Baby's size:
Baby is the size of a cantaloupe! Holy cow!! Weighing in at 1-1/2 lbs., Lucas is growing at rapid speed! And this is obvious by my large and in charge belly : )
Total weight gain:
17 lbs. That's all I have to say about that right now. Haha!
Maternity Clothes:
I have found little bits and pieces of maternity clothes at Target and Old Navy. I may have to talk Dr. Carlson into letting me wear yoga pants and tennis shoes to work, though!
Food cravings:
Well, amazingly enough, this week I have actually craved something healthy: Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds cereal! I wanted to try a new cereal (I still love you though Cinnamon Toast Crunch!) and this cereal is amazing! It fills me up and lasts me until lunchtime and has just the right amount of sweetness!
Movement:
I'm continuing to feel Lucas move around and I know he's getting bigger because his movements are more definite and pronounced! My insides are taking a beating! But no complaints here!
Best moment of the week:
The best moment of the week has to be getting the nursery painted! Mallie, who has painted the rest of our home, came over this past Saturday and painted a gorgeous nursery for Lucas to come home to! There will be pictures of that to come, but Dee wants me to wait to post pictures so that you guys can see the "finished product" Haha!
What I'm looking forward to:
I am looking forward to the labor. JUST KIDDING!!!! As I get further in the pregnancy I have been thinking about the labor more and I am a little nervous, so I have chosen to occupy my mind with more positive thoughts: I am looking forward to the end result which is a healthy, happy, lovable little punkin for the whole family the love on!

What I miss:
I miss my back not aching! Despite yoga, stretching, better posture, and heating pads, my lower back continues to ache. It's not unbearable, just troublesome at times.

Symptoms:
I have started having Braxton Hicks contractions which is...well, interesting to say the least! What I thought was the baby moving is now definitely contractions. These are painless and harmless and will continue on until labor. I have increased my water intake and have had to start lying on my left side while sleeping to keep them from occurring. I have had them anywhere from 10-15 times a day to just 3-5 times a day. I told the midwives that I would prefer to call them "tightenings" instead of "contractions" because that word is a little overwhelming at this point! Haha!
Picture time! Enjoy!
