size of the baby: a sweet potato – 5.6 inches & 6.7 ounces (getting so big!)
gender: still unknown – 2 weeks till we find out!
maternity clothes: the maternity jeans are quickly becoming a staple as fall is approaching but otherwise, still wearing the usual clothes and using the belly band to rock some of my colored pants I love, however this is becoming a bit more uncomfortable. Also, my fitted dresses that zip up are finally a no go. My wardrobe is dwindling, however – like with my 30×30 challenge, it’s making it easier b/c I only have so many choices 😉
movement: nothing discernibly the little, but have more aches and ligament pains
sleep: I’ve been using my body pillow and that has been great to support my back! Still waking up to pee & having some interesting dreams, but otherwise sleeping well.
nursery: still pinning & day dreaming of what we will do! I’m getting some favorites for each gender & I know I want to have a mix of neutrals and a pop of color.
craving: nothing really except pumpkin everything still (though I’m not sure this has anything to do with little one…)
symptoms: itchy, emotional, tired. Life is throwing us some curves in the realm of business and family health so I think these things are just exacerbated b/c I just feel a bit drained. Also pregnancy brain is kicking in for sure in the short term memory standpoint!
glenn is: having some health issues of his own, so he’s not been feeling top notch. We’re hopeful to have gotten some answers and a new plan for moving forward this week!
looking forward to: Celebration Sunday for our church is this weekend as well as a social for our Sunday School class so I’m certainly looking forward to those events 🙂 Also, final plans for the gender reveal party and my upcoming birthday are underway so we’ve got a busy next few weeks!
best moments: two from last week I forgot to mention! Two good friends announced they were expecting as well so that is super exciting! One dear friend from college that has been a gem in terms of honest advice of pregnancy & motherhood, and another longtime friend from high school that is also having her first little! With this newest news, our little high school group of 8 has grown to 25 with the additions of significant others and kiddos over the past 10 years. My heart is so full 🙂 I simply cannot wait for us to be able to all gather together!
