Pregnancy Stats:
How Far Along: 32 weeks
Size of baby: Squash. A big one.
Total Weight Gain: I think about 14 lbs. Too lazy to go check right now…
Gender: BOY!!
Movement: Did I mention he is head down?? Yay! Also, I was chatting with my friend Sierra and we both admitted to Googling “fetus seizure in the womb.” What are the babies doing in there??
Sleep: I’ve been a night owl lately! Up past midnight every single night doing God knows what. What is wrong with me?
What I miss: A non-burned esophagus. It hurts to eat yogurt. YOGURT.
Cravings: Chocolate + Caramel. That’s all I ever needed in life.
Symptoms: Reflux ALL the time, feet swelling, and my boobs are making a comeback.
Worst Moment this week: Tinsley’s mid-week meltdown. OMGah. Never want to experience that again. Also, Matt was gone for three days. Being a single mom is NOT EASY all day, every day. Don’t know how some of you do that every week… bless you.
Best Moment(s) this week:
T took a 3.5 hour nap yesterday. WOW!!!!!!!!
We went swimming with Aunt D and Leanna Tuesday. T’s swim lessons are really paying off. More on that soon!
Received a letter from our sponsor child in Honduras. LOVE hearing from those kids…it’s only every other month, but it makes my day!
Moms Night Out last night. Sometimes you just need some girl time and pimento mac-n-cheese. MMMMM…
Finally got my car inspected. It was only three months overdue.
Dress - Pickles & Ice Cream / Belt - H&M
I really, truly feel great so far. I’m happy to have made it this far with no major complications, aches, pains, symptoms, or annoyances (knocking on wood…). Pregnancy has treated me well. I still have 8 weeks to go in this NC heat, but I think I can make it without going totally crazy. Chasing Tinsley around all day is terribly exhausting (and scares me for future pregnancies/newborns), but like Michelle said at dinner last night…”What’s the alternative? If you want to grow your family, this is what you must do.”
Oh, we’re doin’ it!!! No going back now! :)
Love,
