Miss Anything? Nope

Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells here and there.

Gender: BOY!!
Labor Signs: I think the Braxton Hicks are starting.  I keep noticing the tightening of just my belly. They really didn't hurt when I had them with Liam but these are slightly painful!
Symptoms: Fatigue, the dreaded heartburn and what I'm pretty sure is horrific round ligament pain.  It literally felt like my muscles on the bottom part of my belly were ripping to shreds.
Belly Button in or out? Still half and half but the top is really pushing for out!

Weekly Wisdom:  Drink your water! I've been struggling to keep up but I need to really make it a bigger priority while I'm at work again.

Week of Viability! We hit another milestone in pregnancy this week.  If Carter was to be born this week he now has a 50% chance of survival and that rate climbs rapidly in the next few weeks.  He better stay in for at least another 13 weeks though! I'm not ready!!

I went so long not gaining any weight and now I feel like I'm packing it on!

Best moment this week? Liam laid on his brother yesterday and got a kick in the cheek. Every time he lays on my belly and starts babbling, Carter starts going crazy! It was so cute seeing Liam's face light up and he got the biggest smile when it happened. He looked at me like "What was that?" 
Miss Anything? Nope
Movement: Kicking, punching and squirming all around.
Food cravings: Buffalo sauce! Yumm... Buffalo chicken sandwich, Buffalo chicken pita, Buffalo wings, or anything with buffalo sauce!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells here and there.

Symptoms: Fatigue
Belly Button in or out? Still half and half. Shawn thinks it looks gross but I'm super intrigued.

Weekly Wisdom: Change the chalkboard whenever you have a chance, even if it's a few days early.  That's always what holds me up from updating this blog!
Looking forward to: Thanksgiving is in two days! Ham, rolls, stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes... I can feel the pounds packing on already.

Sleep:Still sleeping pretty well.  I hope I'm not jinxing myself by talking about it.
Best moment this week? We went to the new outlets in Livermore on Sunday and finally got Carter some outfits. Before Liam was born, I kept hearing that you don't need newborn sizes because they barely use them or are too big when born.  I didn't have many newborn clothes because of this and Liam was only 6lbs when he was born.  I decided to get a couple newborn size outfits for Carter, just in case.  I also got Liam and Carter matching pajamas! I'm so that Mom!

Miss Anything? Nope
Movement: Kicking and rolling around all the time.
Food cravings: Why is it that Jack in the Box always sounds delicious! It's so bad but I could go for a Spicy Chicken sandwich, seasoned fries, jalapeno poppers and lots of ranch anytime.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not too much anymore. 
Have you started to show yet:  Carter is making himself known to the world.  I was really excited to be approached by 4 different people at work, at completely different times since Monday and told that I've definitely popped.  I love that I'm look more obviously pregnant and not like I just gained a few too many pounds.
Gender: BOY!!
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Fatigue
Belly Button in or out? Half and Half.  The top is flattening but the bottom is still in.  I'm just waiting for the change.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Weekly Wisdom: Embrace the belly! Enjoy it while it's here cause I'm going to miss it when it's gone.
Looking forward to: Getting Carter's room ready.  We need to plan a trip out to Ikea soon to buy his crib and dresser.
