39 Weeks (Hopefully the last update!!)

Baby K is the size of a watermelon! WHOA!!

Maternity Clothes: Yup! And Philip's t-shirts!

Gender:  It's a GIRL!

Movement:  She still moves a lot, but she's running out of room... 
so it can be quite uncomfortable.

Cravings: Chocolate (specifically peanut M&M's)... and my hubby gave me LOTS for Valentine's Day!

Symptoms: Swollen hands and feet, restless legs, pelvic pressure, acne...

Total Weight Gain: 30 lbs... I actually lost a few pounds and have
stayed about the same weight the past few weeks. 
(Even though I'm eating a ton...)

What I Miss: Being able to get up from the couch without assistance... haha!

Best Moment of the Week: Philip turned 30 this week! Also, I got to see some precious friends, the Kyser's, tonight! They are missionaries in Malawi, Africa, and they are on furlough for a few months. Jill was my mentor while I was in college and I considered them my adopted family in Clinton. ;)

What I'm Looking Forward To: HAVING THIS BABY!!

Baby K is the size of an acorn squash!

 

Maternity Clothes: I'm definitely wearing all maternity clothes now. I have a couple oversized shirts (like pikos) that I can wear, too. I am so thankful for my friends Jennifer and Jessica who passed down a ton of clothes to me! I have only had to buy a couple pairs of pants, so naturally I have a red pair and black pair. GO DAWGS! ;)

Gender:  IT'S A GIRL!!!

Movement:  She is VERY active, especially if I drink something cold or want to sleep. LOL!

Cravings: Smoked sausage again!! Pip took me to this awesome BBQ place called "Slap Yo Mama" and they have a Smoked Sausage Plate on the menu! PRAISE THE LORD! I also want chocolate, but I always wanted it before I was preggo, so it probably doesn't count.

Total Weight Gain: 25 lbs.

What I Miss: Being able to sleep...

Best Moment of the Week:  Bristol's future friend, Baby Nelson, was born on Friday!!

What I'm Looking Forward To:  FINALLY getting our dining table this week! (LONG STORY... but it has been a fiasco!)

I've been taking weekly photos inspired by this blog I found on Pinterest! Here are my last 7 (oops!) since I have been a major slacker! I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't want to share my weight gain, but we'll just call it being busy because of the Christmas season... ;) 

22 Weeks

Baby K is the size of a papaya!

Maternity Clothes: It's official. I can only wear my maternity pants now... except for one pair of khakis that I bought while I was in college. (If there was any doubt before, now I KNOW I gained too much weight in college!) I'm wearing a mix of maternity and regular shirts with a loose fit.

Gender:  IT'S A GIRL!!!

Movement:  I feel her kick a lot certain times of the day, and I think I'm starting to feel her roll over... at least that's what it feels like she's doing.

Symptoms: Still have terrible acne... and others that would not care to mention on the internet... lol.

Total Weight Gain: 14 lbs.

What I Miss: Being able to sleep on my stomach!

Best Moment of the Week: Going to visit Laura and then going back to Homecoming at MC.

20 Weeks! Halfway there!

Baby K is the size of a banana! Woah!

Maternity Clothes: I finally hung up all my hand me down maternity clothes in my closet, since my belly is quickly starting to get bigger. I am loving my maternity tights with tunics right now. I busted out my boots yesterday even though it was still in the 80s. Thank you, South Mississippi. ;)

Gender:  IT'S A GIRL!!!

Movement:  I am feeling her move! It's not constant, but there are certain times of the day when she seems to be active.

Cravings: This week I have been dying for chocolate snacks...

Symptoms: Pains when I make sudden movements or get up too quickly... I also had a bad cough last week, and from what I've read/heard it seems normal to have a cold during pregnancy.

Total Weight Gain: 11 lbs.

What I Miss: Being thin... lol. I just feel huge right now. 

Best Moment of the Week: Girls Night Out!! I went out to eat and to see a couple bands with some of my friends from church. We had a blast!

What I'm Looking Forward To:  Our anatomy ultrasound this afternoon!! Can't wait to see how our little Bristol has grown in the past month!

18 Weeks

 Baby K is the size of a Sweet Potato!

Maternity Clothes: The maternity tights I ordered from Old Navy came in and I'm in love! I am really ready for fall, though! It is still pretty hot here, so I'm wearing gym shorts or gauchos most of the time.

Gender:  IT'S A GIRL!!!

Movement:  I am finally feeling her move a little bit, and it is just the coolest thing! I'm an emotional basket case, so I balled my eyes out one of the first times I really felt her.

Cravings: Smoked sausage (still)... so Philip found a crock pot recipe that includes it that we're having for dinner tonight!

Symptoms: I have gotten sick several times in the past couple of weeks. I think Mozzarella sticks must be like poison to Bristol... I never want to eat them again!!

Total Weight Gain: 11 lbs.

What I Miss: Semi-clear skin... my acne is TERRIBLE and it's driving me insane!!

Best Moment of the Week: Feeling Bristol move for the first time!

What I'm Looking Forward To:  Staying at home!! My last day of work is Monday!! I'm also looking forward to my college roommate's wedding next weekend!
