This weekend I cut nearly six inches off my hair. No one even noticed. It feels WAY short to me. However, the blog carries on...
How far along? 28 weeks 1 day!
How far along? 28 weeks 1 day!
Total weight gain/loss: The doctor didn't send any compliments my way today so I imagine it wasn't good :)
Baby is the size of a/an: Eggplant or Chinese cabbage depending on which app I look at.
Maternity clothes? Yes, maternity t-shirts, maxi skirts and maxi dresses. And a pair of maternity skinnies.
Stretch marks? None yet...trying to drink plenty of water and keep lotion on my belly and thighs to try and help prevent!
Sleep: Sleep this week was still good, for the most part! We also got the gift I REALLY, REALLY wanted for M's room, the Cool Mist Humidifier to use at night. I can't wait to see how this effects either of our sleep...yes, we went ahead and put together so we could try it out before he is born.
Best moment this week: Baby shower this past weekend! It was SO wonderful to see all our friends and family there and celebrate the future arrival of our little man!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? I've decided the thing I miss most this week is NOT alcohol related, strangely enough. It's getting out of bed without experiencing pain or heaviness in my tummy region. How many days left?! :)
Movement: Continues to be daily! Doctor confirmed that he is head-down (or what I call "locked and loaded" and so I either feel little thumps just below my ribs or at my bikini line, which I can only assume are little hands. It's funny to feel him turn around to either face my tummy or face my back. My favorite is when he faces my back and then I can feel his little butt right on my tummy. Craziest thing ever.
Food cravings: Nothing weird this week! Except Chipotle sounds FANTASTICAL and Andy keeps shooting me down.
Anything making you queasy or sick: None this week!
Have you started to show yet: Yes!
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: No, although doctor confirmed today that I may be having Braxton-Hicks currently! He said he couldn't confirm 100% although he said my description sounded like them. I also watched a video on childbirth last week and can officially say that when labor signs do officially show up, I will be scared shitless.
Belly Button in or out? Still in! One of my friends was surprised by this, so I guess it should be popped by now if it were going to? I have been taking out my belly button ring during the day and putting it back in at night.
Wedding rings on or off? Mostly off this week :( Swelling sucks.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I think this week I was mostly happy!! Haha oh. Except one day. Story below.
Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy every thump and bump while they last :)
Looking forward to: Getting M's dresser this week! Our friend who was refinishing this was in a car accident this weekend and so she could not bring it to the shower. I can't wait to get it and finish up his room! It's truly the missing piece to his room and I can't wait to get things in his dresser and hung above it!
Haha so about my moody day...I had a really rough day at work and it made me emotional. I had to drive a LOT (or at least a lot more than usual) that day and then came home and was stressed to the max. Fast forward to an exhausted Sarah at home prepping for dinner, warming up leftover soup I had made over the weekend. Andy also was prepping for dinner with a pizza he'd just baked. He put the remaining pizza above our microwave so Frank couldn't get it and knocked a box of brownies DIRECTLY into my soup. Fast forward ten seconds to me CRYING. Yes, crying over spilled soup. In my defense, that shit was everywhere---all over the counter, all over the potholder, all over my shirt. I was done. I told Andy while sobbing that I didn't even want the soup. He laughed and made me leave the room. I did end up eating the soup after he cleaned it up. :) We laugh about it now, but I was super upset at the time.
We also had our baby shower this weekend! I managed to snap only two pictures the entire day: one of these fantastic balloons showing the theme of our shower, and one with the aftermath/explosion of presents after we got home! Words cannot express the love I felt for us and baby M that day. I can't wait for him to meet the world and all the generous people that provided for his life and his future needs! I also can't thank my Mom and Bob (and Allex!) for helping put on the shower. You did an incredible job and I truly loved all things mustache, including the chocolate 'staches you created. I enjoyed every moment and only wished I could've slowed time in that moment to enjoy it even more. Words really can't express the love I felt that day and so I'll just say THANK YOU to all of you who attended and made our day special.
Finally, I'm accepting guesses because I LOVE this game and enjoy reading them! We played this game at our shower and although no one guessed the name who didn't already know it, some of the answers really cracked me up. Mustafa? Meylock?? Haha, no.
Until next time!
Xoxo--Sarah, Andy and baby M
