Due Date: June 25, 2016
Gender: It's officially a GIRL!! (the ultrasound tech confirmed 100% at our appt. last week.) To say we were shocked is a total understatement. I still can't believe it-we were just so sure it was going to be a boy. ha ha i don't know why? Everyone has told me they just pictured us with a boy and in my head I've always thought I'd be a boy mom. But honestly, we could NOT be more excited! We love this little lady so much already and can't wait to meet her!
Movement: Okay so I was getting pretty bummed that I hadn't felt anything that I knew FOR SURE was the baby. But at my appt. the doc said my placenta is in front of her so it's kinda like she has to get through a pillow before I will feel movement. That made me feel so much better for some reason. It was crazy to see her just going crazy in their at my ultrasound- like how am I not feeling all that inside me?? ha ha but He said I should feel her in the next couple weeks. On Saturday night we were laying in bed just talking and laughing and I'm almost POSITIVE I felt her move. I was so excited! I told Nate to keep talking and maybe she would move more but she didn't. Ha I can't wait to feel her on a regular basis.
Feeling: I feel so good! How lucky is that??
Food Cravings: Lately I just want all the fresh fruit I can get my hands on! I can't tell you how delicious a juicy watermelon sounds to me right now. Ahh! But I've been able to buy some dang good pineapples so those will have to do for now.
Food Aversions: I honestly can't think of anything.
Clothes: All my clothes still fit but certain jeans get a little uncomfortable by the end of the day. I'm so ready to LOOK pregnant and at least be able to wear like stretchy pants or something. ha ha right now I just have muffin top and look like I've eaten a few too many pieces of cake..
Stretch Marks: Still lathering on cocoa butter and coconut oil each night to keep nice and moisturized.
Sleep: I've been sleeping with this square pillow and it has made such a huge difference! I prop it under my stomach when I lay on my side and it makes everything much more bearable.
Symptoms: I've been having a little bit of low back pain that kinda shoots down my leg and really hurts. Also sometimes while I'm exercising my lower stomach just aches. I'm sure its just my body getting ready to stretch and grow! (how amazing are bodies?)
What I Miss: This week I've missed being able to put 100% into my work outs. I've had to remind myself a few times to slow down or to reduce the weight on my bar. It's hard not to push myself like I'm used to but I know it's totally worth it.
Best Moment: Seeing our babe @ the ultraounds was definitley a highlifght! Also celebrating Nate's 27th bithday this weekend! Crazy to think when he turns 28 we will have a 8 month old! wait. what??
