Total weight gain: At last week's doc appointment, I was up 20 pounds, which is almost exactly on track to 1 lb a week since my last weigh-in. Should gain at least 10 more before baby comes.
Maternity clothes: All maternity all the time! Loving dresses and skirts... thank goodness it's summer. Makes dressing the belly slightly easier.
Stretch marks: I'm using Burt's Bees Belly Butter every morning right after the shower. Not sure if it's the lotion or the good genes (thanks mom!), but still no stretch marks!
Sleep: Pregnancy pillow is a life-saver. Sleeping well on my left side, but if I roll on by back or right side I feel like I can't breath or my liver is being squished. Starting to get up at least once a night to pee... yipee. Also been having some charley horses if I don't drink enough water during the day.
Best moment of this week: We're still busy busy (hence the lack of posts) and having a great summer! We spent 10 days at my parent's house in California. It was so relaxing and wonderful to spend time with the family. Highlight was probably our baby shower! It was more of a BBQ with lots of belly touching, baby presents, and onsesie decorating :)
Miss anything: Sometimes a cold beer sounds really good!

Movement: Everyday, all day! Baby had the hiccups for the first time last week! Kicks and rolls are sometimes really strong and sometimes I can see my belly go lopsided if baby is stretching out. Weird, but so cool!
Food cravings: Not really, still wanting more candy and icecream than pre-pregnancy.
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Have you started to show yet: Oh yeah! I've had a few people ask if I'm due soon... nope, 3 more months to go. I can only image how big the belly is gonna get.
Boy or Girl: Still going to be a surprise. What do you think it will be?? :)
Baby gear: Lots of gifts and hand-me-downs! Everyone was so so generous at our baby shower. I feel so much more prepared already!
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out: Way out! Seriously, it's ALL the way out. I considered buying belly button covers, but settled for a bandaid cover up. haha
Wedding rings on or off: On, not looking forward to the day they have to come off.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Getting the nursery together. ..we moved the baby dresser into the room and it's ready to put clothes into! And we have another ultrasound on Friday. I'm excited to get some more cute pics of the baby and to see if the placenta previa they saw at 20 weeks has gone away.
