What I look like this week:
What Rose looks like this week:
This week Rose the size of a grapefruit or around 12 inches and weighs just over 1lb.
Weight gain: 101.4lbs, lost 1lb this week. Luckily, I am going to the doctor this morning. I probably just need to add another snack to my day!
Sleep: I have been sleeping really well this week. I wake up once around 11 or 12pm every night to go to the bathroom, I then go back to sleep until around 530am when Rose decides to go crazy kicking and I can't sleep through them. I actually really enjoy this time alone to have my breakfast and coffee in peace with the news on in the background and Rose kicking away before the boys wake up. It's a really special time and probably my favorite part of the day before all the madness starts.
Eating: I added a picture of some of my favorite snacks and meals from this past week. I made some Trader Joe's banana bread with some peanut butter on it (top left.) Turkey sandwich and cheese with a lot of lettuce and an amazing pickle with a side of my other big craving, strawberries (top right.) Unshelled pistachios are so good when I need to grab quick filling snack (bottom left.) This one has been my absolute favorite this week-- it is one tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter and half a banana mixed together (I used a fork) in a cup spread onto a graham cracker with more strawberries on the side(bottom right.)
Movement: I have been feeling Rose move a lot more this past week-- even Landon and Oliver felt a few big kicks! Their faces were priceless like "She is actually in there Mommy!" Complete shock.
What I'm loving: Being so close to SIX months pregnant.
Symptoms: Still having vivid dreams, strange body parts falling asleep. One night this week, I even woke up to just my thumb asleep. Other symptoms continue to be dry skin, heartburn and braxton hicks randomly.
Exercise: On average, I go on 2 or 3 mile walks about 5 days each week-- somedays more miles somedays less. On Saturday, I walked over 9 miles throughout the day, needless to say I was exhausted that evening.
What I'm looking forward to: Our OB appt. later this morning! We are seeing a doctor I have never met which is exciting!
Countdowns:
Days until our next appointment: Today!
Days until C-Section date: 113 days
Just for a fun comparison, I put on the same shirt I wore for my 23 weeks pictures with Oliver and Trent.

I can't tell if I am carrying smaller with Rose or just differently like more oval shaped.
*Look out later today for an update on my OB appt., hopefully we will get some good ultrasound pictures! It should be fun-- we are bringing all of Rose's big brothers this time!!!
