How far along? 27 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: let's just say I officially weigh the most I have in my entire life. Fortunately, most of it is in my stomach... and hopefully it will stay that way.
Maternity clothes? Oh yes. Every day. I can still wear my normal pants if they have an elastic waist... which restricts me to PJs, workout pants and sweatpants... As much as I'm loving the elastic waistbands now, it is NOT ok for someone my age to wear jeans with an elastic waistband. Hopefully I will feel like I have a whole new wardrobe after I return to my old size. (Trying to be optimistic here...)

Stretch marks? not from being preggo!
Sleep: Sometimes getting up for the bathroom (just depends how much water I'm drinking), surrounding myself with pillows... and having issues falling asleep because he decides to move like crazy EVERY time I lay down.
Best moment this week: being with my family for Thanksgiving and going to my first baby shower, thrown by my Mom!
Movement: Tons. After I eat, drink and before I go to bed. Usually I feel it more when I'm sitting or laying down. Some of the moves have made me gasp... not super painful but a little bit weird.
Food cravings: well, besides food in general, I'm craving fresh fruit again. Especially fresh pineapple.
Gender: Boy.
Labor Signs: not yet. (However, I did read up on what these are so that I'm in the know!)
Belly Button in or out? In... but getting tighter- yikes!
Wedding rings on or off? On
What I miss: wine and fully caffeinated drinks from Starbucks! (same as before) I did forget to say "decaf" with one of my first drinks in a red cup... and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but didn't finish every sip.
What I am looking forward to: is it too early to say Christmas Break??
Weekly Wisdom: So thankful to have other women in my life who are also pregnant at the same time... and right now, I'm especially thankful for the ones who are due before me... if they can do this, so can I!
Milestones: almost to the THIRD trimester!!!
Here are a few pics from the 2nd trimester... it's amazing how fast this little man is growing!!

You are adorable! Oh and Drew totally did the moving at night thing, I found that if I got in bed BEFORE I really wanted to sleep it gave him some play time and then he relaxed again :) And have you tried the pony tail holder through the button loop connected to the button on your old pants?? that makes them more "elastic" haha
ReplyDeletethanks friend... good idea about the going to bed before it's bedtime... and yes, the pony tail thing worked with some of my pants for awhile if they were low rise enough... but unfortunately my dressier pants actually have higher waists... (not awkward old lady high waists though!)
