2. Due Date: April 1, 2016
3. Gender: GIRL
4. Baby size: Approximately the size of a full head of lettuce, or about 3 lbs.
5. Weight gain/loss: d o w n 20(ish) lbs. from pre-pregnancy
6. Maternity Clothes?:
Yep.. lots of leggings and maternity shirts with cardigans. Every blue moon I might wear maternity jeans, like today, but even those aren't as comfortable as leggings.
7. Stretch marks?: Nope. Just old ones.
8. How's the sleep?: I sleep good until about 3am. Then I'm up.
9. Best moment this week?: CLEANING! Yeah, you read that right. Monday I cleaned the house top to bottom and got all the laundry washed, folded, AND put away lol. I'm the absolute worst at leaving clean clothes in the basket, so I felt pretty accomplished. I cleaned the floors too which always sucks for my back, but it felt good to get it all finished. I do believe the whole nesting instinct has kicked in.
10. Missing anything?: Not being achey all the time.
11. Baby Movements?: Yes. She's transverse with her head being wedged in my left pelvic bone and her feet in my right. Super comfy, especially when she stretches and gets the hiccups.
12. Cravings: Smoothies, ice cream floats, cereal. I've eaten way more Reese's Puffs cereal than I'd like to admit... it's kind of a miracle I don't have gestational diabetes ha.
13. What makes you sick or queasy? Nothing particular. Random things. I guess this week its been the smell of the kids' dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets that they love so dang much.
14. Any pregnancy symptoms?:
+ fatigue
+ mood swings
+ acne
+ nausea occasionally
+ achey hips, back and belly
+ mood swings
+ acne
+ nausea occasionally
+ achey hips, back and belly
+ baby movements
+ frequent bathroom trips
+ headaches
+ dizzy/light headed
+ anxiety-- I feel like its been FOREVER since I've had a baby around. It might also be the whole about to be completely outnumbered thing too, as well as stressing about birthing at Stormont-Vail again. I wasn't very pleased with my experience with John, and the ONLY reason why I'm going back is because since I have Myasthenia Gravis, little miss here is at risk for having Neonatal Myasthenia Gravis (a short term version of MG; usually goes away within days-weeks), and Stormont has the best NICU, hands down. Otherwise, I'd totally be birthing at the Women's Birthing Center, or even at home!

15. Labor signs?: Nope. I've finally started having some more regular Braxton- Hicks though... so my body is starting its prep.
16. Your mood is...?: happy :)
17. Looking forward to?: Ultrasound on Feb. 1st. I really miss having ultrasounds at every appointment like we did in Germany. It was fun to walk away with those snapshots every time :)
This past Monday at my appointment, the OB measured my fundal height and was a little concerned that I was measuring smaller than she feels is in the normal range, add that on to having a 7 lb loss from my last appointment (just two weeks previous), and we've got ourselves a growth ultrasound scheduled for February 1st, just before my regular appointment. She said that since I suffered so badly from Hyperemesis Gravidarum for the first 20 weeks, we need to make sure our little gal here isn't suffering any growth restrictions. I'm not overly concerned; I just don't birth bigger sized babies... John rang in at 6 lbs 15.9 oz |38 weeks, 3 days| and Ellie was 7 lbs 2 oz |39 weeks|.
aaaaand here's a 30 week belly shot fresh off the iPhone. Maybe one of these days I'll take nice ones with my dslr?

It's just another thing to think about for the next week and a half.
