Maternity clothes? Beginning to run out of ones that fit…
Sleep: I’m a pretty serious sleeper, and these days I can’t get enough. There are the many trips to the loo in the middle of the night, but I’ve been making up for those with naps during the day.
Best moment this week: Wednesday morning MissBug told my mom that Baby Awesome was in her belly. I think she thinks all bellies are now called “Awesome.”
She also told her that she was going to be a big sister, and hold and kiss the baby. She also said she was going to “hide” the baby… I’m hoping she was talking about playing hide and go seek.
Movement: She’s beginning to run out of room in there. She’s squirming away, but it’s getting more painful, and she’s all on my right side – kicking my ribs and things I didn’t know could hurt in there. She also gets the hiccups a lot.
Labor Signs: I have Braxton hicks whenever I have to pee – which is pretty often – but nothing regular or serious.
Belly Button in or out? In, sorta… now it’s mostly just flat.
What I miss: bladder control
What I am looking forward to: Meeting our new little girl!
Weekly Wisdom: I don’t believe for one second that cocoa butter, or any other kind of lotion will keep you from getting stretch marks. If you’re going to get them, you will – and if you’re one of those lucky people
I got so many stretch marks with Bug that I can’t tell the new from the old with this one. And I RELIGOUSLY applied the cocoa butter with the first pregnancy, and pretty much gave it up with this one.
All dreams of being a Victoria’s Secret model are out the window – I’m OK with that. I’m going to have a couple beautiful little girls who make it worth it.
Milestones: Just FORTY days to go! Just had my last of the quick two week check-ups. Starting in two weeks (36 weeks), we’ll get to start weekly visits and exams to see how we’re progressing down there. At 36 weeks with MissBug I was 3 cm dilated… so cross your fingers!

I just had to google "Braxton Hicks" :) Love you!

btw... I find it interesting that Braxton Hicks was discovered by a MAN named John Braxton Hicks who "first described them." Interesting Mr. Hicks... and what did THEY feel like?!? Yes, women can and SHOULD get all the credit! haha :)
