Your Size: Monthly
estimate says you are the size of a Duran… though what the heck is a duran! But
if the doctor is correct you may be more like the size of a coconut. We find
out next Tuesday what your real size is- which is so exciting!
Your Due Date:
November 12th… only 6 weeks left!
Maternity/
Baby clothes? It was the first week in a long time where we didn’t get any new
clothes!
Nursery: And week 2 of not
working on your nursery… though this weekend we will be making up for it!
Baby Gear: We are
still getting boxes in the mail like crazy! People are still sending gifts and
I’m still ordering things… this weekend will be spent trying to figure out
where we are going to put all of the Baby stuff.
Sleep: Actually sleeping a bit better this week, but on and
off the couch a lot.
This
week’s adventure: This week’s adventure was in Lake Arrowhead- we went on our
Babymoon! Neither your Dad nor I had ever been there so we thought it would be
a nice getaway. And it was a fall (almost winter!) wonderland up there with
lots of cold weather and pine trees. We got 3 days of relaxation, yummy food
and quality time just the two of us. It was great to have such a relaxing
getaway before the craziness of Labor and our new life as a family of 3 begins!
Our view from our hotel room!
View from Breakfast on Saturday
Apple Cider... perfect Fall weather!
Nothing but the sound of the waves in the water!
Relaxed after 3 days in Arrowhead!
Sunset View on Friday night!
More sunsets....
Miss
anything? Being able to walk and not being in
pain.
Movement: I
can’t tell if you still have a ton of room in there or if you are just going to
be moving and poking at me until the day you are born. Yesterday you actually
stuck your entire head out of my stomach and I had to gently try and get it
back in!
Your
favorite foods: Mint Chip Ice Cream… I want it all the time!
Anything
making you queasy or sick: Just my iron pills.
Gender: Boy
Labor
signs: Lots and lots of Braxton hicks!
Symptoms:
Sadly the sciatica is still really
painful. With my twice weekly therapy it’s getting better, but I don’t think it’s
going to go away completely- though I’m still hoping!
Belly
button in or out? Still in, it’s a miracle!
Wedding
rings on or off? Still on! Though I now have some lovely cankles, so I’m sure
my fingers are going to soon join my feet in their swelling.
Happy
or moody most of the time: Crying. All the
time… still!
Looking
forward to: I’ve already started the countdown till my maternity leave.
Depending on how the doctor’s appointment goes next week we have only 3-4 more
weeks left of work- GASP!
Advice to my soon-to-be baby: Sometimes
in life you just need a good cry. This one is going to be hard for you as you
get older. When you are little you will be great at crying and showing just how
much you want or wanted something. But our society teaches boys (and men) they
must remain strong and never show emotion. The truth is that sometimes you need
to just be able to scream and cry it out. Don’t be afraid to do that!
P.S. The Notre Dame Scoreboard is now
4-0! Though sadly it was an off game for them, even with the win they slipped one in the rankings- #9 now.
Mine was mint chip as well!!!
