Weeks (completed 6/28/14)

| Jeans: Motherhood Maternity Shirt: Motherhood Maternity Kissa decided to make an appearance in my photos again this week. Okay, so by decided I mean she walked past and I picked her up. She loves me ;) haha |
Maternity/baby clothes: No new clothes, but we did make a baby purchase this week! Check it out:
This is the one item we will be purchasing really before any baby showers. Simply because we would never expect anyone to spend that kind of money on us. Also, we got it this month because we got 4x the rewards points from our bank on all purchases for June. What can I say, we love rewards! Deciding on a car seat and stroller was not an easy choice. As a new parent, you really don't know what you're going to like or need. Also, you can get advice from everyone and anyone, but it will of course all be different. Everyone has different preferences, so we just went with what we hope will be best for our family. We'll find out if we made the right choice when baby makes her grand entrance.
Stretch marks? Nothing new this week.

Sleep: A solid mix of complete and udder uncomfortableness with nights of pure comfort. So I guess it wasn't all bad this week. I really enjoyed the nights that I actually got some sleep (aside from waking up to use the bathroom a million times). I think I slept through my husbands alarm most mornings. Hoping the sleep gets even better next week.
Best moment this week: All her moving around! More on that in a minute...
Miss anything? Just being able to move around easier. I honestly can't even imagine how much worse it's going to get over the next 3 months. How do women do this!? My belly is so big already!
Movement: YES!! Thank goodnes! After all the worrying from last week, it was so so great to have her move so much this week. I loved every kick and roll. It really just puts a smile on my face when I know she's being active. She was kicking and/or poking me in the weirdest places this week too. First, she was really high up compared to normal. Then she was way way far off to my right side, those movements were the weirdest feeling. She is rarely over to my left as of right now. It is getting a lot more noticeable what kind of movements she is making now too. I mean, I can't tell if it's a hand or a foot yet, but I can definitely tell a difference between kicks/punches and rolls or general body movements. John felt her a lot this Saturday night too. We were watching a movie with some friends and she was just going crazy! It was the best :)
Food cravings: Nadda
Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week!
Gender: Girl!

| Just had to throw in this funny picture of our cat. I was in the nursery reading, and I kept hearing noises coming from the giant stack of baby things that we have (a lot of which was free from my brother and sister-in-law, thank you!). Anyway, so I go over to find out what our sneaky little kitty is doing, and I just see this head popping out from the middle of it all. She kills me, just too cute and silly. Labor signs: None |
Symptoms: Let's start this off with some new ones for the week shall we? First, can we talk about rib pain? Because O M G! Remember how I told you she was a lot higher up than usual? Yeah, that = rib pain, and a lot of it. On Tuesday I woke up and literally thought I had somehow bruised a rib while sleeping. It hurt so bad, I couldn't breath without it increasing the pain level. Not a fun day, not a fun day at all. So that continued on til Thursday, mixed in with a lot more back pain as well. Also, swollen feet... and ankles... and legs. I'm not fond of the swelling, but I guess that just comes along with the fact that it's summer and sweltering hot outside. Thankfully however, my hands only swell here and there. I've been successful at getting my ring on and off everyday, but that might be because I keep our A/C on so high at home. My husband says he lives in a refrigerator. Okay, last new (and kind of old) symptom, it's been a few months but my sciatic nerve pain is coming back, so that's, you know... awesome. And on to the typical symptoms that are sticking around: congestion, acid reflux, dry skin, leg cramps, etc.
Belly button in or out? In (I'm still surprised and happy about this!)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Mostly happy? Haha, I definitely had my moody/irritable days. Especially with the rib pain this week. That first day was just a bad day.
Looking forward to: Picking out paint colors for the nursery! I keep going back and forth on ideas, but hopefully we can narrow it down this next week when we have a little extra time. Also, the 4th of July! Should be much better this year, whereas last year I was sick and in bed at 8pm. I'm excited to see some fireworks! :)
