( My tummy feels so much bigger this week than last!)
How far along? 26w6d
Size of baby? He is the size of an a Lettuce Head...and he going to start opening his eyes soon!
Total weight gain/loss: +9 from my pre-pregnancy weight of 122. Weighing in at 131
Maternity clothes? Some here and there...I am trying to make what I have work since I only have three more months!
Pregnancy symptoms this week? Back Pain... had to make a trip to Labor and Delivery last Sunday because it was so bad and than I had Braxton Hicks Contractions, so pretty much whatever you read online (no one should read anything online) says I am having back contractions! It scared me and since I was getting ready to head back to work to next day, I thought it would be wise to go and get checked, just to make sure I was going into Pre-Term Labor. After two hours of being hooked up to a monitor, they gave me a pill to relax my muscles and sent me home. I haven't had much back pain since and my Braxton Hicks haven't been coming as often. I am hoping it was just the way Baby Camden was positioned, but I have an appointment on Thursday, so Dr. Bierer will check me then.

Stretch marks? Still no stretch marks! YAY!
Sleep: It amazes me how much symptoms and sleep can change from week to week. I had a pretty bad night sleep on Saturday since I was having extreme back pain, but ever since then I have been sleeping better. Not eight hours or straight sleep, but I am getting more sleep. It's probably because I went back to work on Monday and I am up at the crack of dawn again!
Best moment this week: Baby Camden is moving so much!Feeling him wiggle, kick and move is an amazing thing. Also, John designed my baby shower invites for his mom and my mom. Things are beginning to feel more real and real everyday!
Miss Anything? I miss a lot of things, but would give them all up for this little baby boy :)
Movement: Lots and lots of movement this week! Sometimes it has hurt, like when I get kicked in the ribs, but it's so great to feel him moving.
Food cravings: Cereal
Anything making you queasy or sick: no really this week. No heartburn or indigestion ( told you it's weird! Certain symptoms come and go.I'm sure these will be back soon)
Have you started to show yet: Yes...everyone at work was so surprised to see my belly because when they say me three months ago, I didn't have one.
Gender: baby boy :)
Labor Signs: well...thought I was having contractions in my back, still don't know if they really were, but I am happy to say I haven't had anymore this week. THANK GOODNESS. Camden...you need to stay put for at least another 12 weeks ha ha
Belly button in or out? It's halfway out and halfway in.
Wedding rings on or off? On, but I did have some swelling in my hands the other day.
Mood? Happy to be pregnant, but definitely experiencing some hormonal moods!
Looking forward to: Our next appointment on Thursday! Nothing is better than seeing our cute Baby Camden. Even though it is my Glucose test, I am still looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to Baby Showers in a month!!
