This week is much like the last three. Besides slowly getting better, not much has happened. My mom and dad came for the Labor Day weekend and helped me out with some projects around the house and baby room. I can proudly say the hubby and I have just one more project we are working on that should be done this week for the baby room and then it will be ready just waiting for Teagan to arrive! (Take that "nesting"!)
Oh! A fun thing happened! I tried on my pants the other day (non maternity) and with the belly bands from a post WAY back I can still wear them! So my legs haven't gotten any bigger, only my belly! I could even still button the pants... but it hurt so I stuck with the belly bands.
Developmentally:
From here on out I should be gaining about a pound a week and from that pound Teagan will be gaining about a half pound a week until she is born. She currently weighs about 16 inches long and 3 and a half pounds. She moves around a TON and my stomach is constantly looking like waterbed (ha).
My belly has gotten to what I like to refer to the "cute baby belly." I really do like how it looks, and if it wasn't covered in my Italian peach fuzz I would totally post a pic of my belly... maybe if I find a way to photoshop out the fuzz...

Not much has changed on this side either from the last couple weeks. I still have horrible heartburn that Zantac helps tremendously with (I swear if she doesn't have hair when she comes out I'm going to give her crap about it for her entire life). I also still get back pain in the middle of my back, but I bought this belly, back brace thing that seems to help me... down side is Teagan HATES it.. every time I put it on, she immediately starts stabbing my ribs.
It has gotten harder to sleep recently because of how much she moves around, she wakes me up! I'm pretty sure this baby is going to do gymnastics like her daddy when she comes out :) In the meantime if I'm not waking up from her moving around, I'm waking up from having to pee... Yep this is my life and I've recently learned "DO NOT TRUST A SNEEZE!" I recommend when you go into your third trimester of pregnancy to carry around extra liners and even an extra pair of underwear! You all can laugh but those of you who have had babies have all been there!!
This week ended with my hubby getting to have 6 days off (that goes into next week) because his work schedule got switched around for some training he had and this weekend is our natural birthing class that I made him take time off work for. So with his time off he'll get to relax and get some little projects done around the house :) I also have another doctors appointment this coming week for my 32 week checkup so next week I'll have an update for you all.
Speaking of this coming week, TOMORROW I'll be starting a week long series on how our parenting styles are going to be different then a lot of the mainstream parenting these days. (We're kind of going back to the basics of the old days) So keep an eye out for those on here because I won't be posting them to Facebook.
Question time:
So my ring is staring to get kind of tight (wedding ring) and it made me think of when all of you had to take your rings off? or were you able to keep them on through the whole pregnancy?
Well that's it for this week (Until tomorrow)
So until next time! (tomorrow)
Bre and Teagan (the bump)
