Pregnancy Highlights

Baby is (still) about the size of a papaya. We are almost through Month 5!

Maternity Clothes: Pretty much all of the time

Gender: It's a boy! Keagan Drury

Movement: A lot! I think I'm feeling the hiccups now.

Sleep: Not too bad, but not great either. I'm driving Steven crazy with all of my pillows and tossing around, but I'm VERY grateful to have AC to sleep in again. This pregnant woman does NOT sleep well w/o power.

Cravings: Sweets!! Mainly ice cream, but also brownies, rice krispie treats, you name it! I've made a few sweets this week already.

Symptoms: Soreness even after doing nothing. It's especially bad on my legs...maybe they're not used to the extra weight?

Weight Gain: About 17 pounds...a little more than I was hoping (only want to gain 30 total), but the doctor was pleased with my growth so I must be okay. Plus I've moved into D cups! This regular A-cup is thrilled about that!

What I Miss: Cookie dough - seriously might be one of the first things I have after the baby's born. Someone can wrap it up and give it to me as a Christmas present!

Best Moment of the Week: Getting the power back and having (at least) one more day of summer break!

What I'm Looking Forward To: Getting to wear my cute sweaters I bought with my Livingsocial voucher! That store is a little more expensive than I thought (like regular price tops are at least $62), but I found two really cute sweaters in their consignment section. Still a little pricey, especially being consignment, but they're adorable and I want to wear them!

I've been cooped up in the house a little too long recently, so I look a bit tired and blend into the wall with this shirt. I feel like my belly is popping out more and more quickly as time goes on though!
