Another month down and I’m back with another update. Noah
- How far along? 36 weeks
- Total weight gain/loss: 45lbs – due to hives and swollen feet I’m basically immobile. It’s been hard in every way – debilitating pain, lack of mobility and mental struggle of gaining weight. I lost 25lbs last summer and am now up 25lbs from where I started in that struggle.
- Maternity clothes? Yes but mostly same clothes on repeat, I’m trying to avoid a one-use wardrobe
- Stretch marks? Yes – old ones are growing
- Sleep: Rough. Hives wake me up in pain so I have to take cold foot baths for up to 30 minutes or get a cold press. Plus I’m trying to drink 120oz of water a day and so I constantly have to go to the bathroom PLUS Lucas and Sam are refusing to sleep by themselves so I’m always with one of them.
- Best moment to date: He’s moving a lot lately and vitals wise had a good check-up. Desperately want another healthy baby boy to add to my collection.
- Miss Anything? Being able to function. Hives were horrifically bad for two week. I couldn’t move. I’m better than that now but not really. It’s hard, especially since I don’t expect it to improve post-delivery.
- Movement: He’s pretty active, even Danny gets to feel him now.
- Food cravings: Still burgers and Coldstone
- Anything making you queasy or sick: No.
- Have you started to show yet: Yes, I feel like a whale
- Gender: Boy – Noah Daniel
- Looking forward to: Meeting this little guy.
