Baby Update - 33 wks

How far along? 32 weeks 5 days
How big is Baby? About 5 lbs
Total weight gain: 25lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes, and out growing some which is never fun!
Stretch marks? yes, if you count old ones! yuck
Sleep: Pretty good these days.
Best moment this week: Just feeling better! After fights a head cold for several weeks I thought the pregnancy was dragging down too soon, but now that my cold is gone I feel like a whole new person. Still 8 months pregnant but lots more energy!
Movement: Lots of it. Elizabeth has taken to "playing" with the baby. She thinks its so cool the baby will poke her back. Logan on the other hand, when I talked about the baby kicking, thinks he needs to kick me too, in a playful way but still not good!
Food cravings: Steak - must be that anemia creeping in
Gender: Surprise!!
Labor Signs: None but have noticed Braxton Hicks(sp?) contraction here and there.
Belly Button in or out? Still in but starting to flatten. Elizabeth gives me updates on this now since the rest of my family has outies and mines always been an inny she finds this intriguing.
Milestones: Seven weeks oh my!! I'm starting to realize in a blink of an eye I will have three kids! Maybe it's time to start thinking about names!

Dr visit today went fine. No real comments on my blood sugar levels so I guess that means I'm doing fine with my new "diet". I'm measuring 34wks so a little ahead of schedule but no shocker. Go back in two weeks.

Summer time yet?

I think my kids are ready for warmer weather!

Happy Heart Day

Happy Valentines Day!!

Last week I found out I failed the gestatial diabetes screening so now i have the joy of testing my glucose 4 times a day and watching my diet. Eating healthy is never a bad thing...just hard sometimes! Biggest concern the dr has with it is the baby getting too big too fast. So they'll be keeping an extra eye on the little ones size!
