Total Weight Gain: 22 pounds
Maternity Clothes? Yup, mostly.
Stretch Marks? They seem to be everywhere but my belly.
Sleep: Not bad. I was pretty hot last night, though.
Best moments: Buying a couple of new bras! That are the correct size! (Hah.) Dude, they're nice. And they're nursing bras. I also got a cute maternity bathing suit, so we've gone swimming a few times.
Missing anything? My waistline. I see all these cute outfits on TV/online that wouldn't work for a pregnant gal.
Movement? Yes.
Food Cravings: Taco Bell, Chipotle.
Symptoms: My feet grew a little :) I wear size 5, so going up a shoe size is definitely not an awful thing for me.
Belly Button in or Out? Out.
Happy or Moody? I have been randomly depressed a couple of nights as reality has struck: I've gotta push this baby out in two months! But over all, I've been happy.
Looking Forward to: My first appointment with the birth center. That's right, I'M GOING FOR IT. Any advice from moms who have chosen drug free birth/natural birth/home birth/water birth is completely welcome. Encouragement is appreciated, too!! We went for a consultation and tour this past week. Truthfully it made me a little nervous, but still excited.
A lot of people keep asking us if we've picked out a name. The answer is no. We have made a list of possible names, but I don't want to choose a name until I see her face and interact with her. It's funny because I didn't always think this way. Before I was pregnant I had a few girl names in mind that I thought I would definitely use, and the moment we found out we're having a girl, those names lost their appeal! My mind might change again, which is ok. It's just a little annoying because I want to call her something other than "Baby" now. In the meantime, I guess I can practice saying different names to see what sounds the best.
