How far along? 29 weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: About + 25 lbs, give or take a pound.
Maternity clothes? Yes. Yes indeed. My “large shirts” (non-maternity) I bought earlier in the pregnancy are starting to not be so large anymore.

Stretch marks? I can’t bare to even look at my thighs anymore. So I’ll continue to enjoy my stretchie free tummy.

Sleep: Not so good the past few nights. Cannot get comfortable. Where can I put my arms where they won’t fall asleep?!

Best moment this week: Hmmm. I guess NOT going into labor at the cabin was pretty cool.

Movement: Yes’m.

Food cravings: Everything high fat. EVERYTHING. I always want what I can’t have…

Gender: EVERYONE and their mom says girl. This week I’m kind of leaning boy again.

Labor Signs: See a couple posts below. The BH are fighting with my gallbladder to see which can be more annoying.

Belly Button in or out? Both. (And yes, it’s totally possible.)

What I miss: Junk food. Specifically those donuts pictured below. All I did was think about them just now, and my mouth is watering.

What I am looking forward to: My parents visiting this weekend!!

Weekly Wisdom: Gallbladders are annoying.

Milestones: Turned the corner into the 7th month!!

28 weeks.

How far along? 28 weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: About + 22 lbs, give or take a pound.
Maternity clothes? Uh huh. Although I’ve aquired a couple dresses from American Apparel that do the trick.

Stretch marks? Thighs are beginning full rebellion. Stomach is still safe.

Sleep: Lots of weird dreams, waking up on back and needing to roll over every time.

Best moment this week: Getting the crib assembled, our 2nd anniversary.

Movement: Oui. Lots of rolls and occasional pokes.

Food cravings: FRUIT.

Gender: Still thinking girl. (Although the room looks more boyish…)

Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks chilled out this week a little.

Belly Button in or out? Flattening more and more.

What I miss: After a couple sips of the hub’s High Life – REAL BEER.

What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery finalized…which could take the next 12 weeks.

Weekly Wisdom: Be prepared to stand on public transit. Most people could give two shits you’re pregnant and carrying an extra 20 pounds…which is super sad.

Milestones: The final 3 months begins now…

The camera is taking crappy pics…sorry it’s so damn grainy. I blame lack of flash. Boo is showcased in this photo as well. More finalized nursery pics are up here, as well. Enjoy. (the last 4 photos, to be exact.)

I’m a blogging machine.

Okay – seriously, I know I don’t usually post this much. You’ll have to deal with not being able to catch up just for now. I’m sure this won’t stick for too long. :)

Anyway, I have to be an attention whore for about 3 more minutes and announce two things. One, HOLY CRAP I’M IN THE THIRD TRIMESTER. Do you know what that means? I’m almost done with being pregnant. As in, in 3 months (or less) we’ll have an outside baby. I started to think about that last night as I was laying in bed and started to panic. But then, the 5 hours of sleep I had gotten the night before got the best of me and I fell asleep.

And two – it’s our second anniversary today! (Everyone breathe a collective “AWWWWWWWW!”) That’s right, I’ve been married to my wonderful hubs for 2 years now. I know it’s cliché, but it really feels like it was only a few weeks ago that we got married. It’s funny too, the weather this week is mimicking the weather when we were married – 90s and hot, sunny and humid. It’s a good thing I love this kind of weather. I can’t say the same for our wedding guests.

Anyway – what a different two years can make.

How far along? 27 weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: Still about + 20 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Werd.

Stretch marks? Thigh stretchies have increased. :(

Sleep: Not bad, but arms are falling asleep while I’m sleeping.

Best moment this week: PAINTING THE NURSERY! And getting the furniture – FINALLY.

Movement: Yes. Cervix kicks in the house. SO painful. I had no idea how much it could hurt.

Food cravings: Rainer Cherries.

Gender: Still thinking girl. (Although the room looks more boyish…)

Labor Signs: Lots o’ Braxton Hicks, probably forever.

Belly Button in or out? Barely innie.

What I miss: REAL wine. Three glasses of the fake stuff just didn’t cut it last night.

What I am looking forward to: Putting the crib together.

Weekly Wisdom: It takes much longer to paint a room thank one might think.

Milestones: Nursery is coming together!

*this week’s belly shot features our lone cat Boo-boo, nervously cleaning himself as usual.

A tease if you please.

You can look at all the new photos of the nursery on my flickr page. (The crib isn’t put together yet – I’ll add more pics with that when it’s done! Probably sometime later this week.)
