How big is Audrey? We don't have another growth scan until next week so I'm not sure how big she is but she's definitely getting bigger and stronger.
Audrey's Health? I think she might have flipped halfway. I feel like she's transverse now with her head on my left and but on my right. Only because there is something hard on my left side that I think HAS to be her head. I guess we'll find out next Tuesday!
Health of Momma? Lately my heartburn's been getting worse. More frequent and more painful. I'm going to ask my Doctor next week if he can put me on something more than Tums. Other than that, as long as I make my self rest often enough, I'm doing OK.
Weight gain? 14lbs.
Weird Cravings? I haven't been able to eat what I want for almost a month now. With my stomach being squished I have all I can do to eat enough protein let alone have room for something as silly as cravings...I'll tell you what though, I'm getting sick of greek yogurt and string cheese!
Sleep? This is getting more difficult. I've been spending more time on my sides so when I wake up in the morning my arms and shoulders are usually sore. Fun.
Best moment of this week? We got our Maternity pictures taken! It was a lot of fun! I'm so excited to see how they came out! Afterwards the three of us went out for ice cream. It was nice to spend some time together as a little family.
What I miss? Cute shoes. I don't have a pair of shoes I can still get into other than flip flops. Last weekend when we went to that wedding I went to put on some cute black pumps only to discover that my feet were replaced by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's. I did manage to squeeze a pair of boots on for our maternity pictures but I definitely couldn't wear them for a whole day. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when it gets colder. I certainly don't want to have to buy maternity SHOES!!

What I am looking forward to? A free and open Saturday. We have no plans on Saturday other than watching the football game. I'm so excited I can barely stand it!
Milestones? We went to our first birth class. It was OK. I got bored during the "relaxation" lesson. My brain just can't stop and think about nothing besides waterfalls and breathing for ten minutes. I pretty sure J fell asleep. I guess at least one of us is able to relax...
Fears? Everything about ripping my vagina open and squeezing a baby out. We watched a delivery video in class this week. I was prepared for the baby coming out part but I was not prepared for the after birth part! GROSS! In my head placentas were about the size of a fist. THEY ARE NOT. More like the size of a pumpkin. Not a ripe healthy pumpkin though, a rotted squishy deflated pumpkin. I'm not afraid to actually deliver the placenta but I was caught off guard by it's size and grossness. SICK.
