Oh man, do I ever look haggard in this picture - ha! Still on bedrest....still no makeup! I took one look at this picture and almost went and put some makeup on to re-take it....but then I thought I'd keep it real and just go with it! This is real life, people.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 35 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon)(according to babycenter.com)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I went to the doctor on Thursday and I had lost 3 1/2 pounds since my appointment the previous week. Dr. Tran measured my belly and I measured right on and had grown in a week, so Aubrey is still growing. She says it was probably just water weight and since I've been on bed rest, I am not retaining as much fluid. It was weird to step on the scale and see that I had LOST weight!
Maternity Clothes: of course!
Gender: girl - Aubrey Lauren
Movement: she's still wiggling around in there! These past few days, she's been kicking or punching up into my right rib cage and it hurts!
Sleep: Early in the week I had some killer heartburn so I barely got any sleep Monday and Tuesday night. Since Wednesday, I have been feeling better and sleep is about the same as it was before (still have to get up a lot to go to the bathroom).
Symptoms: the worst heartburn I've ever had! Also, I think maybe I came down with something on Mon/Tues because I had terrible heartburn Monday night and ended up feeling very nauseated early Tuesday morning. I actually vomited (sorry if TMI) and then felt better for a short while. That did not last long because I was nauseated for most of Tuesday. By Wednesday morning, I felt much better and ever since then, I have barely had any heartburn. I don't know if the heartburn and the vomiting had anything to do with each other, but I'm just glad that's over! (hopefully to never return!)
What I miss: being able to play more with Caleb...and leaving the house :-)
Cravings: nothing specific this week
Best moment this week: probably Wednesday when I started feeling better.....Tuesday was BAD!
What I am looking forward to: tomorrow is my last day of bed rest and then I will be a free woman on Tuesday!
