How far along? 36 weeks.
Baby Hart is the size of: A head of romaine lettuce- but, prolly more accurately ;), at our ultrasound he "weighed" 6 lbs. 11 oz.
Total weight gain/loss: 20 lbs total gained.
Maternity clothes? As can be seen in this weeks picture (with the awesome white maternity tank showing under my belly), even they are getting small.
Stretch marks? Yes, a few.
Sleep: Torture.
Best moment this week: Seeing our guy during the ultrasound!!
Miss anything? Snuggling Silas on my lap:/ He's been so randomly snuggley lately, and it hardly "works". Sigh!
Movement: Yes, lots still, mostly on my right side (more on that later!).
Food cravings: Chocolate ice cream/milkshakes- SAME as this week with my pregnancy with Silas! Crazy!!! First time I made Jason go on a craving run was this week- for a chocolate milkshake :)
Symptoms: Klutzyness (please count it), uncomfortable/achiness, breathlessness. But the heartburn has been better, so yay;)
Showing? Oh yes.
Gender: Boy:)
Belly button in or out? Out and purely 100% strange.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Adjustments? Adjusting into all kinds of positions to try to flip Baby Hart (spoiler for the thing I learned this week;)).
Emotions: Freaking out/nervous and excited- very excited to hold and see this lil guy:) A little bit anxious about how these next few weeks will go down though;)
Learned this week: That Baby Hart is BREECH! Or, at least he was at our appointment on Friday! It explains the immense pelvis pain I've had- he's literally SITTING on my pelvic bone! He's got ALL his hands and feet up by his head on my right side- hence ALL the movement I feel there!:) I've been doing different (and yes, crazy) things to flip him though and I think it may have worked- things "feel" different and the pain is much better the last 2 days. But I've also started up the prenatal yoga again (I lost track of that the last few weeks in the move) so maybe that's why I feel so much better. Also, the doctor's been pretty concerned about him not being too big during birth, because of Silas' dystocia/herb palsy- and this guy's already weighing on the bigger end- so if he hasn't come by 39 weeks we will most likely be doing a C-section after that point. Silas came at 38 weeks though, so I'm hoping this guy appears early too, and hence not too big for a vaginal delivery! I'm planning on doing a LOT of "trying-to-go-into-labor" tricks on Labor day! ;):) Oh and we also learned this guy has TONS of hair!!! We could see it in the ultrasound!!! Precious!!!!
So thankful for: God's provision! We took our van in to get checked out and found out several things were wrong with it and it was NOT safe to drive. The repairs were more than the good ol' thing was worth, so we will be car hunting tomorrow. So glad we found out about the safety issues before baby came, and now praying we find a new one asap!
Looking forward to: Our baby shower this Sunday!!
