Shake, rattle & roll

Middle of the night peeing is inevitable while pregnant.  I did not realize said peeing would wake up bambina at crazy hours of the night.  I've been attempting stealthy pee ops (in the dark) to avoid her 2 am party sessions.

Last night I forgot.

'Ol girl partied so hard, she gave herself hiccups twice today already: 3am and 7am. Lol.  I am tired, but chuckle thinking of her cute lil butt hiccing away in there.  I keep wondering how she can kick me in 3 places at once... very intrigued to watch her as a newborn and check out her little ninja moves!

Week 28 bumpdate

Its the **~*THIRD TRIMESTER!!!!*~**

How Far Along: 28 weeks, baby!

Size of baby:  Almost 15 inches and just over 2 pounds.  In veggies: a cauliflower!

Weight change: + 26

Maternity Clothes:   I've been living in sweat pants & everything stretchy.  My 'long' shirts that I thought would work forever are becoming too short!

Movement: getting karate chopped all the time now!  Baby likes to 'ride dirty' (as daddy says) by sitting low but every now & then I get a good punch in the ribs or gallbladder.  I've noticed she likes to get real active when I'm trying to sleep or nap, especially when I get up during the wee hours ;)

Sleep: still depends on the day.  Some nights I'm out like a rock, others I lay awake for awhile.

Symptoms: ooooooo my aching back!  Lower back is usz ok unless I do too much walking or sitting wrong (like on a bench or stool.)  My thoracic is in rough shape.  Think the boobies are taking their toll!

Cravings:  I finally gave in to my pink animal cookie craving.  They were ohhh so tasty!

Innie or outie: Yesterday it became apparent my cute, deep innie will no longer be!  I ran around with cousin Lisa here squealing about it.  The thin part is getting thicker & the inside is tender... I say in 2 weeks or less it'll pop!

Favorite Moment This Week:  my belly def looks like a preggo belly!  No mistaking ;)  we finished up Bradley class and are on the search for a doula.

Worst Moment This Week: its getting real!   In 12 weeks or less bambina will be here! !!!  Think we are both starting to feel the pressure.

Looking Forward To: baby shower on Saturday! !

Daddy update: daddy's thinking about selling his beloved jeep to focus on the family.  Whaaat!!

32 week bumpdate

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 32 weeks, holy cow!  The weekly countdown is into single digits; 8 left! !

Size of baby:  a honey dew: almost 17" and about 3.75 lbs.  She has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz) !!

Weight change: somehow my count is different from the midwives... they say +23 so I'm going with that. ... sounds much better than reality.  ;)  I did officially break the 200 threshold last week. Oof.

Maternity Clothes: Unless I want my belly to hang out!  ;)

Movement: 2-3 weeks ago I waa getting karate chopped like mad!  Sometimes so hard it would wake me up or seriously scare the crap outta me.  I still get that, but this week ol girl's moving has turned more... graceful I guess.  I can tell she's wriggling and not just kicking a puncging bag.

Sleep:  apparently I snore!  Poor J... ;/

Symptoms: my ligaments have poor me in the hurt locker.  Some days it hurts to out my pants on or get in the car!  I also feel my SI joint clicking when i walk.  I got a yoga ball & that thing has saved my spine though.  I can sit for more than 15 mins at a time!

What I miss: laying on the couch.  Can't take it.   Matter  of fact, the couch in general is one big evil piece of furniture.  Sitting hurts, too.  Too squish.

Cravings: cinnamon rolls!

Aversions:  not food.... though I have been feeling more nauseated lately.

Innie or outie: Innie, barely.  I might get lucky with an innie the whole time because of the 'overflap'.  Though I feel it protrude when I cough.... haha.  J is afraid to touch my belly button. I think he thinks it might explode.

Favorite Moment This Week: nesting has kicked in!  I went shipping to stock up on household supplies.  Also spent the weekend making hair bows, then arranging them by color.  wow.

Worst Moment This Week: met with our doula. ... holy crap that birth thing is coming!

Looking Forward To: Have an appt tomorrow and maternity pics on Saturday!

Daddy update:  daddy's hanging in there:)  he's been super sweet and taking very good care of baby-mama!  ♥
