Total weight gain/loss: +20 lbs total.
Maternity clothes? Even some of my maternity tops are starting to get a bit too short. I am carrying lower this time, I think, and my clothes fit differently than they did the first time around.
Sleep: Not so great lately, and it's only partially pregnancy related. My crazy toddler has had some bizarre habits lately, including waking up for the day around 5:30 am. I think it has to do with teething, as he is cutting his upper eye teeth right now.
Best moment this week: Celebrating Thanksgiving with Justin's family, getting a couple days off work, and putting up our Christmas tree!
Movement: Our little boy is still very active in there. He gets the hiccups quite often, too.
Food cravings: After satisfying my craving for Thanksgiving dinner (several times over, thanks to all the yummy leftovers), I have been in the mood for hot tea in the evenings. I am sipping a cup of peppermint tea at the moment, actually.
Food aversions: I hate the smell of spaghetti-os, which sucks because Colin loves them and eats them for dinner a couple times a week!
Gender: It's a boy! Reid William Vaughan.
Labor Signs: Still having some contractions here and there. The OB I saw this week said that as long as I'm not having more than 4-6 per hour, it's totally normal. When I do have them, drinking water and lying on my left side (as recommended) seems to help.
Belly Button in or out? It's really starting to flatten out more, but it's still in.
What I miss: Sleep. And it doesn't look like I'm going to get it anytime soon.
What I am looking forward to: Christmas! I really hope Reid decides to wait until after Christmas to be born. While I'm excited to be able to hold him in my arms, I just don't feel ready to be a mom of two yet. I have such mixed emotions about everything right now.
Milestones: My little guy should be about as tall as he's going to be when he's born. From this point on, he is mostly just accumulating fat. He should weigh somewhere around five pounds now, although we haven't seen him on ultrasound since the anatomy scan at 20 weeks, so there's no way to tell for sure. My belly was measuring right on track at my last appointment, though, which is good! My next visit is scheduled for December 5th.
