Total weight gain/loss: 70 kilograms on the scale (not mine, I might add!) today. Now that's a number I feel comfortable posting. ;)
Maternity clothes: Yes.
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: Better last week. This has to do with my cold though.
Best moment in the last week: So cute I wish I would have had my camera on hand. So...our cats are not allowed to sleep in the bedroom. However, on occasion, they are allowed in in the morning for a few minutes to cuddle. Guenni got up for work and one of our cats, Pitter, must've snuck in. About 30 seconds later, she was up on the bed, looking for a way to get under the covers - she just loves the warmth. I let her in and she quickly proceeded to get cozy right next to me, head resting on my belly as if it were a pillow! I just had a visual of baby kicking and Pitter not having a clue what was going on! Haha! However, baby seemed to be extremely content with the purring furball as well. :)
Movement: Poor baby is getting lots of movement from ME this week as I sneeze, cough, and blow my nose a lot. I've also decided our baby is more of a squirmer/wiggler than kicker. I will sometimes see my belly wiggle, but don't feel it too much. I do get random kicks (and they've been moving higher lately), so I'm not worried at all, but in general, baby seems to be a little lazy. :)
Gender: Yay! One more vote!!! 8 to 6 for boy.
Food Cravings: None. Weird!!! Maybe that explains the weight... It probably has to do with my cold though. My appetite has gone down a bit this past week.
Belly Button in or out: Still in, but it looks different again! It's more back to normal and not so stretched out, if that makes sense.
What I miss: Breathing freely
What I am looking forward to: Being able to stay home every day in a few weeks. :)
Weekly Wisdom: I knew there were great changes going on in my body, but this week I was able to feel one of them. It was an interesting but not extremely pleasant experience. Due to all of my coughing this past weekend, I was able to feel exactly how stretched out my ab muscles are now. My entire stomach hurt every time I coughed.
Milestones: The wallpaper in baby's room is finished except for the border on 3 walls!
Baby Brain Moment of the Week: If you've ever been to the ALDI, you know the shopping carts where you have to put in money. Here in Germany, it's like that at every supermarket. I have a special chip that I keep in my wallet so I don't have to worry about having the correct change. Anyway, I returned the cart, but forgot to take the chip out. Luckily, I did remember about 30 seconds later and was able to retrieve it.
Belly-button ring Status: Out
Labor Signs: Braxton-Hicks here and there
Weekly Belly Pic: Last week was just insane!!! Haha. Either belly has gone down a bit, or it makes a huge difference what you wear. Could be both, I guess...
