\nTotal weight gain:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a018+ pounds – will see the exact amount at my appointment next week
\nMaternity clothes?\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>Mixing and matching maternity and regular\u00a0still! Just the jeans I’m wearing in the above picture are maternity. The shirt is just really stretchy and the flannel is sized up to a medium.
\nSleep:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0This week was a little rougher in the sleep department, although I still have no problems falling asleep. But what’s a girl to do when she wakes up hungry at 3 am besides climb out of bed and eat a peanut butter pumpkin cookie??
\nBest moments this week:\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>Officially welcoming FALL today!!! Baby girl season!
\nMovement:\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>So much movement! And lots of hiccups. Poor thing – I hate getting the hiccups!
\nFood cravings:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Loving pumpkin and peanut butter these days. I even combined the two in a delicious (healthy) cookie recipe.
\nAnything making you queasy or sick:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Not a thing.
\nHave you started to show yet:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Yep – rocking quite the pumpkin.
\nGender: <\/strong><\/b>Baby girl!
\nLabor Signs:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Kinda? I forgot to mention that at my last appointment I learned what a Braxton Hicks contraction is! Sometimes baby girl will be a giant bulge in one side of my stomach, and when my midwife was measuring me it happened and she explained that it was a BH contraction! I had no idea, since when it happens it’s not painful at all – it just looks kinda funny. I guess my body is practicing contracting. SO CRAZY.
\nWedding rings on or off?<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0On.
\nHappy or Moody most of the time:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Happy and a little in shock that it’s almost October
\nWeekly Wisdom:\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>My office ordered me a standing desk option and it’s been really great. I sit for most the day, but once my back starts to hurt I raise the monitors and keyboard so I can stand. It totally helps my back pain throughout the day so far.
\nLooking Forward to:\u00a0<\/strong>Spending time with friends and family at my baby showers the next two weekends!!<\/p>\n
