baby #2: week 34

november 11-17

what has been going on this week: went to the children's museum with carolina and naomi, had dinner at spill the wine with anna and michelle, went to duluth for the weekend with azalea

size of baby: he weighs almost 5 pounds and measures 18 inches long. the size of a cantaloupe. he is like....a real baby! :) 

maternity clothes: same old. many of my maternity shirts are getting too small - that's always a fun realization! 

purchases: i couldn't resist getting a pair of christmas jammies for him, now hopefully i don't go too far past my due date!

nursery: thatcher painted the walls gray while azalea and i were out of town this weekend! it looks so pretty! here is a little sneak peek: 

symptoms: the usual - broken out skin, hungry and tired a lot, braxton hicks contractions. had my little scare on friday, but thankfully all is well with baby. haven't had that pain anymore. 

movement: he hasn't slowed down too much yet, and he feels so big! 

gender: little man!

food cravings/aversions: i have no willpower when it comes to sweets lately. absolutely none. 

morning sickness: still that liiiiitle bit of nausea in the morning. i've just accepted that it probably won't go away. at least it doesn't last long. 

what i miss: sleeping comfortably and not feeling huge. sounds about right!  

best moment of the week: seeing dani and gino in duluth, getting the nursery painted! 

what thatcher is saying: he is hoping to finish up painting the nursery trim this week, so we can get some furniture set up in there. yay! 

sleep: i wake up a lot and rolling over is a huge chore. still only 1 bathroom trip (or less) per night, though! sort of amazed by that.

what i'm looking forward to: finishing the nursery, picking his name (i feel like the one name we can both agree on is going to be it at this point, but we'll see!)
