Week number: 32 weeks! Less than 2 months to go…or in my case about 6 weeks. :)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I guess my math has been a little off on my previous posts..lol…but I've gained about 15ish pounds.
Maternity Clothes: Maternity shirts, but regular jeans with my belly band. However, at 30 weeks the Baby dropped and wowsers…all my jeans are painful to sit in because the seams press against Baby's head since I carry my babies REALLY low. I might need to buy a pair of maternity pants now.
Gender: Surprise! :)
Movement: Lots. I feel hiccups about 3 times a day down in my pelvis and feel lots of kicks, rolls, and wiggles all day long. So sweet!
Sleep: Still sleeping pretty good as far as pregnancy goes.
What I miss + cravings: Kale chips! And honey roasted cashews. If they weren't so expensive, I'd eat them all day long. ;)
Difference between this pregnancy and previous pregnancies: I haven't gained as much weight this time around. I have been at the same starting weight with all three pregnancies but gained 33 pounds with my first, about 30 with my 2nd, and so far I've only gained 15 or so pounds with my 3rd. I'm trying to pack on at least 10 more pounds before baby comes.
What I'm thankful for: That I passed my glucose test. When I was 28-weeks I took the test and "flunked" it by 4 points. Silly me…I ate a banana just before the test and it shot my blood sugar up. OOPS! #Pregnancy brain. My OB was very kind and realized that it was probably the banana that threw me off. So instead of making me take the 3-hour test, she had me re-take the 1-hour test (THANK YOU!!) and I passed with flying colors.
Pregnancy symptoms: Being large. ;)
Changes I've noticed: The baby dropped which has caused a lot more pressure on my bladder and lots of bathroom trips. It's also made wearing pre-preggo jeans much harder.
Milestones: 8-months pregnant!
What I'm looking forward to: Having a negative GBS test at 35 weeks. :) I have previously tested GBS+ for my boys, but this time around I'm dosing up on the probiotics, raw honey, and GSE in hopes I will test negative. This is a big one for me as we live 50 minutes from the hospital, I don't want to be induced, and my labors are way shorter than the 4-hour antibiotic dose. Plus, who wants those antibiotics anyways if you don't need them. :)
