It's kind of difficult to tell how big I am in this picture because of the baggy shirt I have on, but I definitely feel as though I've gotten bigger since my last post.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 36 Weeks
Size of baby: 18 1/2 inches long and weighs around 6 pounds
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 20-21lbs
Maternity Clothes: Yes-all maternity pants, and some maternity shirts. I'm really enjoying wearing tights as much as possible.
Gender: Boy
Movement: Yes, he is one active little fella. Lots of movement all over, pain in my ribs and pressure down low.
Sleep: I've hardly been able to sleep the past week. My indigestion is so awful that I generally can't fall asleep. Then once I do I wake up to use the restroom (the other night was 5-6 times) and then I can't get back to bed. I've been coming out to the couch at 3am so that I don't wake up my husband with all my tossing and turning.
Symptoms: Lots of indigestion, it's been more difficult this time that with my last pregnancy. Lots of heavy pressure in my pelvis, extreme pain at the base of my ribs..OUCH!
What I miss: Sleeping on my TUMMY and being able to eat normal meals. Meat still doesn't sound all that good, I'll be glad to eat a big steak after this pregnancy. :)
Cravings: Chocolate. We've gone through several bags of TWIX bars in the last few weeks and also Sunny D.
Best Moment this week: Having my maternity photos taken with Jackson. My friend and boss, Becca Pento, took my photos, and I'm so lucky to have her in my life as a fellow mommy and friend. She is so talented when it comes to photography, so I'm so excited to see how the photos turned out! I had so much fun snuggling with Jack, and it made me realize what a wonderful and sweet bond I have with him.
What I am looking forward to: Holding our sweet little angel (I can't wait to have a baby again), and cuddling with Jack every second I get before we become a family of four. Also, looking forward to seeing how Jack is with the baby.
