Mathias and I vended at a Halloween trunk or treat event and I got to dress up in probably one of my favorite DIY costumes. It was fun showcasing the bump since it really hasn't been all that visible until the past few weeks!
Baby's size: A 1 1/2 lb cauliflower! My patients are finally starting to ask if I'm pregnant :-)
Total weight gain: 10 lb.
How do you feel? Good! I have my glucose test next week and my 3rd trimester appointment the week after. This time is FLYING by. Mathias will catch me slouched and sprawled out on the couch with my shirt up just rubbin my belly, smile, and tell me I look like the happiest pregnant lady ever. He's right!
Body image: It appeared pretty early in pregnancy, but my linea nigra is really darkening now. At first, it was a line only from my belly button down (which if you follow old wive's tales, is a sign that it's a girl), but now it's starting to darken above as well (which indicates boy if it's above and below). Who knows! My belly button is also starting to widen and flatten out. I wonder if it'll turn into an outie...I'm oddly fascinated by it.
I have officially run out of pants that zip at all. Even with the belly band, wearing them is pretty uncomfortable so I had a treat yo'self day and bought 3 new pairs of pants, 2 sweaters, a top, and 3 bras (I have jumped up a size...hooray!)
Movement: It's getting to a point where it's consistently throughout the day, and the past two days, I've not just felt quick thumps but slow movement that will stretch from one side to the other. It's such a foreign feeling it really stops me in my tracks when that happens. As consistent as kicks are, the baby pipes down as soon as Mathias lays a hand on my belly...except for on weekends--he can always feel it then. It's so strange! I FINALLY got a recording of movement visible from the outside, and I may regret saying this in a couple months, but I'm kind of excited to start feeling hiccups soon!
Moment of the week: Nursery progress! My aunt and uncle drove down from OH to visit with family, and gifted an AWESOME high chair and crib mattress. (Never thought I'd be so pumped about a high chair lol) My parents got us the most comfortable glider ever and I have already fallen asleep in it. Annnnnd...the crib came last night and it's all put together now!
