Total weight gain: 1 stone
Maternity clothes: I've not bought any new ones - still living in the usual maaternity trousers/leggings with stretchy vest tops and waterfall cardigans.. Although we go away in a few weeks so I could probably do with a few extra bits as I can't just wash the same pair of trousers over and over in a caravan...
Sleep: What is this word? I reckon I get about 3-4 hours a night in between the constant trips to the loo, for milk, to grab random cushions off the sofa downstairs...
Movement: Squishy is possibly the next karate kid! The little monster kicked my midwife the other day! Although according to our growth scan this tiny tike is already 3.5lbs! They reckon baby could be 9lbs full term if growth carries on at this rate! So no wonder the kicks are so strong now.
Food cravings: Twister lollies for the past 2 weeks or so. I buy those mini ones as they are 2 boxes for £3 at Asda and can go through at least 2 a night.
Gender: Not a clue still. Everyone tells me I'm having a boy though.
Labour signs: Nothing still. Still getting those weird muscle contractions on my bump but nothing to worry about.
Symptoms: Sciatica and Acid reflux. I'm taking Ranitide for the acid reflux and co-codamol for the pains, but I'm trying to limit the amount of painkillers I take as I really don't like the idea of relying on tablets while pregnant.
What I'm looking forward to: So I'm now on maternity leave! I'm planning little craft projects (I'm terrible at crafts though so we'll see...) and looking forward to getting the nursery sorted (It's being plastered right now ready to be painted very soon). I can't wait until I can start adding all the finishing touches to the nursery.
I have been reading about Squishy's progress each week here so go and have a look.
