Baby's First Halloween (sort of)


How far along? 37 weeks
Total weight gain: 30-35 lbs
Maternity clothes? yes, and my pants keep falling down--does that mean they are too big or too small?
Sleep: From about the 6th / 7th inning of the Phillies World Series games on
Best moment this week: My baby shower at work---totally shocked and surprised. And Jake came too, which made my day!!
Movement: Waves rather than kicks
Gender: The poll says boy....but we'll see
Labor Signs: Minor cramps but nothing convincing
Belly Button in or out? Still flat
What I miss: Sam Adams Octoberfest beer
What I am looking forward to: Trick or treating with baby Rossiter next year
Weekly Wisdom: "every baby is different" is the lamest advice ever, but sadly true
Milestones: Making it to full term

This is what 9 Months pregnant looks like


How far along? 36 weeks
Total weight gain: 30-35 lbs
Maternity clothes? mostly, I still wear many non-maternity shirts (which makes Kake laugh when my belly is peeking out)and the occasional drawstring lounge pant
Sleep: Early and often
Best moment this week: Sleeping through the night without a pee break
Movement: As if an alien is residing in my torso
Gender: Hoping for only ONE
Labor Signs: Nada, but I wasnt expecting any either
Belly Button in or out? Flat
What I miss: shaving my legs without risking falling out of the shower or getting a side stitch
What I am looking forward to: The baby's birthday
Weekly Wisdom: Everyone loves to guess the sex of an "unknown" baby. However, no one seems to agree.
Milestones: Getting tired after doing the dishes. Seriously, I surprise myself.
