Total Weight Gain: Not sure. When I was at the doctor this week, I was wearing heavy winter clothes and it was the end of the day, so I'm not counting that. Never question the logic of a pregnant woman. ;)
Size of Baby: Claire is the size of a durian fruit. Another thing I've never heard of! And from the picture, it looks gross.
Maternity Clothes: Yes
Sleep: Comes and goes. I've started waking up around 4 am - I think this is my body starting to prepare for the baby's schedule.
Movement: She moves all the time! And she's getting so big that it's very noticeable. I spend a lot of time watching my stomach move - it's incredible.
Cravings/Aversions: I'm really thirsty all the time right now.
What I Miss: Nothing
Gender: It's a girl - Claire Campbell!
Mood: I'm exhausted, which makes me emotional. Getting ready for the baby while working so much and trying to keep up with all the Christmas frenzy is overwhelming. It's also been a tough week for some very good friends of mine and with all the horrible stuff on the news since yesterday, it's just a sad time.
Symptoms: Rib and back pain. Lots of swelling in my ankles. My doctor added an appointment this week because of the swelling, but everything checked out fine.
Milestones: I had another beautiful baby shower this week at work. My friends were so sweet to put it together. I got so many nice and generous gifts, many of them handmade. I'm blessed to work with some very sweet people.
Anything Else You'd Like to Share: The bedding arrived this week and it is gorgeous! I'm so pleased with it - it's exactly what I pictured in my mind. I got several gifts at my shower that incorporated the toile fabric in the bedding, which is so neat!
What I'm Looking Forward to: Christmas Break! 4 more days!
No bump picture of me this week, but here's a pic of one of the gifts from my shower!
