Miss B ~ 33 Weeks

Net weight gain/loss: Up 37 lbs according to Doc

Maternity clothes: Uh... yah

Stretch marks: Yes

Belly button: OUT but might be flattening a bit??

Sleep: What's that? I'm up at LEAST 5-8 times a night... 3 of those are just when I GO to bed...comfortable is a thing of the past and I think I've made up my mind that if I'm sleeping through the night again by Christmas it will be the BEST Christmas present EVER.

Baby movement: Yes and I LOVE it! Interesting that this little girl likes to have her behind shoved right out... course I'll take THAT over Minnie and her jammed up foot in my ribs ANY day :)

Food cravings: This week it has been raspberries and tart lemonade... I have done a taste test of several and I think I've picked a couple favs....which... for those that know me... know I don't drink anything I have to take insulin for... I'm a water/diet pepsi kinda girl.... NORMALLY... This PGCY I'm about the 100% juice "mock"tails and now lemonade! I limit it to 3-4 drinks a week but I sure do enjoy them!

Food aversions: Mexican and fries in my oven

What I miss: my "cute" Athleta bathing suit, being comfortable and my AE Jeans :) SLEEP

Looking forward to: What happened this week (6/27) at the Docs: Miss B is weighing in at 5lbs 6oz and is in the 69%. Her heart rate is 128 and she scored 8/8. My BP was 112/602. I asked the Doc if he was concerned that we had gone up in % from 62 to 69 and he said not at all. Assured me that she was still "average" and that things were JUST fine....

Wednesdays in the Womb: 20 Weeks

How far along: 20 Weeks ~ OVER 1/2 way there in my book :)
Net weight gain/loss: up 16lbs
Maternity clothes: Yes
Stretch marks: nothing new
Belly button: Out
Sleep: Any chance I get
Baby movement: YES! :) Nothing REAL consistent but on Monday night Husband reached over and starting pushing a bit on my belly and baby girl KICKED HIM BACK :) Two quick jabs and we both looked at each other amazed! :) I said DID YOU FEEL THAT!? :) He had! :) Such a neat experience :) I hadn't felt anything from the outside yet so AWESOME that her Daddy was the first one :) That is the BEST!
Food cravings: No and I'm a little disappointed. In fact last week some of the "carsick" feeling came back... come on now... I thought we were DONE with that...
Food aversions: Mexican and Husband cooking french fries in the oven.
What I miss: My "normal" clothes and I know it is WAY too early for that...
Looking forward to: The CountryRents coming home! :) I have projects...ooooo I have PROJECTS :)

Had an appt with the diabetic NP this week... A1C was 6.0 which she was really happy with. Last time it was 5.7 and I WAS really happy but she thought I was having too many low blood sugars so this one made her more pleased. My sugars are more consistantly good vs. a lot of lows... we'll take it... baby is happy and healthy and that's what I work for everyday... She was so happy I don't have to see her again for another SIX WEEKS! What a difference this time :) Yahooooooooo

Wednesdays in the Womb on Thursday: 15 Weeks

How far along: 15 Weeks
Net weight gain/loss: up 10lbs ~ I was 19 weeks PG at this point the first go-round... yikes
Maternity clothes: Pants for sure... some shirts
Stretch marks: no more than before
Belly button: Flattening a bit...
Sleep: Love it
Baby movement: I don't THINK so but maybe... feeling something when I'm really still and paying attention but I think still too soon??
Food cravings: Salad, but it MUST have croutons and Newman's Own Creamy Caesar dressing
Food aversions: Mexican does NOT sound good to me
What I miss: Feeling good ALL the time
Looking forward to: "Big" ultrasound that is scheduled for 3/15 :) Praying for healthy!!! What's YOUR gender guess?

All the appts last Friday went fine. Sir Creeps A lot only did an EKG because insurance didn't approve an ECHO. If they see something funky I'll have to go back. HR on babe was 166 and my RN found it right away. I LOVE that sound... GREAT news at Loretta's... A1c (average blood sugar over the past 3 months) 5.7 which equals a blood sugar of about 117. LOVE IT. Long day but good to get it all done in one day and so fun to have MIL with me and know that Minnie was sleeping in her own bed with her Nana and Papa taking care of her :)

For real, we need a belly shot... for real... this is the LAST THING on my mind :) But I do love that I have them all with Minnie so I really need to do it for this one as well :)

Well... how do you like....

Wednesdays in the Womb?? :) At least until August 10th-ish? :)
