How far along? 29 weeks
How big is the peanut? Squash
Total weight gain/loss? 0!! Finally!! But I gained 4lbs last week and 35 so far
Maternity clothes? Yep
Sleep? Not bad, only getting one time most nights to pee
Best moment this week? Feeling her on my sides of my belly, I think she was stretching.
Symptoms? My right wrist is killing me in the morning when I wake up. I also have some bruising on my right side in my bikini line. I saw the doctor this past Friday and she said it wasn't bad but when I said I was waking up a lot on my right side, she said that was probably why I had bruising there and the pressure of the belly isn't helping. Baby girl apparently likes to hang out more on the right side than the left.
Food cravings? Everything. I started having a Kashi brownie for dessert each night. They are made with sweet potatoes and black beans, so I feel less guilty about eating them
Food aversions? Nothing
Gender? Baby girl
Labor signs? No way
Belly button in or out? All out
Movement? Lots. Yesterday (Saturday) she started at 2am and I finally got out of bed at 7am. I hope this isn't her pattern!
Wedding rings on or off? On sometimes, if it's cold enough out, they can fit over my fat knuckle. If they don't fit, I'll wear my grandmother's ring.
What I miss? Bring able to eat a meal without feeling very full. Also being able to get out of bed or just move around in bed. It's really hard to turn from side to side and really hard to get out of bed
What I'm looking forward to? Next Saturday we are smoking a bunch of meat and my in-laws and on Sunday we are going to a fall festival. Love this season!
Milestones? Nothing I can think of
Bump?
The end is near! Well, 3 months near.
How far along? 28 weeks
How big is the peanut? Eggplant, she was 2lbs at our 25 week ultrasound, so I think she has to be just under 3lbs by now
Total weight gain/loss? I don't even want to go there! I'm up 35lbs, already. I don't care, I'm healthy and so is baby girl. I really think I'm just going to stop weighing myself.
Maternity clothes? Yep and I had to buy some larger pants *crying face* and some long sleeved tops. I need to find some cheap sweaters!
Sleep? Not bad. I've only been getting up once a night to go to the bathroom
Best moment this week? Joe & I went to a consignment sale this past weekend and we got an Ergo carrier for $50, a rocker & stool for $50, and a bunch of baby clothes! I also met a great lady who was taking pictures, she is looking for mom's who want her there when the baby is born for those first pictures and she's offering 1/2 off for both sessions. So it would normally be $150 for the birthing session and $150 for the infant session but I'll get both for $150! Now I just have to check if she can be in the room with us. I really want those first pictures when we meet our daughter, especially Joe's face. He's getting so excited. Last night he watched a live birth online and was reading articles for hours. I love that he is a guy that loves to do research on things and he's really taking this seriously! I am very lucky to have him as a husband.
Symptoms? Braxton hicks and some bruising in the lower girly region, where my leg meets my 'ya know'. Not sure what that is from, maybe from baby girl kicking me so hard......
Food cravings? Everything (see weight gain above)
Food aversions? Nothing
Gender? Baby girl!
Labor signs? Nope, just some BH's
Belly button in or out? all the way out, it's pretty cute!
Movement? Lots of movement, like rolling from one side to the other movement!
Wedding rings on or off? Now that it's chilly out, my rings fit some days. No way am I getting my wedding band on first thing in the morning, so I wear my grandma's ring most days.
What I miss? This week I miss sitting comfortably and being able to tie my shoes
What I'm looking forward to? I get my Rhogram shot this Friday, not looking forward to that but I get to ask some questions I have

