Total weight gain/loss: 25+ lbs! I bet more since my apt last Monday. I am eating so so much it's insane.
Maternity clothes? Yes! I'm wearing a lot of dresses and skirts and my few maternity shorts and jeans. I'm feeling so large I need some comfy loungewear. I don't have anything really for at home.
Stretch marks: no!
Sleep: up and down. Somedays are better than others. I wake up a lot to get comfortable and also to pee. But other than that pretty good. I'm exhausted during the day and when I take a nap with Violet I don't sleep as well at night. So I've been trying to not nap while she is even though I want to take advantage of this time before baby comes! I've also had some crazy episodes of restless leg syndrome this week... for hours at night. It's probably the worst part so far about pregnancy. Because I am exhausted and wanting to sleep but can't because my arms and legs feel like they need to move around! Sucks! I'm just so much more tired lately. So I'm anticipating that just being the norm from here on out!
Best moment this week: spending time with my little family! And starting to get things for the girls' room ready. We rearranged some of the furniture in their room and I'm really excited to get things on the walls and get the rest of the room prepared! It's been a long road of not preparing for the baby because we have had such a crazy life lately, that I'm really looking forward to preparing/nesting and getting ready for the baby. Also, Jesse and I got to go to the temple Saturday night after he got off work and it was really really needed! I know that I need to keep going before the baby comes because it will be so much harder to go after the baby is here. Jesse and I have been going through a lot of trials and hard times and the temple is such a peaceful place to escape!
Have you told family and friends: yes!
Miss anything: being able to breathe normally. A mixture of getting bigger and the anemia that is giving me a hard time breathing! Being able to move around in bed comfortably or sit comfortably or carry Violet or put her in bed easily or get her on the potty easily. There are many things! I'm not feeling incredibly uncomfortable yet, with how big I am so I need to remember that and count my blessings!
Movement: yes, she is so funny. She had no problem getting comfortable in there and jabbing me with her knee or shin or feet. She moves a lot and it's really cute.
Food cravings: the one thing I have been craving for like 2 months now is McDonald. I want two cheeseburgers and big soda! Yuck! I NEVER eat mcdonalds. It grosses me out. But I like need it all the time! I don't know what it is about pregnancy that makes me crave burgers! It must be a little bit of the anemia. But so strange to me and I hate it because I'm trying to save as much as possible so I don't go like ever. But I'm constantly wanting it soooo bad. Where I'm mad that I can't go buy it because we need to prepare for the baby coming. Hahaha
Anything making you queasy or sick: no
Symptoms: some pelvic pain, hungry, cravings, thirsty! Tired, hormonal, anxious, and tired!! Lol
Have you started to show yet: oh yes
Gender: girl girl girl
Labor Signs: no been having a few Braxton hicks that I kept justifying as baby just being in a weird position and making me uncomfortable. But they are definitely Braxton hicks! Hahahaha
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: happy. I'm loving my little family right now and going to the temple and doing the things that I know I am supposed to are really helping me to be so thankful for my life and I am happy!

Looking forward to: getting the girls' room ready and finished. There are things I still need for her and many things that I want but probably won't get to save money. But I'm excited to at least get things prepared and put away. I want everything in its place so that I don't have to worry when I am really big and uncomfortable.
