32 Weeks



Baby Size: Baby is the size of a jicama. I'm not sure how big that actually is.
Total weight gain: Around 20 pounds.  Crazy.  I did still get some non maternity pants buttoned on Sunday though.
Maternity clothes?  My jeans is all. I haven't bought anything new, I'm just working with a very limited wardrobe.
Stretch marks? Nothing new thankfully.
Sleep: Ok.  Heartburn and acid indigestion or needing to use the bathroom are the main reasons I wake up.
Best moment this week: Baby girl was given a wonderful little sprinkle by our moms and sisters. They did such a great job putting together all kinds of girly "sprinkly" things!
Miss Anything?  Beer.  It's starting to get nice out and I love a cold beer on a nice summer afternoon.
Movement:  Lots!  I can sit back and watch my whole belly move now days.
Food cravings:  I'd say my biggest craving of the week was just a cold glass of milk.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Coffee and I didn't get along much this week.  I'm not sure if it was actually the coffee or the creamer though.
Gender:   Girl
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Just the usual heartburn and maybe some general discomfort. I can also watch my ankles get bigger the longer the day goes on.  Water retainage is no joke!
Belly Button in or out? Still sort of top out, bottom in.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Looking forward to: Getting all baby things out and getting the nursery finished.  It is so close. It will be nice to just finish it up and be ready.

31 Weeks



Baby Size: Baby is a coconut this week! (Seems like she would be bigger, but maybe we just have small coconuts in Wyoming.)
Total weight gain: I'm not sure. I have a doctors appointment Tuesday.
Maternity clothes? I finally broke out the maternity jeans this week.  My other pants do still button but they are to uncomfortable to sit in all day at work.
Stretch marks? Nothing new.
Sleep: Pretty good as long as I have my heartburn under control.
Best moment this week: Celebrating Mark's birthday! We sure do love him!
Miss Anything? Comfort....
Movement:  All the time.  Dance parties it seems, right around 2 AM!
Food cravings:  Nothing really.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nothing specific but I can't eat a ton or I am miserable uncomfortable.
Gender:   Baby Girl!
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Heartburn, round ligament pain on and off. Also seems like some of the sleepy afternoons of first trimester are coming back around.
Belly Button in or out? Depends.  The top of it is usually always out.
Wedding rings on or off? On, but I can tell when I'm getting puffy or retaining water.
Looking forward to: A little baby sprinkle and a long weekend!

30 Weeks




Baby Size: Baby is the size of a large head of cabbage this week and close to three pounds.
Total weight gain: Probably hanging right around the 15 pound mark.
Maternity clothes? Still none, however, I feel like my belly really popped this week.  Out of nowhere, Wednesday it just seemed like there it was.  I can't complain, I made it this far in my regular jeans and am only now just considering getting out the maternity jeans.
Stretch marks? Nothing new, hoping it stays that way.
Sleep: Pretty good as long as I am comfortable. If not I feel like I spend a lot of time tossing and turning.
Best moment this week: This week was a quiet one.  Spent most of it at home with another gloomy, rainy weekend.  I did get to spend some time with my family though and that is always fun.
Miss Anything?  Just comfort really.  I get uncomfortable so easily these days and sometimes it's hard to just relax.
Movement:  Lots and lots!  I think she is more active than Beau. At least from what I remember.
Food cravings:  Nothing really that I can think of.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope!
Gender:   Baby girl.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Heartburn occasionally, although the medicine the doctor gave me is helping with that. Braxton Hicks, I feel full very fast I think because of how high she is sitting.
Belly Button in or out? Pretty flat, mainly poking out where the bottom of the piercing was.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: Mark's birthday is this weekend and it says sunshine in the forecast!!

29 Weeks


Our lighting was really bad when we took this one...

Baby Size: Butternut Squash or about 2.5 pounds.
Total weight gain: 15 pounds last Monday at my doctors appointment!
Maternity clothes? Nope.  I looked for pants regular and maternity on Sunday and just didn't really like any.
Stretch marks? Still nothing new that I can see.  I made Mark look too and he said he didn't see anything either.
Sleep: Ok- It is getting harder and harder to get and stay comfy.
Best moment this week: It was a busy weekend but by far the best was getting to see baby girl on ultrasound twice.  Once being at the 3D one.
Miss Anything? Comfort....Does that count?
Movement:  All the time! I think she is more active than Beau was.
Food cravings:  Nothing really.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing here either!  
Gender:   Baby girl!!
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks on and off. I never really had these with Beau so they've been different to deal with. Nothing painful or out of the ordinary just a general discomfort for a few.
Symptoms: Heartburn, maybe some round ligament pain. Other than that I honestly can't complain to much.  Plus, I got a prescription for my heartburn that has been helping, especially at night.
Belly Button in or out? Sort of half and half.  The top is out, more from where it was pierced, but not so much the bottom.
Wedding rings on or off? On, although I have been getting some swelling in my fingers.
Looking forward to: Hopefully a relaxing weekend where we are able to get some stuff done.  The past few have been busy and the weather has been gloomy. This weekend looks promising for some sunshine though!

28 Weeks.



Baby Size: Baby is the size of an eggplant.
Total weight gain: Not sure, but around 15 pounds is my guess.  That's only two pounds off from what I gained total with Beau. Crazy how different pregnancy from baby to baby is.
Maternity clothes? My jeans still buttoned this morning....the only thing that makes the weight gain seem not so bad!
Stretch marks? Nothing new that I can see but I have an itchy itchy baby belly.
Sleep: Good when I'm sleeping and my brain is off.  Twice this past week I woke up about every hour on the hour with a song stuck in my head.
Best moment this week: Celebrating my big three year old Beau!!
Miss Anything? Comfort.  I feel like by bump is in such an awkward spot.  It's like holding a ball up.
Movement:  All the time.
Food cravings:  Nothing really. I got super tired this past week and I think I was low on protein and iron so I've been trying to eat foods that are higher in those things.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  No
Gender:   Girl
Labor Signs: No, but lots of Braxton-Hicks contractions.
Symptoms: Heartburn, Zantac isn't touching it.  If old wives tales ring true this baby is going to be full of hair!! Also, feeling extra puffy with water if I'm not drinking enough of my own.
Belly Button in or out? A little of both still.  It really just depends on how baby girl is laying.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to:  I have an ultrasound tomorrow and then we go for the 3D one with family this weekend.
