Maternity Clothes:
Same as before, maternity pants and leggings and some of my old shirts still fit! I went shopping a couple days ago to find a cute dress for our maternity pictures! It was really difficult to see all the super cute dresses and clothes that they are coming out with for Spring. I have NEVER not fit into things I love…and it is really depressing to see something way super adorable but not be able to get it because the seam goes right across my belly and looks SUPER unflattering! UGH! #preggoproblems

Movement:
Same as before, the kicks are getting more frequent and strong. I still have not felt the hiccups or the full body roll/shift from one side of the body to the other…I am sure it is only a matter of time!

Sleep:
Pretty good actually! I don’t want to jinx myself…but for right now, I have zero complaints about sleep.

What I miss:
Same as before, Laying on my stomach…a lot. Having a glass of a wine. I miss those things.
Cravings:
Nothing too bad. Except for yesterday I was craving fast food something fierce. I don’t even like fast food/ nor do I eat it normally…so I indulged, and then of course felt guilty afterwards. Annoying. Also at my doctors appointment they told me that she may have either had a growth spurt, or I have a lot of amniotic fluid, but she is measuring big. And she grew quite a bit since the last appointment I guess. So they told me to lay off the carbs. My reaction? Well then what am I supposed to eat? Is there anything else. UGH, so frustrating…but I understand what is necessary for me and baby. I know that we are destined to have a bigger baby at birth because my brother and I were both huge babies. I guess we just know how to grow em’? Ugh..

Symptoms:
My body aches. I am tired of being pregnant. I know it will get worse before it gets better, but im just done. I want to work out and run and even though I know I can work out now, it is really rough. I do some things, but I am SUPER limited. I don’t want to feel like I have nowhere else to go on the scale but up. It is really stressful. I have never been this size in my whole life, and honestly…I hate it.

Favorite Moment This Week:
So much! At our doctors appointment on Thursday besides finding out that I need to not be eating 7 loaves of bread and a giant bowl of pasta for dinner, we found out that my glucose levels are not even dangerously close to diabetes stage! YAY!! Also, they told me that my iron levels are really good, and so I am super healthy, my weight looks good (even though it scares me), but baby is measuring big. Apparently, if she continues at this rate, they may bump my due date, and also have a few more ultrasounds in the next coming weeks to make sure she isn’t getting TOO big. Yikes! Harlow is going to be a troll…lovely. Also, we had our maternity pictures yesterday. Tessa is one of my closest friends and she happens to own her photography business! She did my Boudoir shoot a few years ago, and I knew that I wanted her to do the maternity and newborn pics for Baby H. The sneak preview we have seen is BEYOND ADORABLE, and I can’t believe I have to wait 2 more weeks to see the final result! AHH! I am going crazy. I want the pictures like yesterday, but nevertheless, good things come to those who wait. Ugh. ALSO, we had the first of our 4 baby showers. It seems a little excessive to have so many, but we have family in Oregon AND Washington and of course friends in both places! Our first one, his parents threw for us, and it was so sweet and I loved every minute of it! We were so spoiled already, but I can’t believe how excited I was getting for things that aren’t even mine! They are for baby Harlow. We were so spoiled. Not a ton of pictures from the event, but im sure some of them will surface. If I am going to be a blogger, I clearly need to be a better photographer.
Worst Moment This Week:
Just the carb thing…but if iM complaining about that, then that means we are in good shape yeah? Also, shopping and finding literally almost nothing that fits. I know it is to be expected, but its just stressful for me. But as long as this little sea monkey is healthy, I believe that these stretchmarks and whichever else my bod decides to throw at me, will become so small and worth it in the end.
