Apparently I missed a week. I really thought I did one last week.
Today I am 32 weeks but this post will be about week 31. Reagan's room is all set furniture wise. I have some pictures but I am waiting for a different post to talk about her room. I really like it!
How far along? 32 weeks today but 31 weeks and 2 days in the picture
Total weight gain: 20 lbs
Stretch marks? No!What I thought was a stretch mark is really a vein
Sleep: Ok off and on. Jason has started sleeping on the pull out couch because I was having trouble sleeping. I still have nights when I wake up and can't go back to sleep.
Best moment this week: Getting Reagan's room done. I feel so much better about her coming now!
Miss Anything? Stamina and sleep
Movement: She has awake and asleep moments. She's pretty good about not being too active at night
Food cravings: Lucky Charms, doughnuts
Anything making you queasy or sick: Fried foods
Symptoms: I'm measuring 2 weeks big, I feel huge, I get really stiff when I stay in one place for too long, some Braxton Hicks contraction
Wedding rings on or off? Off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: The start of school and the Olympics
Well, here we are at almost 30 weeks. The 29th week has been an emotional roller coaster. The weekend was good, Sunday we went to Stone Mountain to see Jason's parents/ drop McKenzie off there for the week. We ended up staying the night. It was good to see the laser show and hang out but it didn't do so well for me sleeping. Monday Jason and I had a date night and tried to put the crib together but found out it was on the recall list and we are now awaiting a part to come in. Frustrating. Tuesday I think I cried more than anything else. I don't know why I cried half the time either. Pregnancy. Wednesday was summer camp, a doctor's appointment and the aquarium. My 29th week picture is from our aquarium visit. Lots of fun but I felt bad I didn't go back to Stone Mountain with McKenzie when she asked if I would. Today has been a blah day and more emotions.
At my appointment yesterday Reagan is good as usual. She's actually measuring big this time, at 31 weeks instead of 30. I think McKenzie did that as well. They also told me no more than 3 C sections. I don't know why this bothers me beacuse we've always talked about 3 kids but I don't know if I like the idea of a doctor telling me how many children I can have.
I think my emotions stem from the fact that I feel a huge difference in Reagan and McKenzie. With McKenzie she was the first and everything was new. With Reagan we're putting together the same crib we used with Kenz, same carseat etc. I want Reagan to be special too. She is to me and Jason but I want everyone else to think she's as special as we do. The girl does have some new things (like her bedding which is totally unique) but I still feel different. Maybe it is just me, maybe its because I know what we're doing this time, who knows.
On to the regular post.....
How far along? 29 weeks and 6 days (5 days in the picture)
Total weight gain: 19 lbs
Stretch marks? No, but I think there is one forming ... I'm cocoa buttering it up like crazy
Sleep: Better this week because I can nap late afternoon because McKenzie has been away.
Best moment this week: Date night with Jason
Miss Anything? Stamina
Movement: Reagan thinks that 10pm is a perfect time to stretch out, just when I'm ready to sleep
Food cravings: Funnel cakes
Anything making you queasy or sick: Actually, chicken is starting to get on my nerves again
Symptoms: Impatience, feeling huge, not being able to see my feet, soreness in my hip if I bend too much during the day, stiffness if I stay in 1 position too long... the normal stuff
Wedding rings on or off? Off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Emotional - so I guess that is moody
Looking forward to: Getting into my room at school and setting up Reagan's room
So this week has been about patience for me. I am so ready for so many things and I'm having to learn to just wait and things will get done. I write this as I am waiting on the carpet people. It was supposed to be delivered between 1 and 3, its now 4. See... patience. Other things I'm having to be patient about include my house being clean and organized (even though I feel its all I've done all summer), setting up Reagan's room, anything to do with McKenzie, and just meeting Reagan in general. Next week I start doing work related things a couple of days a week and then in 3 short weeks I'll be back until Reagan gets here. Where did the time go?
On the other hand we had a great weekend at the beach last weekend. I'm waiting on my mom to send me some pictures and I'll write more about that on the family blog.
Here we go with the 28 week post
How far along? 28 weeks and 6 days (4 days in the picture)
Total weight gain: Still at 15 lbs
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I don't know why it is suggested that you rest now because you won't be able to when the baby comes. I don't get enough rest. I sleep at night but it never feels like a good night's sleep and McKenzie wears me out during the day
Best moment this week: Being at the beach and seeing my family
Miss Anything? Sleep and the ability to do things without getting tired or sore easily, maybe seeing my feet
Movement: Reagan is a mover but she's slowed. She still lets me know she's there though
Food cravings: Nothing this week, that is odd
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Symptoms: Impatience, feeling huge, not being able to see my feet, soreness in my hip if I bend too much during the day, stiffness if I stay in 1 position too long... the normal stuff
Wedding rings on or off? Off, it makes me sad that I've had to take them off already
Happy or Moody most of the time: A mixture of both
Looking forward to: Setting up Reagan's room, Stone Mountain with Jason's parents, Ribbon Cutting and Summer camp for my new school, a date night with Jason
