Happy Last week of my second trimester! 13 weeks and 89 days to go! Hopefully exactly 3 months from today or sooner Andy and I will be meeting our sweet Annalise!
So, how's baby?
According to what to expect she should weigh over 2 pounds, and is about 15 inches long! Her kicks are definitely getting stronger. Earlier in the week I was in bed and she was performing her nightly kick boxing routine. So, I turned on the light and lifted my shirt. Sure enough I could see my belly move every time she kicked. It was the coolest, weirdest thing ever! Very Alien like. I feel like she is turned sideways with her head on the right side of me and her feet on the left because most of the time I feel movement in either the center or left side.
How's Mommy?
As of this morning I have gained a total of 27 pounds. I've almost maxed out my 30 that you're supposed to gain so now I'm shooting for 40. If I can keep it at 40 I'll be happy. My fingers are crossed. My most frequent cravings have been toast with peanut butter, honey nut cheerios (or cereal in general), and chocolate chip cookies (I try to keep this one to a minimum). I don't even know if you would call them so much cravings, I just really like to eat those things. I've also started getting leg cramps at night. They haven't been too bad though. I just have to flex my foot and they go away.
I have my glucose test this Thursday so that should be fun....NOT! I'm not really into the whole fasting, can't even drink water type deal. My goal this week is to work some more on Annalise's baby book. I haven't really done much with it since Christmas, and the time is flying by! Andy and I did not do much on our to-do list this weekend. I blame it on the cold I started getting Friday. Next weekend we'll pick that back up and hopefully, FINALLY clean out what will be the baby's room, and get everything ready to start painting! I even found a coupon in the Sunday paper for 15% off paint at Sherwan Williams!
Pretty exciting!
