Weight Gain/Loss: Coming in at about +9 lbs give or take 2.
Maternity Clothes? Yep, and some non mat Empire waste stuff that I raided my moms closet for (she has a thing for empire waste clothes which are perfect for the skinny pregnant woman!). Also FINALLY traded out my old B cups that I was trying to shuv in to for a few of my moms bras (c's and d's) and the C barely fits! Holy crap! (maybe all this weight gain is just going to my boobs:)
Symptoms: Nothing too terrible this week! Braxton Hicks are still hanging around but not nearly as bad as they had been. I started doing one of my Bradley exercises more regularly (called the Pelvic Rock) and as soon as I start getting a lot of BH I do this exercise and they seem to slow down or go away! Who knew.
Best moment this week: MY SHOWERS!!!! I still cant get over how amazing they were and how many people just poured out love on us! Also getting to double digits for Allie's arrival! 99 days and counting baby!
Food Cravings? Nothing in particular.
Gender? Girl
Belly button in or out? Total outie. Though I swear it's getting even more "out" it looks hilarious!
Stretch Marks? Same ole ones, but some days I notice theyve gotten a bit longer. I ran out of my tummy butter (again) but before Id had the chance to buy more I ran in to a lady selling 100% pure, unrefined Shea Butter. And after doing my research on it, it really is the real stuff. So now Im going to try this out for a while (also it's a WHOLE lot cheaper). The only problem is that it doesnt have a pleasant scent at first so I might be buying some essential oil to mix with it to make it better.
Movement? Lots! She has her "busy" days and her lazy days though.
What Im looking forward to: The pregnant waddle:) Most women dread this, but I think it's adorable!
Weekly Wisdom: I have the most amazing family and friends in the world! Words cant even express what an amazing experience my showers were. My family went WAY above and beyond to make to so beautiful and special for me. I cried the WHOLE weekend!
Milestones: Allie probably has hair now!
Baby Size: Whatever comes before the eggplant because that is 26 weeks. So slightly smaller than an eggplant.
And I leave you with a shower picture of my mom and I (excuse the pixaled-ness of this picture, it was an ancient camera but we all forgot ours!)
Gorgeous as always Miss Kara!
