Total weight gain/loss: 25+
Maternity clothes: yes, I'm not going to buy anything else so just cycling through all my stuff. My basketball shorts are probably most comfortable and just a big Tshirt. But when I do go places of course I wear shorts or a dress.
Stretch marks: one is there and I'm sure I will get more before the baby comes!
Sleep: not good. I haven't been sleeping much at all. The restless leg stuff has turned into me having anxiety before bed every night now because the rls is so tough. And there is nothing specifically that is helping with it. I'm trying to take more vitamins, go on walks, drink more electrolyte filled drinks, and massage before bed. But nothing seems to fully work every time. One thing will help a little once but then the next day won't help at all. So because I'm not sleeping, my chronic fatigue is really flaring up. My body is extremely exhausted. So much where it's hard to breathe because my body is so weak and tired. On Saturday I had a really bad episode and it was scary not being in control of my body. I went to the doc and go labs done and I have a lot of levels that are low. Plus a bit of dehydration. So they gave me fluids and I need to continue with the iron supplement and eat more salty foods and follow up with my midwife this week.
Best moment this week: Going on a date with Jesse after the docs on Saturday. We got in n out and went to see the new mission impossible movie. Besides being so uncomfortable during the movie, it was a blast and sooooo needed. Also Jesse finished his summer semester on Thursday and found out Saturday that he got straight A's. He starts his FINAL semester tomorrow!!!!! Also I got my haircut FINALLY! And it feels much better! Now to get it colored.... Lol
Have you told family and friends: yes
Miss anything: being able to sleep. Having my body to myself. And not being so drained of all the nutrients in putting into my body, since it all goes to the baby. I can't wait to absorb those vitamins and feel a bit better physically!
Movement: lots of movements! Whether it's her getting comfy or kicking me or hiccups, she is usually moving and I love it!
Food cravings: ice cream and in n out!

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope
Symptoms: I'm seeing the pelvic floor therapist still and I saw her today. She put my pelvis back in place and I'm wearing my band around my hips to stabilize it. She said it will continue to come out because I'm getting so close to birth right now. So she is helping me to know how to get it back in place with Jesse's help and also preparing me for birth again so that I don't have so much pain like last time. So mostly pelvic and back pain and the past few days rib pain on the right, wrapping around to my back ribs. She is getting bigger! She is measuring two weeks ahead based on her femur measurement! She has long legs lol
Have you started to show yet: oh ya and I've gained a lot all over. In my legs, love handles, face, and belly!
Gender: girl
Labor Signs: braxton hicks still!!
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: both. Some days happy. And some days moody! Every day is different lol! Poor Violet and Jesse!
