How far along? 22 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? At my last visit to the doctor she said I had only gained 8 pounds (WHOO HOO!!) and that my weight looked beautiful for how far along I am so YAY! Let's hope I keep it low and then lose it quickly once little man is here.
Maternity clothes? I still haven't fully committed to 100% maternity wear. I do wear a few shirts on the occasion and my awesome friend Bri lent me some of her maternity clothes and very cute jeans I might add so I wouldn't have to go and spend a fortune. Thankfully we wear the same size so I can return the favor for her next pregnancy :)
Stretch marks? Still nothing yet but I am putting on lotion religiously so I am still hoping that I won't get any but I am pretty sure I'll never be that lucky.
Sleep? I sleep pretty good still, getting up for the occasional bathroom break in the middle of the night but getting up at 4:45 for work each morning is still taking it toll on me- once I'm home at 3:30 from work there is still a daily nap that takes place.
Best moment last week? Well last week was very cool because I went to my moms house on Tuesday after meeting a friend for dinner and my mom got to feel Samuel really kick! I feel it all the time but now Brandon and my mom have :)
Movement? I can definitely feel him now!! He is pretty active in the mornings and in the evenings or if I fall off the wagon and have a drink with a lot of sugar in it-- last week I had a lemonade and I thought he was going to bust out!! I've learned to water it down so it's not so concentrated.
Food cravings? FRUIT!! All the time! Oh and grilled cheese! I love getting weird looks when I order it off the kids menu and I am rocking the baby bump but oh well!!
Labor signs? Still no on this one! YAY!
Belly button in/out? Still in :)
What I miss: Sometimes and this is just sometimes- being able to come home after a stressful day at work and having a beer or a glass of wine but I know its all for the greater good right now.
What I am looking forward to: Finally finishing cleaning out the nursery- I never realized that a spare bedroom could hold so much crap!
Milestones: Today Brandon, my mom and I went to buy buy baby and ordered our furniture for the nursery! We ordered the crib, the conversion rails, the dresser and our glider for the room! 6 weeks unit delivery and I cannot wait!
Other than the usual baby changes some of my lovely friends got together this week to plan out my first baby shower in November. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life to think so much of me to help plan a shower for baby Samuel.
Until the next time!
