Weight gain: About the same.
Maternity clothes: Indeed. I haven't purchased anything new, but am wearing maternity tanks and maternity jeans quite often, usually with some kind of loose cardigan or sweater.
Nursery: Fully stocked and looking great! We purchased the crib mattress with some of the gift cards from the shower and so the crib finally has a crib sheet and is looking much more cozy.
Development / Movement: Baby's ears are starting to develop a little more, and Squish is listening carefully to our voices, the pups barking (poor Squish), and may even be moving in response to familiar sounds! Squish's face is now fully formed. Amazing.
Sleep: I wake up in the middle of the night with sore hands and feet from the swelling. That is painful, but it isn't really affecting my sleep too badly.
What I miss: Right now I'm feeling great and not missing much!
Best moment this week: Well, what a week! It has been really busy. Trey started his new job mid-way through last week so this was his first full week at it. I have been hanging out with Anita and Linden lots, and one night we even babysat both Linden and Austin (Diana and Arman's baby boy) on the same night, which was fun! We also had my good friend Angela over for dinner on Wednesday. I haven't seen her in months and she was so excited to see my baby bump.
Looking forward to: Los Angeles! We head out in the morning for our "baby moon". This sounds ridiculous to those who have never heard that term before, I know. It is some kind of fad thing where couples escape on one last kid-free trip. Silly name for it, but what a great idea. Trey and I fly out to LA tomorrow for the long weekend and return Tuesday evening. We're staying in a gorgeous hotel in Santa Monica, renting an SUV, and plan on doing lots of eating, exploring, and relaxing by the pool. I'm sure I will have photos next week for you!
Cravings: Chocolate, of all things. This is a weird one, because I'm not a huge chocolate lover. When given the choice, I'll choose caramel or vanilla anything over chocolate. I'm not craving lots of it, just a piece here and there, but I'm definitely more in the mood for chocolate than usual.
Symptoms: Swollen hands and feet. Thankfully that's the only symptom these days, but it sure is painful. I also hate that I can't wear my wedding rings. Boo!
Workouts: I've been super active, but haven't done a proper workout. Lots of running around and up-and-down the stairs, and lots of walking. Feeling good.
