How far along: 39 weeks 

Gender: GIRL!

Maternity clothes:  It's whatever fits at this point. I have one or two "outfits" for when I need to make a public appearance. Haha

Stretch marks: A few new ones, but it's the last thing I'm worrying about right now. 

Belly button in or out:  Out! 

Sleep: Pretty terrible, but it's just practice for what's to come. 

Best moment this week:  Everett being moved to full remote learning until the beginning of February. I'm sad that he won't be going, but it takes a lot of worry on the logistical side of things and he can be home for a bit after the baby is born. 

Worst moment this week:  Having to replace our sewer line and dealing with plumbing issues for a few days. Luckily it got fixed quickly and we chilled at my parents while the repair was being done. 

Miss anything:  Uninterrupted SLEEP. 

Movement:  She's still wriggling away, but is definitely more cramped. 

Cravings:  Salsaritas, which I did end up getting. :)

Queasy or sick: Not sick, but SO OVER the prodromal labor nonsense. I know it means she will most likely come quickly, but it is exhausting. 

Looking forward to: baby girl to finally be here!!!

How far along: 37 weeks!

Gender: Girl

Maternity clothes:  Absolutely yes. Or honestly, anything that fits. 

Stretch marks: a couple here and there

Belly button in or out:  super shallow and somewhat out

Sleep: pretty terrible. I pulled a muscle in my upper abs and it's right where baby girl's feet are so it is pretty uncomfortable. Add in back pain and hip pain; I'm ready to be able to sleep better soon. 

Best moment this week:  Celebrating my birthday and Christmas.

Worst moment this week:  Dealing with the random aches and pains. 

Miss anything: Moving with ease

Movement:  Tons, still. Baby girl is just as active as ever with much less space. Haha

Cravings:  Izze clementine/apple sparkling juice. 

Queasy or sick: Occasionally I'll feel pretty nauseous. 

Looking forward to: Relaxing (ha) with my boys the next few weeks.

Target: http://www.target.com/gift-registry/gift/d39ad43b5d704653bf236384b895b06c

How far along: 35 weeks

Gender: GIRL

Maternity clothes:  If it fits, I'm impressed and wearing it. Haha

Stretch marks: A few new ones here and there but I have plenty from my boys I didn't need anymore. 

Belly button in or out:  Still in, but just barely.

Sleep: Starting to get less and less restful. There are more aches and pains and adjusting is so much more difficult with the belly in the way. 

Best moment this week:  Watching some of my favorite Christmas movies with my boys. 

Worst moment this week:  Working my last day at the salon. It was definitely bittersweet. I love my job and my clients, but I'm sure 3 kids is going to throw me for a loop. 

Miss anything: Being able to sleep without back pain. 

Movement:  Still a bunch. Baby girl doesn't have nearly as much room anymore so her movements are starting to get slightly more painful. 

Cravings:  Salted Caramel Eggo waffles. They are addictive. 

Queasy or sick: Some nausea but nothing terrible. 

Looking forward to:  CHRISTMAS/my birthday!

How far along: 31 weeks

Gender: Girl 

Maternity clothes:  For the most part. I dug out a couple non-maternity sweaters that have worked over the bump and filled out my wardrobe with a few items that will work postpartum as well. 

Stretch marks: No new ones.

Belly button in or out:  In for the most part. 

Sleep: As good as can be expected. 

Best moment this week:  Spending some quality time with my boys. We drove into Uptown for Mellow Mushroom and to play in the park for a bit. 

Worst moment this week:  Ezra figuring out how to climb out of his crib. Luckily it was an easy fix of sticking him in a sleep sack. Hopefully, that will work until he can be trusted in a toddler bed.  

Miss anything: My full lung capacity. 

Movement:  TONS. This girl is wild. Just when I think she can't be any crazier she throws a rave in my uterus. 

Cravings:  None really.

How far along: 28 weeks, finally in the 3rd trimester!

Gender: GIRL

Maternity clothes:  Yes! I'm at the point that I probably need to get a few more things to get me through the last 12 weeks, but it seems like such a waste for a short amount of time. 

Stretch marks: Possibly? I honestly don't keep track of them. 

Belly button in or out:  In.

Sleep: Starting to be disrupted by the aches and pains. 

Best moment this week:  Getting to spend some quality time with David while my awesome mother-in-law took my boys for a few days to help us with some crazy schedule conflicts. 

Worst moment this week: Having a really sore muscle in my back that wouldn't go away without some serious coercion. 

Miss anything: Not having to use the bathroom all the time. It makes traveling more complicated!

Movement:  Tons. Girl is crazy and I love it. 

Cravings:  No real solid cravings this week. 

Queasy or sick: No, thankfully. 

Looking forward to: The upcoming holiday season and spending lots of quality time with family.

Gender: Girl

Maternity clothes:  Yes. 

Stretch marks: A few new ones.

Belly button in or out:  Still in.

Sleep: Mostly good, but starting to get more interrupted. 

Best moment this week:  Getting to spend time together as a family on Saturday. It was a productive day as well with household chores. Also, getting more photos of baby girl at my appointment this week. I wasn't expecting it and I got some 3-D ones!

Worst moment this week:   Getting super worn out from working or cleaning. I'm trying to get a lot done earlier on so we are ready for baby girl before I'm too big. 

Miss anything: Easily reaching my toes. 

Movement:  Tons. This week was the first time some of her movements were uncomfortable.
