Third Trimester with Baby #4
I can hardly believe that I'm already a full week into my third trimester with baby girl! I have done way less documentation of this pregnancy - life has just been so busy with the girls activities and having a crazy toddler running the show. I've been trying to be in the moment and enjoy my final pregnancy, but to be honest I'm so exhausted, the aches and pains are slowing me down, and I'm ready to meet baby girl!! But we still have a crap ton of things to get done before her arrival!
Here's a little update on my pregnancy...
How far along: 29 weeks
Gender: Girl :)
Weight gain: I have NOT even kept track this pregnancy. It's my last time "eating for two" and I'm taking full advantage.
Maternity clothes: Mixing and matching maternity clothes with my regular clothing that is stretchy or flowy.
Sleep: Sleeping sucks. I've been super tired in the afternoon and napping with Marz, but then can't sleep at night. Last night Marvin was out of town, so I had every pillow to myself which made me sleep like a baby. A newborn baby...knocked out for a few hours and then wide awake until 4am. I made the most of it though by doing some online shopping for baby bows - hashtag: productive.
Best Moments: We just ended show choir competition season with Sophia and it has been a blast! It was our first year of show choir and it was a joyous whirlwind. I think I'll do a short blog post about what I learned in our first year. :) Paris ended her last middle school basketball season, attended high school orientation (what!!), and started training for track season! Marz has gone to my last couple of prenatal appointments and our doctor lets him turn the heart doppler on and off, so he thinks he's pretty much hot shit. He still doesn't acknowledge that there is a baby in my tummy, so I'm hoping that by attending my appointments he comes around soon!
Baby movement: TONS!
Cravings: Fruity candy - Trolli gummy worms are giving me LIFE, slushies, and yogurt
Looking forward to: Naming baby girl! We've decided on her first name, but we are still undecided on a middle name.
