Symptoms: Its been a pretty good week, still have aches and pains but other than always hungry and swollen feet I have not much to complain about.

Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothes and am even growing out of some of them now.

Movement: Lots, this baby is quite active almost all the time. I have not really noticed to much of a pattern except almost everyday between 4-6. I love feeling baby move and watch my belly more than I watch TV these days.

Purchase This Week: I got the diaper bag (Ju Ju Be, Be Spicy in purple paisley) that I really wanted but was having a hard time finding in the pattern I wanted for a price I liked that would ship to Canada. I got it for my birthday, how much life has changed that I'm excited to get a diaper bag for my birthday.

 As well got our swing/bouncy chair combo (thanks Gramma, we love it!!) as well as a highchair all on sale (Yay!!!)

Favourite Moment this Week: Spending my birthday with the ones I love including baby. Also starting to nest and get babies things more organized and put in their places.

Belly: Getting big, 38.25 inches

What I Love: Having a belly! I feel cute and love having the having the little belly.

Cravings: DQ strawberry sundaes, Twix and Reese bars, perogies, peas, pototaes and sour cream. I am starting to get heartburn so I'm not able to indulge as much as I would like.

Symptoms: My pelvis and hips are really sore almost all the time. It feels like a constant pinching that just radiates. I'm starting to feel really hormonal as well, and seem to get stressed easily.

Sleep: If i'm not sore I still sleep really well! I'm having a hard time getting comfortable enough to get to sleep and usually end up tossing and turning from side to side trying to get comfy and relieve the pain.

Maternity Clothes: Everything is maternity now and I've even grown out of some of my maternity shirts already.

Movement: Lots and lots. This baby wakes up 4am and thrashes around for a good 25min almost every night. I don't like being kept awake but it really does not bother to much yet. I really love feeling baby and was saying last night that I'm going to miss it when its gone.

Purchase This Week: We went shopping after our last prenatal class last saturday together and it was very sweet. We got a couple books and our first pack of newborn size diapers, so very little and adorable! It was very exciting to be shopping after learning all about baby adn I think it really set in for both of us that we are having our own baby.

I also went shopping with the Mother in law as well this past weekend. We got a swing/bouncy combo from grandma and I purchased a highchair. Both were on a good sale of course.

Favourite Moment this Week: I've had a couple this week. First would be the shopping trip after prenatal classes, it was a lot of fun and both of us were experiencing various emotions. Second would be I had a really bad monday and came home really grumpy. I was sitting on the couch feelng sorry for myself and baby started doing gymnastic's, it totally made me feel better and put a smile quickly back on my face.

Purchase This Week: Not anything exciting, a bottle steralizer and a few little toys.

Favourite Moment this Week: Prenatal Classes last saturday and this saturday. I really enojyed them and learned way more than I though I would. It was fun to hang out with all the other preggos and compare different things. As well we finally narrowed down the boys names to a few contenders. We have the girls name picked out but boys are a lot more difficult for some reason.

Purchase This Week: A couple of first toys, a ball that rattles and some little wrist rattles.

Favourite Moment this Week: Not quite a favorite moment, more of a funny moment this week. Definitely won't forget this past week. I had to pee pretty bad but was preoccupied doing other stuff and couldn't be bothered to go to the bathroom. I sneezed and sure enough ended up with some wet pants, I was shocked and wasn't sure if i should laugh or cry. Luckily I was home and getting ready for bed so the embarrassment was to bad. Oh the joys of pregnancy, definitely will go to the bathroom when I need to from now on.
