The end is getting nearer! Although it still seems sooooo far away! I have reached the point of pregnancy where I can describe myself as feeling miserable. Sadly, the harder and most miserable time still awaits me lol. Lawd. Help. Me
I can tell that I am getting closer because I have lost a little bit of my mucus plug and my braxton hicks are becoming stronger and more frequent. Also, at around 28 weeks I dropped big time! It seemed overnight too! One day I just woke up feeling tons of pressure and pain. I thought to myself 'I look lower' when I saw myself in the mirror, but didn't think to much of it until going to church later and about 4 or 5 people commented that I dropped lol.
Right around the same time, I noticed that my nose has gotten HUGE!!! Ugghhhhhhhh its sooooo ugly lol. I hate it! I feel like when I smile, it spreads across my whole face! I can't wait for it to go down after I have the baby.
I had my last ultrasound at 29 weeks and the tech estimated him to be 3.5 lbs. That is a little higher than average but not too bad. I know that these estimates can be off but right now I am thinking that he will be a big ol' boy. Thats just based off of how I am carrying this time around. Much bigger and rounder than my last pregnancy.
We are still majorly unprepared for him. We still need a dresser for his clothes (they are currently in bags in the garage) a bassinet, a carseat, oh and lets not forget a NAME. Nope, he is still nameless smh. Neither of us are bending on the names that we like. I don't like his pick: Noah, and he doesn't like mine: Micah. So were stuck. Ugh! I don't know whats going to happen lol. And I dont want to have to draw names out of a hat or something because with my luck, we'd end up drawing the name I don't like!
Im trying not to stress and just pray that everything comes together soon. I have a baby shower next weekend and my maternity pics to take so Im gonna try to just focus on that for now.
Baby Update:
How far along? 32
How big is the peanut? The size of the head of a lettuce
Total weight gain/loss? 34lbs (164)
Maternity clothes? Yep! I like to wear dresses for the most part because I don't like anything on or under my belly. During the week when Im out of the house I wear maternity pants usually..ugh. I hate them because I hate the stretchy part so tight on my belly But, usually resort to leggings and a tank top around the house.
Sleep? Its still annoying to sleep but I just sleep in my recliner on my back . I don't let the recliner recline too far back so that helps with the GERD, too
Morning sickness? Its gotten sooo much better within the last couple weeks. Im very surprised that it lasted this long. I still sometimes need to take the zofran at least every couple of days but I don't rely on it anymore, thankfully
Best moment this week? Nothing really happened this week.
Symptoms? Exhaustion, tender boobs, fire nipples, lower abdominal pain, hip pain, no appetite, swollen and pain in my whole pelvic area, braxton hicks, fat nose
Food cravings? SWEET TEA! Ice. (crushed)
Food aversions? most foods don't really seem too appeal to me lately
Gender? BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Labor signs? Dropping, lots bits of mucus plug
Belly button in or out? In. pretty flat right now
Movement? Yep. Definitely feeling the little squish all over the place now. He is like an octopus. I can feel him all over...alllllllllll of the time! He never stops moving lol
What I miss? Everything about not being pregnant lol
What I'm looking forward to? Baby Shower and Maternity pics
