Total weight gain/loss? Total gain of 10.9 pounds so far. Double digits. It was inevitable.
Maternity clothes? Yes. All maternity pants, but I can still wear regular tops. I don't have many long sleeved maternity tops (my seasons are flipped from last time around), but I'm able to wear most of my sweaters and not look too crazy.
Stretch marks? Nothing new.
Sleep? OK. I've been waking up once or twice each night and some nights I have a hard time falling back to sleep.
Best moment last week? The BIG ultrasound! The baby is doing great and looks perfect!
Movement? Every day!!! I forgot how amazing it is to feel a baby moving inside your belly. The movements have definitely been more noticeable this week and if you watch my belly when the acrobatics are going on you can see my stomach moving where the little one is punching or kicking me! And the ultrasound tech mentioned many times that we have a very active one on our hands. Just like Lukas...
Food cravings? Sushi and miso soup (the soup felt good on my sore throat...did I mention that I had laryngitis earlier this week? I couldn't talk and did not enjoy it at all. I'm a talker y'all!).
Food aversions? Nothing that sticks out.
Gender? DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....we're having another BOY!!! Team blue. Slugs, snails and puppy dog tails. Can I just say that I am SO excited to have two little boys. The idea of Lukas having a brother just warms my heart. I'd have been thrilled if we were having a little girl (terrified, but thrilled), but I'm not going to lie, I'm excited this one is a boy.
Labor signs? Nope
Belly button in/out? IN.
What I miss: Sleeping on my back.
What I am looking forward to: Picking out a name for our little boy! Poppy just doesn't sound fitting anymore (unless you say it with an exaggerated Spanish flair and raise your hands in the air - think "Paaappppii"), so I'm hoping to pick something soon. At least now Mr. Cob will talk to me about it. Thoughts? Ideas? Hates? Percival?
Milestones: The doctor told us yesteday that the baby is looking great and is healthy! Oh and there was that double digit weight gain thing. Details, details.
So very excited w/ your news - Lukas will make a great big brother - he just needs to be himself!! Congratulations to the Swan Family!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We are all so excited for another little boy to bless our lives. We're ready for the roller coaster road to continue!!!!
