Total Weight Gain: Around 11-12lbs
Names: NOPE..still up in the air!
Regular Clothes or Maternity: Both. I am still wearing my regular jeans and the belly band. Maternity shirts all the way!
Stretch Marks: Just from my little Noah Bug :)
Sleep: Having a lot of dreams but sleeping pretty well.
Fitness: I wish I could say I have been walking :( But the only exercise I am getting is running around with Noah :) Don't get me wrong, I almost consider that moderate exercise!!
Miss Anything: I'm starting to miss wearing all my clothes. It's definitely hard getting dressed everyday. Wish I could wear sweats all the time! And WINE of course..Wine will be something I miss until the day I can have a glass haha.
Baby Movement: I am feeling her a lot and loving every second. I think she might be a little stubborn. Every time I tell Greg to feel, I swear she stops moving! The evenings when I get to sit and relax is when I feel her most. It's funny to feel her move on both sides of my belly.
Food Wants/Needs/Have-to-Haves: Sandwiches and cookies :)
Foods that Make You Queasy/Sick: Meatloaf
Have You Started Showing Yet: You could say that ;)
Boy or Girl Predictions: It's a GIRL! :)
Labor Signs: Noo but feeling occasional tightness, which I am guessing is a slight case of some braxton hicks.
Belly Button In/Out: Holy moly it's definitely out!
Wedding Rings On or Off: On
Mood: Pretty normal. I've been a little emotional the past few days, lets hope that changes!
Pains: Lower back pain and tailbone pain.
Feelings About Being Pregnant: Time is FLYING by. I can't believe I am already in my 3rd trimester. I am feeling pretty good. I catch myself waddling here and there but correct myself right away haha. I think my belly is going to be very pointed compared to how my belly was with Noah. I feel like the baby is sitting higher also. I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HER! I wish I could prepare a little better. The only part that's tough with the Coast Guard is that we are in transition. We are not in our own home where I can get the baby's room ready. I do not feel prepared!! It freaks me out. I know everything will fall into place but I wish I could give her a special welcoming like we did with Noah. I wish I could have her room all decorated. But all that little stuff aside, I am extremely grateful to be in our hometown with all our family and friends. I'm so glad everyone will be able to meet her before we move to our next destination.
How's the Big Brother: Noah is fabulous! He is one happy kid. He's 2 years 3.5 months to be exact! He is loving gymnastics (his new favorite activity), perfecting somersaults and swinging on the rings are his favorite, he's full of energy all day every day and keeps me on my toes! Playing outside is a necessity for this little guy, and if he's not outside, he is inside playing trains! He thinks the baby is growing in his belly lol. I watch him take care of his baby (meaning Baby Greta, yes, THE Baby Greta!), and I already know he is going to be an amazing big brother. I kind of feel like I should start soon on preparing Noah for a big change. But then part of me knows that he just doesn't understand. So instead, we decided to make some changes BEFORE the baby is born, one being the pacifier. We FINALLY took his pacifier away! Yay! We are on night 4 and it's going pretty well. He doesn't really ask for it which is awesome. The first night was the hardest, it was almost like "crying it out" all over again. We aren't quite sure if he just didn't want to sleep or if he just didn't know how to soothe himself to sleep. Let's just say, it was a rough one for a good hour and a half! Last night was the first night he slept through the night so fingers crossed everything keeps getting better. Next, we are considering potty training. I've never really wanted to force it, and with all the changes coming up in the next few months, we can see it back firing if we start now. So it's still up in the air. Noah is close to being ready. When he is naked he goes in the potty but if their's a diaper, he will tell us after or not at all. So we will see!
Noah's Kitchen he got for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa all put together! :)
Noah, Jack, and Dallas playing on the Trampoline. TOO FUN!
Coloring is a new interest. He is always so proud when he is finished
