Maternity Clothes:
Same as before, still trying to find what fits from my old closet..which isn’t much these days, but every once in awhile I will find a shirt that fits from my old wardrobe..the problem now is that most of these shirts are getting shorter.

All the freaking time! I am pretty sure I am growing a gymnast…either that or a tiny dancer, the doctor said that she is turned so hopefully little baby girl stays that way!

Sleep:
About the same, getting up more and more throughout the night to use the restroom. And have to shift every few hours from side to side to get comfy.

What I miss:
This week I am missing laying on my tum, and just having my old body. I can’t wait to get back into shape, I feel like with this pregnancy I haven’t been as active (especially since it has been winter), and it is really starting to bother me. I can’t wait until she is out, and I get the ok from my doctor to start working out and running again. We are so active during the summer, and I would just go stir crazy having to be cooped up in the house all day!
Cravings:
Nothing crazy, my stomach has been upset for the last week. And around 2-3pm hits and I am so tired, but with working 9-5:35, I don’t have time to be tired!

Symptoms:
Same as before, My bones hurt…my body aches..you know normal preggo symptoms I guess? My energy is also starting to burn out a little bit! Also, I have been using this hot heart massager that I bought at a Pure Romance party a few years back for my back pain. Well, in order to reuse said heart, you have to boil it down. Well Tim, being the ever so loving man that he is, recognized that my back was hurting and put it on the stove for me, so it would be ready for me when I was ready to relax. Well…we both forgot about it!! AHH!!! Cue us going in and smoke billowing out of our poor little stove top. All of the water that was in the pot had been evaporated and my poor little heart massager had exploded!! It was so sad…and kind of funny all at the same time. I am lucky that my new pot from my dad for Christmas wasn’t ruined, but my heart was in ruins! So needless to say, we are looking for another one of these suckers….

Favorite Moment This Week:
This past week we started our Childbirth Preparation class. It is a 2 hour long class every Monday from 6:30-8:30pm. It makes for a long day because we get off work at around 5:45ish, and then have to rush home and try to eat something real quick before we head to class for 2 hours. I think they will be really helpful though, and one of the class sessions we actually get to see the maternity floor! We also met with a Maternity Connections coordinator through the hospital. She was super helpful in setting us up with a birth plan, and getting our preferences for how we wanted our room to be when we are admitted. She also went over the signs of labor and what to watch out for, which was pretty helpful…since hello? We are not seasoned pros at this! We also got more of the nursery finished up, and found out from my mum that she is buying us the crib and the mattress! H ooray!! I will post pics when we get everything in there. I have also done all of the laundry for the clothes that we have received thus far, and organized everything in her closet. Tim also finished up the little night stand table for next to the rocking chair, so that also turned out SUPER CUTE! Also, Tims mum came to visit! We hadn’t seen her since before Christmas, so that was really nice to be able to spend some time with her! She has a pretty busy schedule, so hasn’t been able to see us since before then, and wont have a free weekend until after Harlow is born!
Worst Moment This Week:?
Just my back pain has steadily been getting worse. I will be fine one minute and then start limping the next. I can’t wait to have my body back and be able to go running and lose this baby weight!
