 Symptoms: Some lower back pain and maybe some slight swelling of the feet but not noticeable yet 

Best Moment this week: I bought some material for swaddles and got some random things done on my to-do list. Soon I need to get started on her room! Right now it is just filled with random stuff waiting to be organized.    

I can't wait: This afternoon is the sonogram with the boys. I am so excited to see our baby girl. And I am eager to see what the boys think of her.

And tomorrow I have my 2 week checkup with Dr Atkins.

Size of baby: small cabbage (17 inches long, 2.9lbs)

Movement: Still movin and groovin

Sleep: the usual, switch from hip to hip, pee 2-3 times a night

Symptoms: Braxton hicks and back pain. Not sleeping as well. Maybe some slight swelling but not significant yet…but I know it is coming. 

Best Moment this week: I am not sure. Probably just everyone getting excited for Chloe’s arrival.   

I can't wait: for the sonogram in 7 sleeps!

Sept 25^th - 3D/4D sonogram with the boys

Sept 26^th- first two week appt checkup!!

My dr appts on the 14^th was fun but uneventful. I had a list of questions for her (traveling, baby’s position, a free breastpump) and I felt like she was rushing me right along. It is annoying but I know that is just how she is.

28 weeks along

Sept 11^th

How Far Along: 28 Weeks (70% done!) Officially in the 3^rd trimester

Size of baby: cauliflower (16 inches long, 2.5lbs)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 15.5lbs

Maternity Clothes: dresses, maternity jeans, and a few other pieces. Well only one thing in the order worked out from Old Navy (black skinny dress pants for work) but the black jeans were too tight which is frustrating because they are the same size and style as the jeans I kept from a previous order.

Gender: Baby Girl – Chloe Marie Cline

Movement: She is a mover and a shaker. And Kyle is so sweet because he checks on her often to see if she is moving and each night rests his hand on my stomach as he falls asleep to feel her move.  This girl is going to rock our world but I can’t wait to see her bond with each of us.

Sleep: the usual, switch from hip to hip, pee 2-3 times a night

What I miss: Sleeping well

Cravings: I got Mexican food and a pina colada on Friday at moms night out!  Still craving Cracker Barrel, Texas Roadhouse, home cooking.

Symptoms: lots of Braxton Hicks and back pain. And I think the swelling is coming. This morning I noticed my ring was kind of hard to get on. It was also difficult bending over to get my booties on. So winter shoes might be tough for me.

Best Moment this week: I did some more cleaning out of the nursery and went through some of the stuff give to us. I am anxious to get the room cleaned out, cleaned thoroughly and start setting up the crib. I also got a wood wall hanging for above the crib that says ‘Chloe Marie’ Now I just have to decide what color to paint it.  

I can't wait: for my checkup this Friday and the sonogram in 2 weeks with the boys. I can’t wait to see her and see if she has any hair. I would kind of love for her to have a head full of black hair like her granddaddy and I both had when we were born.

Sept 14^th- glucose test and checkup

Sept 25^th - 3D/4D sonogram with the boys

Sept 26^th- first two week appt checkup!!

Size of baby: cucumber (15 inches long, 2.2lbs)

Maternity Clothes: dresses, maternity jeans, and a few other pieces. I have an old navy order on its way to me so hopefully I will have a few more things to rotate between.

Gender: Baby Girl – Chloe Marie Cline

Movement: Lots of movement and I love it. This weekend my mom, David, and Jen all got to feel her.  

Sleep: the usual, switch from hip to hip, pee 2-3 times a night, and snoring which is keeping Kyle up so we are trying to figure that out. And last night I was looking at the clock every single hour just unable to stay asleep.

What I miss: I don’t know

Cravings: The usual Mexican food (chipotle, Rosa’s, chips and queso), pina coladas. Also wanting Cracker Barrel, Texas Roadhouse, home cooking.

Symptoms: lots of Braxton Hicks, back pain that is likely kidney stone related, my skin has finally cleared up so that is nice not to be dealing with the giant pimples anymore. No feet swelling yet! Yay!!

Best Moment this week: It was a good week but I cant think of anything specific.

I can't wait: for our sonogram with the boys! It feels like forever since I have been to the doctor. I am excited to start having appts every 2 weeks.
