Pregnancy Highlights:

Total Weight Gain: I didn't look this week,
Maternity Clothes: Everything right now fits but it is just hot! I can't stop sweating these days. All my clothes feel hot. Jeans are hot, tshirts are hot. Everything is hot.

Best Moment of the Week: This week the boys got to go to my appointment with me and listen to the baby's heart beat. They thought it was really fun listening and thought it sounded like a horse galloping.
Another fun moment was when Benjamin got to feel the baby's hiccups. He was laughing and so excited to feel it. I loved hearing him squeal with laughter each time he felt it.

Gender: As far as we know it's still a boy! It is not set in stone, but Brad and I talked about 2 names that we both like but are not set in stone about them. I have a feeling one of them will end up being his name.
What is going on with the Baby: My doctor got the heart beat low on my abdomen so she was pretty sure the baby has turned and is now head down as well. The baby has pretty much reached his birth length and should not grow much longer. From here it is weight that is gained. Baby should weigh about 4 3/4 lbs. a cantaloupe.
Whats Going on with Mother: NESTING! I am on a role with nesting. Today I am pretty worn out after a week of "doing" projects and all kinds of things. Today has been a day to rest from all the work. I have been pretty tired today especially. I didn't sleep well last night as I was not on my air mattress and had to sleep on the couch.

Baby is size of: a Cantaloupe about 18inches long and not quite 5 lbs.
Movement :He was pretty active today and very early this morning. He still moves a bit. It is mostly knees I think.
Cravings: Orange juice again this week. Not really a craving, I have just wanted it often.
What I miss: I miss not feeling stretched and sore all the time.

What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to the nursery being done. The house being cleaned, the projects done and just resting before the baby comes. I am also looking forward to spending more time with Benjamin and Caleb in the weeks to come.
Symptoms: lots of having to pee. The baby is really pressing down on my bladder
and making me have to go to the bathroom often. This is why I keep waking up so early in the morning and can't get back to sleep, I get up to go to the bathroom and then I am wide awake. I guess it is God's way of preparing me for a newborn again. I am not looking forward to no sleep but I sure can't wait to hold the little one.
