Total weight gain/loss: 37+lbs. as of Wednesday I weigh 162. I'm sure I'm at 40+ though.
Maternity clothes: yes but most of my clothes are getting pretty tight!
Stretch marks: yes, I see one for sure and I'm guessing if there is one there are a lot more that I just can't see right now :(
Sleep: still terrible. I am really struggling with the no sleep. Although I feel like I've kind of adapted to it at this point. I know that I won't be able to sleep any time before midnight at the earliest. So I just don't go into bed until then. But I have an anxiety now about sleep. And that sucks. I'm constantly worrying if I will be able to sleep tonight or not.
Best moment this week: My doc appt on Wednesday was Aug.26 and that is exactly one month till my due date! I have had a lot of fun moments this week and Violet has been so good for me. We got a new dishwasher, so that is exciting! Spending qt with Jesse too! Life is going to change so much again and I want to get in as much time as possible.
Have you told family and friends: yes
Miss anything: sleep! And not being so hungry! I can't believe how much I eat this pregnancy and I just have no control. I'm ready to not have such an achy, uncomfortable body too.
Movement: oh ya. She moves a lot at night before bed. That is usually when she is most active. And yesterday she kept moving her hand or elbow accross my stomach and it looked like she pushed out a good two inches. So crazy to see! She also punches me in the ovary at the same time she kicks me in the ribs. It's so crazy how big and heavy she is getting. I remember with Violet everything being so new and different. I think I'm close to as big as I was with Violet when I gave birth right now. But for some reason it seems easier. Also my band/belt thing that I'm wearing helps a lot.
Food cravings: ice cream and burgers and pineapple juice and salty food.

Anything making you queasy or sick: not really, although I am starting to just feel all around a lot more nauseated than I have been. I think it's just the end and everything is getting squished.
Symptoms: abdominal pain, skin stretching, pelvic pain, mid and low back pain, swelling has started, vision changes, headaches, tired, body is heavy, hungry, nauseas, uncomfortable, peeing all the time or feeling like I have to pee all the time, hormonal
Have you started to show yet: ya
Gender: girl
Labor Signs: lots of Braxton hicks still. And some cramping this week. I get checked on Tuesday, so we will see for sure then.
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On and off. I swell at night so I don't wear my rings to sleep. But to be honest if rather just not wear my rings right now. It's too hot for them lol
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am so up and down when imam pregnant. One day I will be great and the next I just feel cranky or in a funk. I'm glad this is my last pregnancy. Because as much as I love my girls, I don't like being so different emotionally. I am a wreck all the time it feels like. And I know I'm hard on myself and feel like it's worse than it is. But I'm ready to sort of stabilize my emotions again. I'm so nervous about having two kids and how my life will change so much. All selfish things. But I also obsess over Violet and if I am doing a good enough job as a mom and if she will be happy having me as a mom. I worry too much, and when I'm pregnant it's 5million times worse!

Looking forward to: hopefully seeing my family next weekend. My appt on Tuesday. And just getting the last few things for the baby. I'm glad mostly everything is ready but I feel like I've been kind of lazy finishing preparations. I haven't had that intense "nesting" feeling yet! We will see. I'm guessing she will come in my 39th week like Violet did. Which gives us more time to prepare. I feel so torn. I'm physically ready to have her out but mentally and emotionally not ready to have two yet! I might ask to be induced at 39 weeks this time around esp since she is already measuring ahead of schedule. Who knows what will happen. I can't believe I'm down to the last 4 weeks!!!!!!!! So cool!
