Total Weight Gain/Loss: Well, I have officially gained 25 lbs. This past week at the OB I didn't gain anything basically because I have been on the go with Big Brother.
Maternity Clothes: Besides shirts and dresses...all I wear is maternity clothes.
Gender: He's a BOY! We have officially named him William Collins and we are going to call him Will. He is named after some very special relatives and friends...which I love that he will have role models to look up to!
Movement: Baby Austin is a mover. We can constantly see his little body moving all the time. Zachary was the same way....praying that I have enough energy to handle play with both of my boys when Will arrives.
What I miss: Sleeping! I am still using my pregnancy pillow but it's not working as well as it was during the 2nd trimester. I am so uncomfortable. It doesn't help that as soon as I get in bed & in position Baby Will thinks it is time to wake up and play. He has some super ninja skills.
Cravings: Desserts and Candy....not a good craving to have. Especially when Kevin is trying to watch what he eats.
Symptoms: For whatever reason most of my symptoms from the previous week have subsided. Some are still present but it wasn't a bad week at all...compared to some and for that I am extremely thankful! Heartburn, swelling, cramping, and fatigue are all a part of my daily schedule but it has been tolerable this week!
Exciting things this week: I had my 2 week OB check up. Baby Will is doing great. I am measuring 37 weeks! YIKES! But not to worry...at this stage in the game with Zachary I was measuring 35 weeks. My OB said that since my body is so compact that the baby has no where to go except out. She's not worried that he's going to be TOO big. She's just glad he is growing and that I have tons of fluid to keep him swimming in.
Welcome to our blog. We'll try to keep you updated on exciting news and events in our family - and of course - share lots of pictures of Zachary. Thanks for visiting! Appreciate the Past. Make the most of the present. Live for the future.
