Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm pleading the 5th.
How big is baby: Baby is nearly 5 pounds and almost 18 inches long, the size of an average cantaloupe!
Stretch Marks: Still none! I've been lotioning up the belly twice daily now in hopes that I can keep those suckers away (and hoping that, above all else, genetics will stay on my side)!

Maternity Clothes: Oh good grief, yes. Although I'm still able to wear some tops and dresses that are non-maternity, just have to buy ones that are forgiving in cut and length.
Sleep: Sleep has been horrible. When I wake up to use the bathroom, I'm lucky if I can get back to sleep. I find myself lying awake and before too long baby boy wakes up and starts his drumming session. That, coupled with the road construction they're doing in front of our house (from 11pm-5am, WTF?!), sleep is a thing of luxury that I haven't been privy to as of late.
Gender: A moving, thumping, hiccuping BOY!
Movement: Definitely. He's found my ribs, too, and enjoys digging his feet up in them. He also likes sticking his butt out so often I'll look down at my belly and it is lopsided and so weird looking. I'm loving all the movement though, even if it hurts at times.
Food Cravings/Aversions: I have been craving marionberry pie lately, but other than that I haven't really had many cravings throughout this pregnancy.
Belly Button: Still an innie but incredibly shallow and weird looking. I don't think it'll pop out.
Symptoms: Leg and foot cramps, numb and tingly hands, difficulty sleeping, exhaustion, and getting fuller faster since baby boy is squishing my stomach. While nearing the end, I can understand why so many women are just done. Pregnancy is hard on the body!
What I miss: Bending over. With feet in my ribs, not such an easy feat. Also miss my cute, little clothes. Can't wait to get back to working out and taking care of me.
Looking forward to: Getting baby boy's room done! My brother came down this past weekend and remodeled our closets for us, which was much needed to give us maximum amounts of storage and usability in our tiny home. Now I just need to finish painting the trim in his room and then we can start setting everything up! And before I get any comments, it's no-VOC paint, which means it's fume free and perfectly okay for me to be around. Plus, we still open the windows.

My favorite husband quote/moment of the week: Hubster has been so lovely and attentive these past few weeks by helping me to relax with massage, relaxation exercises we're learning in our Bradley classes, and helping me heave myself up and off the couch on a regular basis. Not to mention, he's been working on all his days off to get our "To Do" list done before baby boy arrives which means he's not relaxing much. I'm so lucky to have such a hard working, dedicated man to call my husband!
