    Baby Update – 39 Weeks!

    March 4, 2015 - By 

    So I had hoped that last week’s Baby Update would be my last one. It wasn’t. I’m still here, and I’m still pregnant! How far along: 39 weeks! Soooooo close! Baby size: Lil’ Ziggy is about 7.5 lbs and around 20 inches according to Babycentre. Belly: You can definitely see a difference between last week and this week, I think. Not that I’m any bigger, but I feel like my belly is really obviously pointing downward: Clothes: It’s been yoga pants and tank tops all week long. I put on a sweater for my OB appointment, but I had a tank…

    Baby Update – 38 Weeks!

    February 26, 2015 - By 

    I’m getting to the end of my pregnancy. This could very well be my last Baby Update!  How far along: 38 weeks. I’m counting the days now! Baby size: Lil’ Ziggy is about 6.8 to 7 lbs. He’s pretty much just putting on weight rather than growing longer now. Belly: The belly is pretty much at its limit, I don’t think there’s much room to grow now. Here is (hopefully?) what could be my last belly pic for Lil’ Ziggy: Clothes: I put on jeans and an actual top for our meeting with our Financial Advisor today, but the rest of this week…

    Baby Update – 37 Weeks!

    February 18, 2015 - By 

    How far along: 37 weeks Baby size: Lil Ziggy is about 6.5 lbs and almost 20 inches long. Belly: The phrase that comes to mind is “comically spherical”. Ignore the hair. I work from home now 🙂 Clothes: I like this work-from-home thing, and here’s why: I’m still in my pjs! I’ll put on real clothes for tonight’s Ash Wednesday service, but then it’s right back into the sweats. This is the most comfortable I’ve been my entire pregnancy, clothes-wise. Movement: I feel like Lil’ Ziggy has moved down ever so slightly, so I’m not getting as many jabs to the…

    Baby Update – 36 Weeks!

    February 11, 2015 - By 

    How far along: 36 weeks, which I believe is officially “9 months” now! Baby size: Lil Ziggy is almost 6 lbs and 19 inches long, according to Babycentre. Belly: I don’t even know what to say about it. I mean, I did miss last week’s belly pic, but it still seems SO. MUCH. BIGGER. than my 34-week update! Here it is: And how I really feel (excuse the blurriness): Sleep: It hasn’t been too bad lately, to be honest. I haven’t been waking up as much during the night, usually only once to use the washroom. The worst part of…

    Baby Update – 34 Weeks!

    January 27, 2015 - By 

    How far along: 34 weeks – about 6 more to go! Baby size: Lil’ Ziggy is about 4.7 lbs and 18 inches long. I’m measuring at exactly where I should be for 34 weeks too. Belly: Nothing much to say about the belly this week. I don’t think it’s changed much. Here’s a picture – you decide! I look so bleary-eyed. I should start taking my picture first thing in the…. oh that’s right, I’d still be bleary-eyed. Just can’t win. Sleep: It really hasn’t been that bad, all things considered. Not like a few weeks ago where I couldn’t…

    Baby Update – 33 weeks!

    January 21, 2015 - By 

    This’ll be a quick update this week. My brain has been just fried every night, but I wanted to at least get this out! How Far Along: 33 Weeks! Baby Size: Lil’ Ziggy is now probably over 4 lbs and is about 18 inches long. Belly: Chris seems to think that I’ve dropped a bit, but I’m not so sure. I feel like I’m fuller on the lower part of my belly, but I don’t feel like anything else has come down yet. Unfortunately you can’t really tell in comparison to last week. Sleep: It’s been better, lately. The last few nights I’ve been…
