Weight Gained 27 lbs. I lost two pounds since last week (and did a quick happy dance after the doctor left the room), but I still feel quite large! Believe me, I'm still stuffing my face like there's no tomorrow most of the day, but this heat is killing my dinnertime appetite.
Maternity clothes? Yes and I'm SO over them.
Stretch marks? The ones around my belly button are getting pretty weird, but the other ones are still acceptable.
Sleep Status It's basically a knockdown, drag-out fight from about 9PM to 6AM, at which point I'm so physically exhausted from waking up and getting in and out of bed so many times that I finally pass out for a solid two hours. Even with the help of my good friend Tylenol PM, I still wake up at least six times a night to pee/change positions/whine about being uncomfortable.
Best Moments this Week Memorial Day weekend! I've been dying to spend some time poolside, so that's basically all I did. Adam (little brother #1) turned 19 this weekend, so we had a big family cookout for him on Monday.
Miss Anything? SLEEP. I've accepted the fact that I won't be getting any for at least 18 years though, so I'm over it.
Food Cravings There's not much I wouldn't do for some Rita's.
Aversions meat, seafood, heavy dairy
Showing? I'm pretty hard to miss these days.
Rings? Off =[ Finally succumbed to the fact that they were cutting off the circulation to my sausage-like fingers, so I took this opportunity to send them away to be radium plated and cleaned. They'll be back and shiny, just after Little Man makes his big debut.
Belly Button? Weird
Labor Signs I've had some contractions lately, but they aren't anything to get excited about. At my appointment yesterday, my super-awesome doctor agreed to "stir things up" and stripped my membranes, which is supposed to get things moving. I've heard that it's really painful, but I didn't think so (sissies). For some women it works like a charm and you're in L&D in no time, but for others it does absolutely nothing. It's been about 18 hours and nothing yet, but we'll see! Keeping my chubby fingers crossed.
Symptoms Heartburn, back and hip pain, minor swelling. Little Man continues to stretch and squirm in there, and it feels like he's bruising me from the inside! I'd like to think he's trying to bust out, but something tells me he's going to hang out in there as long as possible.
Mood Generally good, but so so BORED. People ask me if I'm nervous about all the labor and delivery stuff, but to be honest? I really don't care at this point-- I just want him to be here already.
Looking forward to... Little Man's arrival!
