25 Weeks!

How Far Along: In this picture, 25w2d

Total Weight Gain:  9 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Yup!

Stretch Marks: Nope!

Sleep: Horrible!  I have insomnia every single night.  Last night I didn't fall asleep until about 1am and I was up by 5.  I know that 4 hours of sleep is NOT enough to keep me going, I guess that explains my headache.  I have about 2-3 hours of insomnia every night, I believe it is slowly killing me.

Best Moment this week: Well we got the crib and glider and changing table and bassinet now so that's pretty exciting. The room isn't painted so none of it is really set up but we're making some progress!

Worst Moment this week: There was one day I didn't really feel her move very much and to a much smaller degree when she did.  I quietly freaked out for 24 hours but it must have just been a lazy day!  Also, I took a tumble down my steps... that wasn't fun!  My entire backside is covered in bruises.  It hurts to stand.  It hurts to sit.  On the bright side, I didn't fall forwards so I'm thankful to the Lord for that. 

Miss Anything? Still caffeine, and I'm trying to cut back on the sugar some but I don't know if I miss it yet or not, I'm guessing I don't...

Movement: Yep!  Everyday, but some more than others!

Food Cravings: Nothing in particular at this moment actually!

Anything making you sick or queasy: Nope!

Gender: Female

Labor Signs: Nope!

Symptoms: INSOMNIA

Belly Button in or out? Still in, but getting more and more shallow by the day! :(

Wedding Rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy except for today because I'm SOOOO sleepy due to lack of sleep.  Also, I guess my pregnancy hormones are getting out there because apparently the students are saying things like, "that's not Mrs. Wolfe talking, that's those hormones..." and I thought I was doing well! LOL

Pregnancy Week 24

How Far Along: 24 weeks

Total Weight Gain:  6 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Yep, both my shirt and pants are from Motherhood Maternity

Stretch Marks: Nope! 

Sleep: I'm sleeping great until about 6am then I toss and turn for an hour or so.

Best Moment this week: This has been a pretty uneventful week… I'm not complaining.  I'm a strong believer in the "no news is good news" thing.  I go back to the doctor on Tuesday for another ultrasound and check up… yay!

Miss Anything? Nope, I gave in and had a Pepsi… I know, I'm a bad mother.  But I enjoyed every single second of it.  I haven't craved it since so I just needed to give in!

Movement: Yep, and her movements are getting harder and more pronounced.  There are times I can actually LOOK at my belly and see her moving, that's pretty cool!

Food Cravings: Just sweet stuff still.  I had a piece of Kentucky Silk Pie last night that was divine.  I also dreamt about strawberry ice cream so I had to go buy that and it was divine as well! :)

Anything making you sick or queasy: Nope!

Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: Nope, just moving baby!!

Belly Button in or out? In still.

Wedding Rings on or off? On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy all the time.  

23 Weeks:

Pregnancy Week 23:

How Far Along: 23 weeks, 4 days

Total Weight Gain: It fluctuates between 5 & 6 daily

Maternity Clothes: Yep, daily! As seen in this picture though, I have on maternity leggins but an awesome shirt given to me from the one and only Kathy Patrick, it isn't a maternity shirt but it is SO comfy!

Stretch Marks: Nope! Thank God!

Sleep: Ah, it comes and goes.  Some nights I sleep perfectly, some nights I'm up every hour on the
hour.  The cat has been waking me up an hour before my alarm and it's starting to make me angry.  My hips hurt at night so I have to change positions often.

Best Moment This Week: CHIROPRACTOR!  Oh Heaven's to Mergatroid I felt like a new woman when I walked out of there!  My hips and back even felt better last night!  I'm planning on going "as needed" but I feel like I'll "need" it twice a week! :)

Miss Anything?  Pepsi.  Oh my gosh, when Kyle gets a Pepsi, I take the biggest, longest, coldest swig I've had in so so long.  It's divine, I would feel guilty if I drank a whole one though.

Movement: Yep, all the time.  She especially moves when I sit or lie down.  If I'm up walking/teaching/moving, she's pretty still.

Food Cravings: Sweet stuff still.  Last night I dreamt about a giant waffle cone with 2 big scoops of strawberry ice cream.  Unfortunately, in the po-dunk town there is NOWHERE to get one, so that craving is still un-satisfied and it will probably eat me alive until I drive somewhere that has hand-dipped ice cream and waffle cones!

Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!  I can even eat meat now!

Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: Moving baby and swelling. If I get warm my fingers swell so badly.  Friday night I went to the basketball game and it was SO HOT in that gym that I had to take my rings and watch off while in the stands because I knew if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to get them off.  They're back on now but shewww it had me worried!

Belly Button in or out?  In, but it still looks weird... really it's the spot where it was pierced all those years ago, but it's looking like it's on its way out! :(

Wedding Rings on or off: On for now.... that may change soon though (see above)

Happy or Moody most of the time?  Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy!  Kyle and I were discussing last night how I am not sad, sappy, naggy, angry, or easily annoyed like they portray pregnant women on TV!  I'm genuinely mostly happy.  Although, today during class, one kid broke the scalpel just as I handed it to him and it sorta made me snap (not the thing you want to happen while you're carrying around a bin of sharp objects.  I wasn't very nice to him, but he deserved it. :)

22 Weeks

Pregnancy Week 22:

How Far Along: 22 weeks, 4 days (to be exact)

Total Weight Gain:  5 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Oh yes, every day! They're so comfy!

Stretch Marks: Nope! 

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty well, I got another cold (my 3rd of the pregnancy) so I'm snotting all night, I have to sleep with a kleenex stuffed up my nostril :(

Best Moment this week: Feeling her kick all the time!

We also went IN to BuyBuyBaby and picked out the stroller and diaper bag.  I also got a breast pump for a deal I couldn't pass up!  We're still on the lookout for a mirrored dresser for the baby's room, we may give up on it!

We also got one shower booked: My Hazard Shower.  It's booked for April 7, I'll be 35 weeks then and probably one big fat mama!

Miss Anything? I was really craving a mountain dew today but I told myself "no"... so I still miss caffeine.  I also miss sleeping on my back still.

Movement: Yep, all over the place.  She's especially active late at night and when I sit here at this computer.  She's still pretty elusive from the outside though.  If I feel her moving, i'll put my hand on my belly to feel but then she moves somewhere else so I end up chasing her all over my stomach!

Food Cravings: Not really, I think I'm craving sweets a little less than I have been.  Last night I had saltines and peanut butter and that was heavenly.

Anything making you sick or queasy: Nope!  I could probably eat anything... except McDonald's, that does not sound appetizing to me.

Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: Moving baby and pregnancy brain.  I don't know if it's too early for this crap but I'll tell you what, I can't communicate at all.  I stutter and lose the words I'm looking for, it's very odd.  More often than before, I'll walk into a room and forget why I was there, I'm forgetting students' names... it's very odd!

Belly Button in or out? In but it's looking a little odd lol

Wedding Rings on or off? On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy all the time.  Except today during class when I showed an episode of Rescue 9-1-1 and a baby fell from a 7-story building, it made me cry... and some songs on K-Love make me cry every now and then.  But other than that, I'm in a spectacular mood.  My students have even noticed by saying that they like me pregnant because I'm "nicer"... whatever that means!!!
