gender + size?: baby boy COLE puncochar is the size of a wintermelon. feels more like a basketball, but hey who am i to judge? according to this site, he’s the size of a volleyball. #sports
why am i sharing the name? because joey and i have had this boy’s name picked out for YEARS [before we had any kids], so i kind of don’t care what people say about it. we love it. also, i realized that my kids will be Lo[gan] and Co[le] … my little locos 🙂
cravings/aversions?: i legit can’t fit very much in my stomach, which makes eating hard. it’s the balance of “omg i want that blizzard, but i should really have some blueberries because #antioxidants.” basically sophie’s choice.
maternity clothes?: no pants party over here … looking forward to the day i have a waist again! i’m all about the dresses + sweaters since it’s still pretty cool in minnesota. i did squeeze myself into some of my maternity jeans the other day, and while that was a trip, it won’t be happening much longer. still wearing my fave lululemon leggings + joggers [just snagged the camo pair!!!]
workouts?: still walking, but veeery slowly. i also now need to stop once or twice to pee during my thirty minute workout … shocking.
weight gain?: 31-32 lbs-ish, but it jumps around for sure. not sure if that’s water weight, or me just being able fit more in my stomach. again, the reason i share this is because i want to show that everyone and every pregnancy is different. i gain a TON of weight in the first half of my pregnancy and then taper off. i literally pee on a stick and gain ten pounds, while others don’t gain anything until the second trimester. it’s all different, and healthy pregnancy can look a lot differently for each one of us.
rings on or off?: on, but fingers are swelling intermittently. hopefully i can make it another week and a half!
emotions?: calm [i think; i always think joey should be the one to answer this question]. i’m trying to enjoy the last week at work [love my job and genuinely going to miss my work peeps while i’m out], at home with only one kiddo, and my sleep.
any other weird symptoms?: tbh, i was expecting to be dragging this past weekend since the weekend before i was not feeling great [intermittent contractions, ankle swelling, just overall discomfort]. i actually felt like the energizer bunny and was go-go-go all weekend! good ‘ol nesting kicking in 🙂
