Total weight gain/loss: 33 pounds
Maternity clothes? Wearing anything that will fit
Stretch marks? All over the place ): Not much I can do.
Sleep: Lots of pregnancy insomnia this week. I'm not in horrible pain, and I'm still pretty comfortable...but for some reason my eyes just pop open at 3am every single night.
Best moment this week: Having two snow days with my hubby

Worse moment this week: My sugar crashed the other night due to my medicine being upped. It was a little traumatic to deal with. I started feeling really funny and felt my eyes almost glaze over and I got really confused. Hubby was concerned and suggested taking my sugar and sure enough it was 60. My doctor says it's ok to have a sugar crash every now and then as long as its not all the time....great! My dinner and lunch numbers can still be a bit wonky, but my fasting and breakfast numbers are steady.
Have you told family and friends: Everyone knows
Miss Anything? Feeling normal. This is my always.
Movement: Lots of movement and hiccups, so cute.

Food cravings: Really been wanting fruit and lemonade.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing at all. Nausea has been good.
Gender: Girl
Symptoms: Back pain, heartburn has been getting worse despite medicine, headaches coming back with a vengeance, swelling, etc
Labor Signs: Two nights ago I had a bloody show, so I called the doctor and they had me come in. I am 50% effaced and when they hooked me up to a NST I was having contractions 4 minutes apart (sometimes closer) for a minute long for over an hour!! This was very exciting to see, and they sent me to L&D to be monitored but sadly the contractions were not strong enough to make any kind of cervical change so I was sent home. It was a long day but full of excitement! Hubby and I got a taste of what the real deal would be like. I am still having contractions that are pretty consistent, but they are not very strong so I assume they are still not progressing me any.
Belly Button in or out? Still in
Wedding rings on or off? All my jewelry are off and put away. It's just too uncomfortable to wear any of them. I'm not supposed to wear jewelry when I go into labor anyways, so it's probably better to store them properly at home.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! I'm getting way more excited then nervous to meet our baby girl
Looking forward to: Baby girl coming!
