are seeing two different ones for the two appointments) and what the outcome will be. After learning a ton in just a few weeks of our birthing classes, I think I can honestly say I’ll be okay with either option. But I JUST.WANT.TO.KNOW. I’m totally type A, and this unknown for the last 4 months is driving me crazy. How do you plan dates for baby showers/maternity leave/finances/wrap up work projects/school stuff/daycare/life in general when you have the strong possibility of having a c-section 3-4 weeks early?! Eek. So excited to know – and to spend the weekend with my husband making all these decisions on things that we’ve been having to push off “until we knew” how/when our baby could arrive.
Am I over thinking this? Or am I just this big of a “planner?” This is our first, so I’m sure our anxiety over this is normal, right?!
Have a fabulous weekend all! Update with the status of our babe’s arrival and photos for next week.
