Baby's size? Brooke is approximately 14 inches from head to heel and about 1.66 lbs.
Weight Gain? Ummm…. Like 20 lbs. Don’t tell anyone.
Maternity clothes? I got a few new things from Destination Maternity online a few weeks ago. I felt like I needed some shorts and a few casual tops to get me through our trip to Mexico without dying of heat stroke. I’m hoping that once I find a dress for my baby shower I’ll be done buying maternity clothes for good.
Stretch marks? I haven’t seen anything suspicious yet.
Sleep? Glorious. I want to just take one long nap until the baby is ready to come out.
Best moment this week? When I went to my parents’ house to pick up my dog after our trip, there was a gift there waiting for me! From my Pop-pop! I got so emotional at the thought of him picking this out for me… at 90 years old. I just don’t have any words. I’m so excited that he is finally getting promoted to Great Grandfather. Brooke is going to absolutely love him.
Movement? When she’s awake she moves around constantly! Sometimes she nudges me so hard, it’s uncomfortable. She’s strong like her daddy.
Food cravings? Does ice water count? I just want cold cold water. And if my glass isn’t filled to the brim with ice… you’re gonna get an earful from me.
Symptoms? Oh my goodness, I had my first swollen feet experience on Wednesday! When I put on my shoes to go to work that morning, they felt a little snug. And when I got home for lunch, I kicked my shoes off to relax for a bit, and they looked all puffy! I got a little nervous, but I was mostly just grossed out. It was not cute.
What I miss? My dresses and pencil skirts that I haven’t been able to wear in months
What I'm looking forward to? I can’t wait to see what Baby B looks like. I hope she has a tiny Duffin head (for obvious reasons)… and I hope she has some hair that she’ll let me put bows and barrettes in. :)
Weekly Wisdom: We traveled home from Mexico on Monday… so this wisdom was in fact obtained this week and not last week: Mexican men do not get up and offer their seat to pregnant chicks. However, SO MANY of the Mexican women DO! ?Como se dice “backwards!”? Right?!
I totally wasn’t offended or anything. I never even took any of the offered up seats. It was just a funny observation.
Milestones: Successful completion of an international vacation while larger than a whale!! And non-pregnancy related: I upgraded my iPhone 4S to a new iPhone 5 AND upgraded our crummy first generation iPad to a cute little iPad mini. Still important. Still exciting.
Emotions: Happy to be home in our own bed with our dog. I like it when our whole family is together.
