Baby White

40 weeks and 3 days

Well here I am looking like I could give birth to twins I'm so large. I measured myself and I'm 46inches around my belly button !! A guy at work says we can start sharing clothes now, haha.

Total Weight Gain: 40lbs as of last tuesday. I know I've gone wayyy over what I should be, but at this point I really don't care.

MaternityClothes: I'm still in the hubbys tshirts because I think I'm down to 3 maternity shirts of mine I can wear and I have to keep pulling them down so as to not be constantly showing my stomach.

Stretch Marks: I got one small one on my side, but other than that I'm still in the clear on my stomach. If she makes me wait much longer I can see one popping up.

Sleep: Ughhh TERRIBLE !!! I can't breathe through my nose, so I have to breathe through my mouth which I hate. Then because I'm so big after a couple of hours of sleeping on my side my hips and knees hurt so bad. The past few nights I've been getting up in the middle of the night and coming out to the couch and propping myself up so I can kind of be sleeping on my back.

Best Moment this week: My parents showing up on thursday. My dad has been doing indoor projects and my mom has decided to do some landscaping. Fine by both of us because I don't have much of a green thumb.

Miss Anything: Breathing normally, sleeping through the night, being able to bend down

Movements: Oh yes, but more small bulges here and there...she's running out of room in there !

Food Cravings: Sweets, so I've been trying to eat fruit to fill that craving.

Labor Signs: A little cramping here and there and I've been getting quite a few braxton hicks.

Belly Button: In !! It's getting flat but definitely not coming out. My husband wants it to come out sooo bad and I think just because I don't want it to, haha

Wedding ring: Off and I miss my wedding ring so much. I can't wait for the swelling to go down so that I can put it back on

Happy or Moody: Most of the time happy, but on occasion I get moody

Looking forward to: Going into labor and meeting our sweet little girl !

Christi Family is a blog and local family resource for Corpus Christi and surrounding areas of the coastal bend.Created by a family of five, we blog about everything that matters to us. We invite you to read about our journey as we catalogue our thoughts about Family Matters, Fun Matters, Home Matters, Faith Matters, School Matters, and other things that Just Matter (at least to us). We’re exploring Corpus Christi and are providing you with what we find. Whether you’re looking for local resources, wanting to find local events geared just for families, or are wanting a quick reference guide on everything local, this might just be the place for you and yours. We’re filling our pages with resources for mom’s, kids, visitors, newbies, and families in general. As we continue our adventures in life, we’ll also continue our exploration of what we can do with this site and hopefully you'll benefit! Our focus is family, it’s that simple. You won’t find business meetings listed on our calendars, instead you’ll see calendars for families, toddlers, or just parents. It’s your choice! Join the fun! Let us know what you’d like to see or what you think we should explore! We’ll share our thoughts!
