Baby W this week…
Size of the baby?
Baby is the size of a papaya.
Total Weight Gain/Loss?
+10lbs at my 20 week appointment
Maternity Clothes?
I really need to go shopping for more...but I don't want to! I'm trying to take everything that I currently have and making it maternity fitting...some how. So far...I'm good. I feel like once 3rd trimester starts...I won't be able to even fit my pants over my ass!
Stretch Marks?
22 weeks down with none....18 to go
Best Moments?
My best moments right now consist of checking things of our list of things. I am working crazy hours so if I can get anything done for baby...it's a big deal. We have registered for baby, nursery ideas are coming together and we have a daycare all lined up for when I go back to work after my maternity leave. I feel so relaxed with this baby stuff...which is very good with my hectic work schedule.
Movement?
Our baby boy is moving around like crazy in there. The other morning he was up kicking and/or punching around 5ish...I just laid there and felt it and soaked it all in. Tate was upset I didn't wake him up to try to feel it. I honestly didn't think he would want to be woken up that early...but he said he did so now I will wake him. haha.
Food Cravings?
Still salty foods, milk and mac & cheese!!!
Anything making you queasy or sick?
Nothing really...just don't ever feel like eating any ground turkey meals I make...
What I miss?
I just really miss my clothes fitting. I don't spend much money on myself so it's hard for me to go out and buy maternity clothes...especially when I will only wear them for a small amount of time. I plan to buy as much 'non-maternity' items I can that will work. I have a feeling though as I get bigger, maternity will be necessary.

What I am looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to picking out fabric for my Grandma to make Baby W a quilt and for my mom to make pillows for the nursery. I ordered some swatches online and fell in love with some so I am excited to pick out exactly what we need.
Do you want to borrow some of my maternity stuff?! I don't have much for dress pants (maybe a pair or two), but jeans and blouses. I found the shirts to be the most difficult - pretty soon all your normal ones will be too short!
ReplyDeleteYour bump is adorable btw!
ReplyDeleteYou're popping, girl. You look great!!
ReplyDeleteYou are glowing in this pic, Bridget. You look fantastic and sounds like you're feeling pretty good, too. YAY!! All that punching and kicking is so much fun until he finds your ribs - then....not so much! Lillian bruised mine so bad!!
ReplyDeleteLook how cute you are!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! Just a note on the making clothes fit...you may stretch out some of your regular clothes. I tried to make some of my clothes fit and they got stretched and don't fit as well anymore, just a thought! But I totally hear ya on not spending a fortune on clothing!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see everything come together!
You have the most adorable baby bump ever! You're glowing!
ReplyDeleteYou're so stinking cute! :)
ReplyDeleteI made it through my whole pregnancy with only 3-4 maternity items and I gained 34 pounds...you can totally do it without spending a ton of money!
ReplyDeletei gained 35lbs with avrie and i had fun getting creative with non-maternity items. there is so much out there these days that works without having to spend a ton of money of maternity! if you DO have to i found that target's maternity line was the MOST comfortable and pretty darn cute for its afforadbility. shhhhh i still wear some of the shirst around the house! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look great! As far as clothes, I got a lot of used maternity clothes from Bellies to Babies, it's a used maternity/kids clothing store in Richfield. They have great deals and it's nice to know you aren't spending a fortune for clothes you are only going to wear a very short time. Here's their website: http://www.belliestobabies.net/
