I’m feeling: Good and ready for baby
Total weight gain: 32 lbs
Baby Rote’s size: about the size of a mini watermelon (19-20 in, 7 lbs)
This week: Was good and fast. My group B Strep test was negative so that was exciting news since last pregnancy it was positive, not that it was a huge deal but I plan to have a natural birth again so hopefully this time I won't need an IV.
Midwife appointment was good, she thought baby had dropped even more than last week and heart rate was 152bpm.
I was pretty emotional this week - really trying to soak up all of Quinn lately. She will always be my firstborn but the thought of her not being my baby anymore just really got to me this week! That and we sent her for a sleepover with my parents on Tuesday night and I missed her something terrible.
Our photographer came out on Saturday, so now that we got some family maternity pictures this little babe can come at anytime.
Today our oldest niece turned 11 - a great reminder that time FLIES and I need to cherish every bit of my babies, while they are still babies and not able to wear the same shoe size as me!!
Maternity clothes: same, same. However I think I'll be in the market for new nursing bras - favorites welcome!
Sleep: Not as many bathroom wakeup calls this week so that was nice. Got a charlie horse a few mornings ago and my leg is still sore from it.
Best moment this week: Maternity pictures - Quinn called our photographer "Auntie" the whole time, haha safe to say she is well liked!!
Movement: Movement and jabs are feeling more intense these days as baby's space is limited. I do think I've been having some light contractions here and there, you'd think I'd know for sure being the 2nd time around and all but it is so minor I'm really not sure!
Food cravings: just wanting chocolate shakes on the regular
Food aversions: nothing
Belly button in or out: it must be more out than flat because Quinn always likes to push on it
Looking forward to: Baby. Quinn is changing her mind and now says she is going to have a sister so I'll be excited to see.
