Hold the phone… see that? 29 weeks?! I’m one away from 30! *dance* Can’t believe I’m already a few weeks into my third trimester!
How far along? 29.5 weeks. Holla!
Baby’s Size: A Barbie Car (ha!) or a Pineapple – one of my favorite fruits!
Weight Gain: 0. My appetite is slowly coming back to normal as the nausea calms down (praise the lord), but I’m learning I need to eat small amounts often to keep the gag reflex away.
Maternity clothes? All day every day. I’m pretty sure I’ve “popped”. What do you think?
Best moment this week: I went up to Northern California where my sister, mom, and best friend threw me an amazing, intimate baby shower! It felt nice to have a change of scenery and celebrate Baby Curran with family, and my sis, mom, and bestie really put their heart and soul into planning an affair I’d love. So grateful!
We also got to check on our gal at the perinatologist last week, and she’s measuring perfectly and we even got a 3D shot of her cute little face. It’s always a relief to “see” the baby and know all is well.
Miss anything?
- Sleeping on my stomach
- Being able to eat a lot. I know this sounds dumb, but I ate a whole Chipotle veggie burrito bowl last week and regretted it for many moons as I just don’t have “room” in my belly anymore, so it was an uncomfortable few hours as I digested and felt like a python that had eaten an antelope.
- Not being achy! The lower back pain has intensified as I pop out.
- My pre-pregnancy brain. I’m definitely more forgetful and have to write tons of lists.
Movement: All the time!
Food cravings: I haven’t indulged in this one yet, but pop tarts. I always love cereal, fruit, and greek yogurt. I haven’t craved anything super weird though, yet.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Strong smells, and I’m most susceptible to the yuckiness immediately after I wake up. Grocery shopping and walking past the fish section was not pleasant last week. The heat continues to be a challenge here in the valley as I can’t be outside for long before I start feeling gross.
Gender: Girl!
Labor signs: None. Please stay that way.
Symptoms: Nausea, lower back aches, heartburn, insomnia, super tired, reduced appetite, feeling like a turtle on its back
Happy or moody most of the time: Not barfing daily means I’m perking up! I’d still like more energy but I’ll take what I can get 🙂
Looking forward to: hitting 30 weeks (holy crap) and starting to sift through all the stuff we’ve acquired for baby. It’s time to start setting up the nursery! We also start our baby care classes this week. It will be fun to be diapering dolls and stuff with the hubby, knowing that in just a little while we’ll be diapering on a real, live baby. Wow!
That’s all, folks. Catch ya next time!
You look great!!!
Your momma was thrilled to see you and your popped out belly filled with my beautiful granddadughter! So looking forward to November when I get to hold her in my arms!
We all Love you sissy and Have I told you “Thank you so much for carrying our little grandbaby so beautifully into this world!”
Love the bump!!! 🙂
Ugh, I remember that feeling of eating tiny amounts and feeling stuffed! I was hungry all day long, but I could only eat a little at a time! The worst!!!
I am more than certain you have “popped” Wow 29 weeks already…!! SO EXCITING!
So exciting! You look fantastic. I had to laugh at the, “turtle on its back,” because it brought me back to that feeling. 🙂 So happy for you and YAY 3rd trimester!!
