This post is going up a little earlier then usual because I'm up at my parents house to have my gender reveal party! (Sorry, still not gonna tell you what it is until next week!) This is going to be a short post since I posted last weeks late (Monday) and only a few days have gone by!
Life Update:
This week has been pretty busy preparing for the gender reveal party. I've been trying to get as organized as I possibly can without having all the stuff I need since the party is up in Phoenix and I'm down here. I've got my final guest list and am happy to say that most everyone who was invited are happy to come to the party and discover Baby McCabe's gender before the internet!
It's also been kind of fun because around fathers day I finally came to the conclusion that the "gas bubbles" I've been feeling more and more is not gas. It's pretty cool knowing that these movements is the baby! It kinda helped last week during the sonogram when I saw the baby move it's foot at the exact time I felt a "bubble" so it kind of clicked in my head they were connected! So I've been feeling movement but nothing strong enough yet for the hubby to be able to feel too.
Also a few days ago I'm pretty sure I felt a leg or butt or foot or something on my abdomen. It was like squishy stomach and then hard small mass that wouldn't move then squishy stomach next to it. And today.. mass is gone, back to squishy stomach! I'm really looking forward the the baby's kicks (or punches) getting strong enough so the hubby can feel them too!
Developmentally:
My app says the baby is 10 and half ounces in weight and roughly 10 inches from head to heal. Almost a foot long! wow this baby is growing! The digestive system is also working. The baby is swallowing and its bowels are working. The kicks are also getting stronger each day!
Symptom Check!
Heartburn: If I go even a day without it, I think it will be a miracle!
Growth: My stomach has officially popped! I like to think anyway :) I don't fit in any of my last years summer shorts :( Most of my shirts are now VERY snug around the middle and even though my hubby says I look like I ate a HUGE lunch I like to think I'm starting to look like a pregnant lady? My friends have said they think I'm really starting to show too, so they have to be right, right? but apparently only from the side... from behind or from upfront I guess I still look normal lol What do you guys think?
Swelling: Yesterday was the first day I experienced swollen ankles, specifically my right one, man my foot looked really big! I'm gonna have to make an effort to make sure I prop my feet up at night!
Belly button: Ok I know this one is weird, but I swear my belly button is starting to come out! I had a super inny, I'm talking, you couldn't see the end of the belly button inny and now... you can! I swear my belly button is loosing depth! This only makes me feel like a turkey with one of those pop out thingies that pops out with its done... I guess it would make sense, I'm about halfway done so my belly button seems to be halfway up? I really don't want it to pop out though! I was hoping because of my inny state I wouldn't have to experience that!
Ring: With all the swelling and popping of belly buttons, I've taken note of my wedding ring. In the summer my fingers swell from the heat normally, but I think I may only have a couple more weeks with this ring as my finger is getting a defined waist line! At the moment I can still get my ring on and off pretty smoothly, but I may have to soon invest in a fake set so I don't get those judgy looks from people thinking I'm an unwed mother (it's crazy how much society has changed, yet THIS is still something people get all judgy about!... plus if they would just look at my finger, they would see the tan line AND the finger waist line!!)
Bladder control: Well this may be TMI but it totally happened to me today! I waited too long and had too full of a bladder and sneezed... well you can imagine what happened lol
Alright folks! Next time I post it will be the gender reveal so stay patient and we'll see of all of you who guessed who is right!!
Until next time!
Bre and the Bump!
So happy for you two! Exciting times!
