how far along: 35 weeks
weight gain & stretch marks?: 16 gained, no stretchmarks
best moment this week: finishing up my "to get" list for the baby's room! and having a fun little weekend. spending time with kameron when we have nothing specific to do is the best.
worst moment this week: nada. it was a good week.
miss anything?: fitting in between my car and the trash can in the garage...looks like the trash needs to move until further notice.
symptoms & movement: rib pain and headaches mostly. i also don't sleep anymore (or it feels that way). but every time i feel a little jab to my ribcage, i smile :)
cravings & aversions: no specific cravings, but aversions to meat again
looking forward to: the next 35 days! i know that due dates are just an estimate, but it feels so close.  wahoo!!!
things to add: only 3 weeks left of work until i go on maternity leave! not that i'm counting.

best moment this week: beating iowa on saturday :)
worst moment this week: nothing i can think of specifically!
miss anything?: just the usual
symptoms & movement: rib pain, headaches, sleeplessness, and braxton hicks. movement has slowed down a little but i still feel it plenty...i think boo is running out of room in there!
cravings & aversions: craving fried rice and cold things again. no specific aversions
looking forward to: our hospital tour this week
things to add: need to go apologize to the t-shirt in this picture...clearly it needs to be retired until further notice.

how far along: 33 weeks
weight gain & stretch marks?: 13 gained, no stretchmarks
best moment this week: seeing boo for (maybe) one last time on the ultrasound screen!
worst moment this week: when we were tailgating, someone told me that they didn't like capone. you know my mama bear claws came out.
miss anything?: feeling normal
symptoms & movement: rib pain, being constantly hungry, being incapable of putting on my own shoes. so much movement that sometimes i feel like an elbow is going to come busting out of my belly button
cravings & aversions: craving pumpkin pie blizzards from DQ...so good. aversions to brats still, and spaghetti maybe.
looking forward to: watching the iowa state game this weekend & my friend annie's birthday party!
things to add: currently taking bets for how long my belly button can hold on to it's "innie" status...we are looking pretty shallow and it's freaking me out

Monday, September 1, 2014

how far along: 32 weeks
weight gain & stretch marks?: between 12-15 gained, no stretchmarks so far.
best moment this week: the return of college football! 
worst moment this week: feeling the aftermath of not drinking enough water after tailgating for a whole day
miss anything?: just the regular things at this point- not getting winded so easily, sleeping through the night, etc.
symptoms & movement: being constantly tired and rib pain. still lots of movement, especially the past few days!
cravings & aversions: not craving anything specific right now unless you count lots of ice water. major aversion to brats all of a sudden...super inconvenient for tailgating!
looking forward to: our ultrasound on thursday
things to add: our due date is officially next month!! eeek i am so beyond excited! :)
