I didn’t plan on this but I think I’m going to try and make this baby have a weekly feature just like BB since she is just as important! So read or don’t, as always this really is for me more than anything!

Baby’s size:

Celery

I am feeling:

Worn out, we are traveling this week and the extra walking and activity, plus sleeping in a different bed than I’m used to has been a little tough, but, it’s been so nice to be around family!

Food love:

Nothing really, like I said earlier no real appetite with this one but I definitely have been aching for some veggies!

Food hates:

Hate is a strong word but I haven’t really been into fruits lately.

3 pros of the last few weeks:

• Visiting AZ and getting to eat delicious food!
• Nothing crazy happening, like labor, while flying to AZ!
• Healthy and happy baby and momma!

3 cons of the past few weeks:

• Tons of Braxton hicks contractions!
• Still not eating the best, which I need to change!
• I’m not sure if it’s the altitude, food, or what but I have been more swollen, and uncomfortable since we got to AZ,

Belly button in or out?

I am secretly hopeful it’s going to pop but hasn’t yet!

Labor signs?

Thankfully nothing serious, but without thinking, I definitely was having some serious Braxton hicks as we walked around the zoo since ironically I just happened to start the day having a lot and then we walked around for 3 ish hours. Didn’t think that one through! Walking is one of those things that starts labor, so by the time we were done I was squeezing D’s hand because tiny tot was saying okay mom if you insist I’ll make things hurt! She’s funny!

What do I miss?

I miss being comfortable, with all the movement and this baby getting bigger things are getting more and more uncomfortable. I don’t remember being so uncomfortable with BB but I am sure the extra activity and swelling from the trip isn’t helping!

What am I looking forward to?

Having this baby! Also, honestly, being back in my own bed. I love visiting but I’ve decided our bed is super comfortable and I miss it! Plus less swelling and heartburn!

Symptoms:

Still the normal ones, I have had less of and appetite but get heartburn when I am hungry so I have been noticing heartburn more since I haven’t been eating as much. I also had my first super embarrassing pregnancy see something and cry moment. D and I got a bit of a date and we were walking around downtown Flagstaff and I saw a little sign and just started to cry. We ended up buying it and it’s in BB’s room and hasn’t made me cry since but I couldn’t hold myself together at the time!

Difference between this kiddo and BB:

The biggest things I’ve noticed is the extra movement, this kiddo is way busier than I recall BB being. Braxton hicks contractions, I didn’t know what those were with BB but don’t remember them at all. As I was reminded about the swelling, I haven’t had any of that until this week in AZ. And the fact that I have no desire at all to eat.
