Happy 4th of July!
Hopefully everybody had a safe and happy Independence Day. I spent the morning prepping food for a picnic and wrestling a watermelon while attempting to cut it into stars. Turns out cutting said melon into 1-inch slices wasn't quite as easy as online said. After flinging it across the kitchen twice and knocking over a candle we finally had stars. After the melon fiasco, we spent the day at a close friend's house holding babies & chowing on burgers while the boys slung beers talking guns & guitars. Nothing says Independence like alcohol and showing off what's in your chamber, amiright?
Aside from Justin's birthday next month this is our last big holiday before baby C joins the party! It's crazy to think come halloween we will have a 1 month old! We are thoroughly enjoying the 3rd trimester and counting down the days until her arrival.
How far along? 28 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? 23 pounds (to be rechecked at our appointment on Thursday)
Maternity clothes? Yep
Stretch marks? No
Sleep? They're not kidding when they say the 3rd trimester wipes you out. Two days ago I slept 17 out of 24 hours. And I pee all. Night. Long.
Best moment this week? Seeing baby G poke a little foot up against my skin! Justin was freaked.
Miss Anything? Bending over to unload the dishwasher. I think the whole scare last week is a thing of the past. My belly feels like it's doubled overnight!
Movement? Yes
Food cravings? Mini wheats, cherries, and coke.
Have you started to show yet? Yep
Gender prediction? It's a girl
Labor Signs? No real signs, braxton hicks and cramping galore any time I walk or stand more than a few minutes
Belly Button in or out? Out for the count
Engagement ring on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy!
Looking forward to? Our ultrasound on Thursday! We're feeling much better about baby's health since my growth spurt. She's also been moving and responding to touch more than ever. I'm selfishly excited to see her again and what all those crazy movements are.
