Baby Growth: Baby #3 is about 18 inches long and weighs about 4 1/2 pounds! His/her central nervous system and lungs are just about mature. If he/she were born now she would do generally fine!
My Symptoms: I am exhausted ALOT! I get out of breath really easily and also lose my patience quickly which I try not to do, but I just can't help it!
I have a ton of heartburn. Its daily and it lasts forever.
The pelvic pain is here for good and makes sleeping pretty tough. It hurts so bad to turn over from left to right and I will get pains in the hips and a bad soreness/ache around my belly if I lay on one side for too long. If i try to sit up too much I will get awful pains in my back. It is a lose-lose situation.
I have also been getting the lightening pains as well as some pressure in my bottom like i'm about to deliver which is NO fun! That hurts.
Swelling... in the hands, feet, legs, face. Just everywhere!
Weight gain: I have not done as great watching what i'm eating this time because nothing ever really sounds good, but I have gained a total of 30 pounds and still have a couple more weeks to go, so I'm sure I will add a few more pounds. Hopefully it won't be anymore than about 5 and I would be ok with that. As long as its not an addition 15 like I did with Lakelyn!
Maternity clothes: All day, everyday!
Stretch marks: Yep.. they're old ones from previous pregnancies, but you can still see them.
Belly button in or out: flat but you can feel a small part of it like it wants to poke out. I've never had it poke out before so we'll see.
Sleep: awful, just tossing and turning all night and getting up to see a few times. So there really isn't much of it.
Best moment this week: We had a hurricane come by our coast this week - didn't make direct landfall, but had some strong winds, but thankfully no damage.
Worst moment this week: The hurricane that came through shut down the town which meant my appointment was canceled and it was a longer one with an ultrasound, NST, blood work a cervix check and everything.
Miss anything: not being in pain, sleeping, breathing, laying down, getting up easily, walking like normal, holding my babies, letting them sit in my lap, clothing that fits, i mean you name it.
Movement: This is probably my most active baby. Constantly moving, wiggling, rolling, kicking, and running out of room!
Cravings: I eat alot of cereal! Frosted Flakes.
Queasy or sick: feel good..
Wedding rings on or off: On-barely. Sometimes I have to take them off when I get too hot.
Looking forward to: Seeing the doctor and being checked actually. Its like one of those things where you don't want to do it by any means, but you want to know what is going on. I'm so torn on whether or not I will have this baby early, on time, be induced or what. I really want to make it to October 1st, but at the same time that seems like centuries away right now with the amount of pain there is. Also, would love for these 90 + degree temps to GO AWAYYYYYY! It is too dang hot to be this pregnant!
Belly Pictures: I got my maternity photo back as well as had Tyler take some more "bare belly" ones. They are a bit revealing so I will only share a few of the ones he took here and make a separate post of our maternity session as a family!
