Her Size: The kids, Josh, and I read about Nia every Sunday night. They REALLY look forward to this, and if I forget, they are quick to remind me. This week she is a Cantaloupe!! We have been tracking her since she was a poppyseed.
How Far Along: 35 Weeks!! What is funny about this, is our Sunday update is the only thing that makes me remember how far along I am. When I was pregnant with Malakai, I knew till the DAY!! This one, ummmm, I'd say give or take a week :)
Total Weight Gain: I think I am at about 40lbs. I gained 65 with Malakai and about 45 with Leila. Looks like this one might be in the middle.
Sleep: Non-existent!! Poor Josh! I have multiple fans surrounding our bed, about 100 pillows, and I make awful sounds while sleeping. The bathroom trips are out of control as well. I'm a stomach sleeper and the fact I can's sleep on my stomach has bothered me the entire pregnancy. It is what it is.
Maternity Clothes: At this point, it is whatever I can fit in. I wore a lot of non-maternity shirts (thank you belly bands) in the beginning, but at this point, it's hideous maternity ware. My favorite articles are probably my non-maternity VS Yoga pants...so comfy!
Food Cravings: I haven't really had many the entire pregnancy. I am usually starving and nothing sounds good. Lately though, it has been watermelon.
Food Aversions: Anything with red-sauce as the Heart Burn is unbearable!
Symptoms I HAVE: Lots of movement from Nia (which I love), massive heartburn, way more pelvic pressure than I remember with the 2, and tolerating a very short fuse. My poor employees! I try to make the best of it at work, but the fuse is just way too short. I have found that taking a walk around the parking lot helps...especially since our weather has been so nice!
Doctor's Appointment: I go October 5th and start every week after that. They have been pretty UN-eventful. For those that haven't heard, we scheduled Nia's c-section for November 1!!!
Activities: I have been more active with this pregnancy than any of the previous! Sand Volleyball just wrapped up, had a summer filled of softball, and continue to play indoor Volleyball. Lots of fun!! Although, I think I am beginning to make my teammates a little nervous.
What I'm looking forward to: Lets be honest....drinking. This doesn't even need an explanation. The challenge of getting the prego weight off, and a break from work, while I'm home with the precious little one.
What I miss: Being able to bend over without GRUNTING!
That about wraps it all up in a nutshell!
XOXO,
Kar
