I'm going to try and be better from now on :)
Weeks 18-28 recap:
Total weight gain/loss: 20 (From 125 to 145) EEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!
Maternity clothes? I have a few tops, but I'm still wearing my regular clothes for the most part. I also bought some regular clothes in a size larger than normal, because for some reason the word "maternity" associated with tops makes me not love life.
Stretch marks? No, thank God! I've been putting on stretch mark cream since week 17, so hopefully it pays off :)
Sleep: I went from peeing once in the middle of the night to now 2-3 times. I'm surprised at how not annoying it is. Maybe because I can always fall right back asleep.
Best moment from these weeks: Finally feeling the baby move at 21 weeks!!! That was the most intense kick/punch ever! My Grandma Johnson rubbing my belly for the first and last time @ 24 weeks, I cried like a baby! Seeing Sally and Dean and reading to him @ 24 weeks. My mom moving back and hearing the baby's heartbeat at my appointment @ 26 weeks. My brother Greg feeling the baby move like crazy @ 26 weeks. And Nina (Lanaya) finally feeling the baby move at 28 weeks!
Miss Anything? I miss not being able to bend forward all the way. It's annoying. It also makes it hard to garden :/
Movement: Oh yea. If it's 10 PM the baby is very active.
Movement: Oh yea. If it's 10 PM the baby is very active.
Food cravings: Not really, but I am down for Mexican food at any time :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: We are going to be surprised!
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: None
Belly Button in or out? OUT now
Wedding rings on or off? on
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: happy, so happy!
Looking forward to: hitting 30 weeks so I can start a countdown :)
That's quite some growth in 10 weeks! Love it :)
You look so beautiful! It is funny when you suddenly find yourself squatting instead of bending :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Andrea is beautiful. Her father made the same comment to me just a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteAndrea is all at once creative, smart, eager, organized, loyal, fun, decisive, curious, loving and all-around just fun to be with.
As a child she always wanted to be around people; didn't like being by herself. When she was by herself she would re-arrange the furniture in her room or re-organize her closet and she re-appolstered the chair in her room (she didn't like the material). She re-e-e-eally had to do some talking to convince her Dad to let her paint her bedroom walls! And(of course)she did. She was always amazed by color; plants and flowers, animals, paint, clothes...you name it. If it had color, Andrea was interested. I think that's why she loves gardening so much. The fruit and flowers give back all those colors.
Yes, Andrea is beautiful and little powerhouse.
All too soon Andrea will have a baby of her own and she will be so proud of her little one as I am proud of her.
Momma loves you Baby Girl!
