Total weight gain/loss: I am not completely sure, but I think I'm up 25lbs.
Maternity clothes? Mostly, but still wearing my running tights and capris and some t-shirts.
Stretch marks? Not yet. PTL!
Sleep: Getting to be less good - I seem to only be able to sleep on my left side, but then I wake up aching with all the pressure on that side (and of course have to pee every time) and have a hard time falling back to sleep. I am grateful that I am only mildly uncomfortable because I know many others at this point are in lots of pain when it comes to sleeping.
Best moment this week: We have some very exciting weeks ahead! But for this week - we had a fun time packing toys with our small group for a mission trip to Kenya that a group from church is taking. We also had a great time at my work Christmas party and just getting to hang out with WBH is great.
Miss Anything? I think just not having to pee all. the. time.
Movement: He is really moving a lot and I can tell he is getting bigger and bigger because the movements are so big! He is also capable of waking me up at night with a jab in the ribs - which, even though it is somewhat painful, doesn't bother me because it means he is strong and growing. He's also been getting the hiccups quite a bit in there, which is really cute :).
Food cravings: I just want all food pretty much.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Actually no...feeling good!
Have you started to show yet: Yes!
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs: Nothing so far - hopefully very soon!
Belly Button in or out? Still so far in.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am happy! But I do get tired more easily.
Size of Baby: Counting from his estimated weight at 32ish weeks, he may be as heavy as 6.5 lbs! Not a clue about how long he is at this point.
Looking forward to: Baby showers today and tomorrow, lots of Christmas celebrations, and meeting this little man!!
And just for general Jones household news: We had a wonderful trip to Vermont for Thanksgiving! The weather was much more bearable than I was expecting and we even hiked one day and ran the next and didn't freeze to death! It was great to see my mom and brothers and their ladies and mom's small group. I can't wait to be reunited with family again. This month, WBH and I are excited to celebrate Christmas with both our workplaces, our small group family, and WBH's family. We are also getting ready to pack up and move in mid-January (yep, just after baby is born). It is a crazy and exciting time!
Hey! This week it's not a selfie!