How far along? 27 weeks
How big is the peanut? Eggplant/Rutabaga
Total weight gain/loss? 175lbs, up 30lbs
Maternity clothes? Yep
Sleep? So-so. Baby girl does not like when I lay on my left hand side. She must not have read that article saying it's the best sleeping position ;-)
Best moment this week? More movement, I am feeling little feet & legs now. It's freaking me out a little but she's over 2lbs now and only getting bigger so I better get use to it
Symptoms? Crazy weird dreams! A few examples are: I get up from the toilet and it's all blood. I pulled a dog bone out of my gums. Joe driving me and his father to Milwaukee but I didn't want to go so I jump out of the car. His dad calls his sister to tell her we are getting a divorce because of this. Just the weirdest dreams I have ever had and I'm believing some of them are real. I could of sworn on my life that Joe showed me a video of a baby moving in a mom's belly but when I asked him, he said nope. It was so real!!
Food cravings? Everything
Food aversions? Nothing
Gender? Baby girl!
Labor signs? Nope!
Belly button in or out? All out
Movement? Lots, movement from one side of the belly to the other!
Wedding rings on or off? Pretty much off :-( my wedding band & engagement ring won't fit over my knuckle. I have a ring that Joe made for me for my wedding present that fits my ring finger. My grandpa gave me my grandma's wedding/engagement band after she passed away so Joe made that into the most beautiful right hand ring with sapphires in it so it was my something blue on our wedding day.
What I miss? Being able to bend over and put on socks and tie my shoes
What I'm looking forward to? My mother-in-law is throwing us a baby shower in early November and she throws fantastic parties, so I'm very excited for it! Now I need to find a pretty dress that isn't a muumuu
Milestones? 27 weeks is the 3rd trimester some websites say, I think it's not till next week but I'll go with 27 weeks
Bump? It's getting bigger. I need to buy a black bra in this bigger size, you can see my tan bra under this black shirt!
Wow, this pregnancy brain is getting the better of me! I was so gun-ho on doing these updates on Saturday when my week changed, now I can't remember to save my life!

How big is the peanut? A head of lettuce
Total weight gain/loss? 173lbs, up 28lbs
Maternity clothes? Yep, only 2 pairs of yoga pants and a few long sleeved tops that are non-maternity but the pants are getting a tad too tight
Sleep? Pretty good because we were on vacation the week of Labor Day, so I got to sleep in everyday
Best moment this week? Had another ultrasound, baby girl is looking great and is already 2 lbs! I also had my first baby shower this past Saturday. My cousin is due 3 days before me, so we had a joint shower

How far along? 24 weeks / 25 weeks
How big is the peanut? Papaya / Eggplant
Total weight gain/loss? 170lbs / 171lbs. I'd be very happy if I stopped gaining now, but I know that won't happen. I'm going to stop looking at the scale soon
Maternity clothes? Yep, maybe 1 or 2 non-maternity pants
Sleep? last week & this week I have been sleeping horribly. My hips are killing me and I have to move every 30-60 minutes, and when you are this big, you can't move w/o waking up
Best moment this week? Joe finally felt her move! I was laying in the bedroom and on my left side, she was kicking something fierce. He jumped a little when he felt her move, he thought I just pushed my stomach out. He felt 2 kicks and the look on his face was priceless. He has been emailing baby (like the Google commercial) and I'm sure he emailed her this
Symptoms? A little icky 1st trimester blah feelings a few days last week
Food cravings? Everything (see weight gain above)
Food aversions? Nothing (see weight gain above)
Gender? Baby girl!
Labor signs? Nope! Although I do think I've had some braxton hicks but not enough for me to stop and really think much of it
Belly button in or out? Flat but less out than last week. The top part is the only "out" part
Movement? Lots! Kicks, punches, flips. You name it, she does it about 4 times a day. I love it! At first it felt very weird, still does sometimes. It still takes my breath away every time. My mother-in-law saw my belly move last night when we were over there
Wedding rings on or off? On but getting tight
What I miss? Sleep, I guess I better get use to not getting any for awhile
What I'm looking forward to? We have an ultrasound this Thursday and then my gluclose test :-( but then we are going out for dinner, sushi! I hate fish so I'll be having tempura seafood
Milestones? We reached V-Day (24 weeks)! If baby was born now (no ideas baby!) the doctors would do everything to make her survive. With today being Labor Day, I want NO SIGNS of LABOR!
Bump? And both are with makeup! What a treat. Week 24 is before we went to a family wedding and week 25 is when we were going to Taste of Melrose, we got baby girl a onesie she'll be wearing there next year
24 Weeks
25 Weeks
