How is Mama Feeling?
Weight Gain: +2 pounds putting me at 98.4 lbs
Exercise: A few long walks in the morning
Craving: Chocolate everything!!! And cold lettuce... very weird
Eating: Bagels, salads, chocolate ice cream, soup, and some pumpkin pie
Maternity clothes: I started wearing mostly maternity tops this week but not bottoms yet just maternity leggings because it is annoying to constantly be pulling the jeans up.
Symptoms:
- Tired: Not as tired as I have been but still going to bed around 9/930
- Heartburn: Heartburn after eating especially at night when I lay down
- Stuffy Nose: Especially in the morning
- Crazy Dreams
- Movement: Feeling daily kicks usually in the morning or at night when I am focused most on them and sitting still
- Itchy belly: Definitely growing (using bio oil everyday usually)
Looking Forward To: Going to the beach one last time as a family of FOUR for a long weekend away with family.
Last Wednesday night, Matt felt the baby kick!!! We were laying in bed watching TV and he felt 3 or 4 little kicks. I couldn't believe he would feel them this early but I felt them from the inside at the same time so I know it was the real thing. Feeling your baby kick and being able to share those moments with the one you love seriously never gets old. I can't wait for those little jabs to turn into full blown kicks. Also, I am glad to know our little boy is having a good time in there ha ha!
Here are some pictures from our recent ultrasound where we found out our 3rd baby is going to be a BOY!
And some outtakes from the reveal:
We couldn't feel more blessed and so in love already.
