Weekly Update

How far along? 36 weeks (Starting the 9th month, only 3 weeks to go! Yippee! )

Total weight gain/loss: +28lbs

Sleep: some days ok, some days not...

Best moment this week: Spending the weekend in Victoria, BC. Missing the 90 degree weather (again!) Swimming in the hotel pool.

Movement: Slowing down a little, maybe. I am looking lopsided most of the time.

Food cravings: water, pop, fruit, popsicles, rootbeer floats

Gender: It's a GIRL!

Belly Button in or out? Out

What I miss: eating without having heartburn

What I am looking forward to: Holding our little girl on September 7th, 3 more weeks!

Baby Development: She is now around 6lbs, still gaining about 1/2lb per week and might be about 20inches long (though probably shorter, Jacob was only 19in at birth). Of interesting note: most of baby's systems are ready for life on the outside, circulatory system to musculoskeletal systems.

Weekly Update

How far along? 35 weeks (only 4 weeks to go!)

Total weight gain/loss: +27lbs

Sleep: back to getting up 4-6 times a night to use the bathroom and having much difficulty getting comfortable.

Best moment this week: Doctors appointment today, hearing the heartbeat, hearing everything is progressing normally.

Movement: All the time, starting to poke out at times. Devin was amazed at how much this little one moves. This one is MUCH more active than Jacob was.

Food cravings: water, pop, fruit, cookies

Gender: It's a GIRL!

Belly Button in or out? Out

What I miss: sitting comfortably

What I am looking forward to: Holding our little girl on September 7th, 4 more weeks!

Baby Development: She is now around 5.5lbs, still gaining about 1/2lb per week and might be about 20inches long (though probably shorter, Jacob was only 19in at birth). Of interesting note: baby's brain cells are developing at a record breaking pace. Most babies have settled into the head down position by now or will be soon.

Not Me! Monday

I'll just get right to it!....

I did not put my baby down for a morning nap and then put myself down for a morning nap also. And that nap did not last from 10:00 until 12:45. Nope! I did not rest that entire time and wish I could do that everyday. Not me!

I did not step in something wet on the carpet the other night only to notice it was spit-up and I didn't even know Jacob had spit up. Our carpet is not so stained that it was difficult to detect exactly what the wet spot was. Nope, not at our house!

I am definitely not tired of being pregnant and wouldn't mind having the baby tonight. Not me!

I did not enjoy the cooler weather here the last couple days, even the rain. We definitely did not use our air conditioner even though it was cooler. Nope, no way!

That's it for another Monday. Check out Mckmama's blog to see what she and everyone else has not been doing.

Belly Button in or out? Out

Not Me! Monday

Another Monday....and here we go....

I did not get my legs totally sunburned a few weeks ago trying to go for just a little color. Nope not me!

I did not thoroughly enjoy sitting by the pool for 2 days doing basically nothing while Devin was working in San Diego. Oh no, not me!

I was not secretly happy about missing the 90 degree weather Seattle was having while we were in San Diego, even though it was only upper 60's when we were there (most of the time).

I am not extremely happy we bought an air conditioner for our bedroom. We do not use it every night. Nope!

After having a large meal at the Cheesecake Factory, I was not temped to buy popcorn at the movies (but didn't give in) even though I was stuffed. I just sounded so good and smelled good too! Not me

I did not give my baby a bottle on Tylenol to play with because he was getting bored and restless while we were out. Not me!

I did not start this post 2 weeks ago and never post it only to finish it on Thursday and am really proud of myself for getting things lined up for posting this on Monday. Nope. Not me!

There you have it....another Not me! Monday. Till the next time I get around to doing this post....
