Week 32



Baby birthing class complete.  Officially ready to deliver a baby... not!

How far along?  32 Weeks

Maternity clothes? Yep. Officially borrowing lounging clothes from Josh now.

Stretch marks? Still no.

Sleep? Ok.  I had a two and a half hour round of MMA on Saturday night/Sunday morning, so that made for a long day on Sunday.

Best moment this week?  Josh had his last Tuesday night class!

Movement? As evidenced by the professional karate, boxing, and taekwondo happening... yes.


Food cravings? Still just eating significantly more sweets than normal, which is probably still less than the average non-pregnant person.  Definitely blessed to not have a sweet tooth.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope


Have you started to show yet? Definitely


Gender? Boy


Labor Signs? I learned this weekend that I have been having contractions.  I didn't think I had, but learned that the times that my belly gets hard are actually contractions.


Belly Button in or out? Turning into a little bit of an outie.


Wedding rings on or off? Barely on.  I might need to start looking for an alternate.  I could definitely keep them on technically, but my weird ring claustrophobia is kicking in.


Happy or Moody? Happy.  Does it count as moody if you start crying from watching the birthing video in class???


Looking forward to?  Last shower this weekend, Thanksgiving, and keeping our annual Black Friday shopping tradition.


Miss Anything? Sitting comfortably.  Also, getting completely real for a second (stop reading if bodily functions gross you out), I miss having a normal poop.  I'm not even sure I remember what its like to not be gassy or constipated or have diarrhea.  Gross, but real.

Week 31



SINGLE DIGITS OF WEEKS LEFT!!!

How far along?  30 Weeks

Maternity clothes? Yep

Stretch marks? Still no.

Sleep? Starting to get tired again.  I am in a constant battle of how tired I am and how pathetically early I can go to bed.

Best moment this week?  Discovering that canned goods give an AWESOME foot rub.  Brought one to work and rub my feet whenever possible.

Movement? Still lots of movement.  Starting to get some obvious kicks to the ribs and bladder


Food cravings? Nope

Anything making you queasy or sick? I get full really easily which can make me feel a little sick.


Have you started to show yet? Definitely


Gender? Boy


Labor Signs? Nope


Belly Button in or out? Flat


Wedding rings on or off? Barely on.


Happy or Moody? Happy


Looking forward to?  Baby birthing class over the weekend


Miss Anything? Sandwiches and hard cider

Sleep? Getting better as my shoulder improves

Best moment this week?  Book club meeting with friends

Movement? LOTS of movement.  Definitely patterns, but times of just constant movement which don't seem to be related to anything in particular.


Food cravings? Nothing really, but sweets more than normal

Anything making you queasy or sick? Had to buy a new jumbo bottle of tums


Have you started to show yet? Definitely
