32 weeks down...only 8 to go!
Pregnancy Highlights...we are in single digits with how many weeks left! I am getting so excited to meet my little guy!
McCoy is about 4 pounds and 12 ounces. I had a checkup on Tuesday and got to have an ultrasound and it was so, so sweet! She took about 15 minutes and went over all his little parts and showed me his heart beating, his "chubby" cheeks (as she called them), his boy parts ("his daddy would be proud" were her words! haha!), his arm was hiding his face, and he is doing everything he should be doing at this point. Moving, practicing breathing, and growing. According to BabyCenter.com, he now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.
Symptoms: So remember how last update I said I wasn't quite to the uncomfortable stage yet....well, I'm there. Standing isn't comfortable, sitting isn't much better and if I lay down I'm afraid I might fall asleep and never want to wake up! I have some heartburn, which I had with the girls but Tums will usually knock that out pretty quickly. Other than the tiredness, I am doing great and my doctor said everything looks good :)
Baby-Related Purchases: I finally started work on his nursery, so I bought the fabric for his bumper cover and valances from hobby lobby and I took the glider to get recovered. (I will post nursery pics as soon as we are finished!) I also bought some sweet boy clothes from a friend of mine at church who was selling all of her son's clothes.
Maternity Clothes: I really think I can take this category out...pretty much everything is maternity these days. I can still wear a few pairs of jeans as long as they are unbuttoned and unzipped. Haha. Dresses are still my go-to outfit choice.
Sleep: Cannot.Get.Enough!!!! I am a terrible nap taker, but the past several days I have caught myself dozing off on the couch when the girls are sleeping...which is very rare for me. But I just cannot seem to keep my eyes open.... Once bedtime rolls around, I am pretty much in bed within minutes off putting the girls to bed and fast asleep about 2 minutes later.
Fun moment this past week: The ultrasound was definitely a highlight! Being able to hear that sweet heartbeat and see him moving is just so precious! It makes me so, so ready to see him and hold him!
Food Cravings: Still nothing in particular....sorry, I'm not very exciting with this one. I mainly just eat whatever is quick and easy and drink lots of cold, cold water!
Gender: The ultrasound confirmed, definitely a boy!!
What I miss: I am definitely ready to get back into my old clothes. I miss being able to wear whatever is in my closet...we are going to a wedding this weekend, and I have lots of fun dresses...but none of them fit. Blah. Not to mention, the selection of maternity clothes these days is terrible. They all look the same, are way overpriced and well...just no fun. Ok, I will stop whining now.....but, hey, you asked. :)
Weight Gained: 29lbs...don't think I am going to miss that 3olb mark with this one like I did with the other two.
What I am looking forward to: Finishing his room!!!
Moments to Remember: This has nothing to do with McCoy, but my dad was watching the girls for me yesterday morning and he said Allie was doing something silly....as usual :) And Marissa looked at him and said, "She just makes me laugh all day long!" This was so funny and sweet to me! Marissa and Allie are really two peas in a pod these days....they play together so well and (most of time) are so sweet with each other. They played up in their room together for about an hour while I was cleaning house yesterday...it's so nice to see them getting so close and having so much fun with each other! I pray it will forever be that way!
That's all for now! I will have another check up in about 2 weeks, so I will keep you posted! :)
