The end is near! It's in sight! It's almost too close for comfort! The final stretch, my friends! I think I only have 2 or 3 doctor's appointments left and that's terrifying to say the least. But obviously it will all work out and be fine, so I could stop freaking out at any moment maybe.
How far along? 34 weeks! So close, and yet so far. But only 5 weeks & 2 holidays until I'm induced. Hallelujah
Total weight gain? Like 20 lbs I think?
Maternity clothes? All day! Except sometimes those feel pretty restricting so I just wear Jeff's clothes instead. Why are men's clothes so comfortable!?
Sleep? It's definitely hit or miss. I'm getting up less to go to the bathroom (a true blessing!) but I usually don't fall asleep until 2 AM no matter how tired I am and Paige is up at 7, so... I try to get a nap in when I can, but I'm also nesting, so it's hard doing both!
Best moment this week? Oh man! So many. I love feeling him move no matter how painful it is sometime. Paige is obsessed with him and is constantly kissing my belly and saying "i love you, brother" and i cry almost every time. Also I was holding a newborn earlier last week and Paige came over and said "oh mom, a cute baby!" and then kissed him on the forehead and stroked his hair so I'm feeling a little bit more confident that she won't kill this next kid... on purpose.
Worst moment this week? Braxton Hicks, you guys. I never had them with Paige (I barely felt any contractions with her), but these are kicking my butt. The pain!
Miss anything? Bending over! Standing up without needing help. Rolling over. Breathing properly. The usual ;)
Movement: All. The. Time. It's like he's trying to break out! Jeff's constantly surprised at how far he can stick his legs out haha but it's getting less painful the more often it happens. If only I could get him out of my ribs, we'd be fine!
Food craving/aversions? I can't actually eat that much anymore. My cravings have definitely depleted, and there's not many things I refuse to eat. The smell of instant mac & cheese kills me though.
Have you started to show yet? I'm not sure if I could show anymore than I already am! I mean, I said that about Paige and I got HUGE right near the end, so we'll see!
Gender? Still a boy as far as we know!
