Your
Size: Cauliflower… and my belly is supposed to be the size of a soccer
ball- which seems really accurate to me!
Your Due Date:
November 12th… only 14 weeks left!
Maternity/ Baby clothes? This week I started my packing
list for the hospital… I have 3 charts going- For Mommy, For Poppy & For
Daddy. Apparently for a 2-3 day stay at the lovely hotel Cedars we are going to
need a good amount of stuff- me especially! Though my favorite part of the
stuff is being able to pack some cute little onesies and going home stuff for
Poppy… OMG that means Poppy is going to be going home with us in no time at
all- GASP!
Baby Gear: Oh my
goodness your stuff has arrived finally!!! We got delivered your rocker, crib
and crib mattress! Everything is really starting to come together for your
nursery.
Your Dad put together your crib and it looks amazing…
Now all we need
is our little boy to put into it.
Sleep: I’m starting to spend more and more
nights on the couch sleeping sadly… luckily our couch is very comfortable!
This week’s adventure: We took you to your
first concert! During the summer Hermosa does concerts on the pier on Sunday nights.
They are great because you can bring wine (though we aren’t able to do that
this summer!) and food and have a picnic on the sand with friends and listen to
music. We also had the cutest little baby boy with us this trip- he was born
last November 12th, so it was pretty cool to see what you are going
to look like a year from now.
Miss anything? I
miss being able to look down and see things besides my belly… plus I miss being
able to bend over and get things off the floor… and being able to get up from
low chairs… basically I miss lots of stuff at the moment!
Movement: You are so active! So much that even
the doctor noticed it at our 25 week appointment. She kept trying to get your
heartbeat but every time that she would find it after about a second you would
swim away to a new position. You really seem to be having fun in my tummy!!!!
Your favorite foods: My appetite has gone way
down this week… sadly things are starting to be less appealing again for me.
Anything making you queasy or sick: This
week has been another pretty good week… my tummy has been upset but I don’t
think it has anything to do with you, except for maybe starting to get a bit
stressed and overwhelmed by everything.
Gender: Boy
Labor signs: Not yet but I got a little worried
over the weekend, you got yourself into your birthing position with your head
down so my belly dropped already. It’s not supposed to drop for another 10
weeks! But after a call to our Doula and our Doctor we were assured that
everything is alright and some babies just drop really early.
Symptoms: Lots of big
kicks!!!!
Belly button in or out? Button in, but belly way
out!
Wedding rings on or off? On… for maybe another
week or 2 only!
Happy or moody most of the time: I cry all the time still and am starting to get
grumpy as I get more uncomfortable.
Looking forward to: On Thursday we get to go
to Hilton Head and you get to spend some time with your Grandma Pelner and all
of her side of the family! Lots of Aunties & Cousins to meet! It’s going to
be raining off and on for the whole weekend, but that’s ok with me- rain means
I can just take lots and lots of nappies!
Advice to my soon-to-be baby: Try to
make lemons out of lemonade. Although it sounds very Pollyanna, and sometimes it seems really hard to find
the positive but I truly believe that there is a silver lining with each cloud.
You have been kicking and moving like crazy making your poor momma very
uncomfortable and grouchy the last few weeks, but after having my miscarriage
last year every little kick and punch that you do to my tummy is truly a gift!
Enjoying the new rocker... can't wait to rock my sweet boy to sleep!
