Living On the (Paint) Edge(-ing)

Holy crap, you guys, I finally finished painting the hallway trim after like 2.5+ years. There's still a little bit of white trim above the door that I'd somehow managed to miss when I was doing the white trim, but I think all of the blue edging is actually, finally, officially donezo! Gone are the days of our initial paint color mistakes peeking through- a too-light gray, a too-green blue, then a too-dark blue. It was like goldilocks and the four bears. Actually, there might've been a pretty terrible greenish-tan thrown in there somewhere too.... So, five bears? That final blue is Benjamin Moore's Bird's Egg (2051-60), if you're wondering. 

Needless to say, E is still traumatized by hardware store paint sections.... And dreading the baby's room paint-picking process. I'm not involving him until I have it narrowed down to two or three DEFINITE choices this time. 

Anyway! Here are a couple of before and afters (don't mind the iPhone quality- I still can't find the cord that connects my camera to the computer!): 

Ps- we're officially 30 weeks as of today... Holy moly!! Let the 10-week countdown begin!

29 Week Update

How far along: 29 weeks 6 days

Size of baby:  Average = 2.5-3.8 lbs, 15"-16.7" long, or the size of an acorn squash, but last week when we saw the paperwork from our 20 week anatomy scan, he or she was in the >97% size percentile, soooooo....!?!

Physical symptoms: Just a bunch of aches and pains. Every morning I wake up with a slightly stiff neck. And headaches like whoa. And back to the constipation. Oh and this is TMI but my nipples have been realllllly dry (and therefore super sore) on and off (for months) so I've been using lanolin cream and that really works wonders. And!!!!!! Good news!!!!!! I FINALLY FOUND RELIEF FROM THE RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME!!!! It's not an end-all-be-all solution but it's the only thing that's even vaguely worked. I take a shower, then I turn the water on as hot as I can handle and stick my lower legs in it. Sometimes skip the full shower if I already showered that day and I just stretch while the waters runs on my legs. Then I have to get into bed right away (like within 10 mins) and I'm usually able to fall asleep. I got really nervous for Shabbos this week because I wouldn't be able to use the hot water and it was going to be the first night all week that I couldn't do my "trick" until E and I realized we could use our Shabbos hot water urn to fill up a hot water bottle and I ended up going to bed with it between my calves (wrapped in a towel) and while it wasn't as magical as the shower, it got me to sleep!!! So thank Gd for that. I was seriously losing my mind.

Weight gain/loss: According to my home scale I'm still up 22lbs as of yesterday morning and 20lbs on Friday morning. I'm still gonna use the "I'm constipated!" excuse but it's really somewhere around that.

Maternity clothes: Same- mostly maternity shirts, I now have two denim maternity skirts that I've been living in, but other elastic waist skirts and normal nylons still somehow fit. Maternity dresses or old non-maternity empire waist maxi dresses. And I bought a few tank tops with "shelf bras" to sleep in and they're kind of life savers. I need to get some maternity/nursing bras but I'm still gonna push that off for a bit maybe. A few friends recommended the Bravado brand... any other suggestions out there?

Stretch marks: I don't think so. There still might be some thinking about happening on my hips but it's hard to tell.

Sleep: I've been able to stay asleep much better than last week- it must've been the away-from-home factor throwing that off last week. I've even woken up when E's alarm went off, had a mini conversation or even gone to pee, and fallen right back asleep. Amazing. And thanks to that shower trick I'm actually able to vaguely fall asleep when I want to, so, things are great right now. Still exhausted though.

Best moment since last week: Hmmmm. Got breakfast with some friends that were in town from Seattle- that was really nice. And Shabbos was really fun. We got ice cream on Saturday night... We had a pretty chill week; honestly didn't do much at all. I guess I was nesting though, I did about a million loads of laundry and reorganized our dresser. Fun stuff! ;) 

edit! Oh! And my glucose test came back A-OK!!!!! No gestational diabetes for me!! I seriously can't explain how excited and relieved I am!

Movement: He/she has been really active on my left side- sometimes big kicks, sometimes it felt like the baby was sliding a limb along, which was kind of creepy because it felt like worms under my skin or something. Super weird.. E finally witnesses one of the huge kicks and couldn't believe it. Like he was uncharacteristically surprised at what he saw, lol. Today the movement shifted higher, which is interesting. There hadn't previously been much action up there. At a couple of points it felt like the kid was stretching a limb out straight and then just left it stuck out like that for a few seconds. Because we had such a chill week, E spent a lot of time with his hand on my belly and got to feel the baby a lot more that ever before, which was really nice. He sang her/him songs and talked to him/her a lot, which was crazzzzy cute. Oh and the kid seems to get the hiccups a LOT. Last night he/she seemed to have them for like 15 minutes straight and would kick me HARD every few minutes. She/he was clearly not a happy camper, lol.

Cravings/aversions: Bagels with eggs and cheese is still #1. Shirley Temples (but I haven't had any! E got all of the ingredients Saturday night except that the store didn't have grenadine and we were feeling too lazy to make our own- which we actually usually do). I still really like lemonade if it's in front of me but I don't really crave it. I still really just want ice water All. The. Time. And coffee. I really crave coffee, but haven't been drinking it too much (only like 2-3x this week!) because when I get it, it doesn't taste as amazing as I wanted it to and I'm just as tired 20 minutes later as I was before.

Plain Chicken still grosses me out. And most beef. And fish. 

I still really want a root beer. 

Gender: Confirmed!! But Idk if we're going to tell...

Labor signs: Hopefully not anytime soon.

Belly button:  Innie!

What I miss: I'd still love love love like an extra 3 feet worth of internal body space. By 4:30/5pm every day my ribs feel like they're going to crack from the internal pressure. There's just no room. 

And cocktails. I definitely miss cocktails.

What I am looking forward to: Hitting the 30 week mark tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! Going to Canada for a bit sometime in the next month. E's entire family owns a lake cottage up there and E has visited it every summer of his life. :) And we're getting dinner with some friends on Wednesday. And going to visit some friends for Shabbos in a couple of weeks too. Yeehaw!

27 & 28 Week Update (whoops!)

Idk what happened! I missed week 27! 

Today we had our 28 week Dr appt and the kid is doing well, thank Gd. :) I was all over the place this week- you'll read about some of those adventures in my answers. I'm really exhausted and used a lot of hashtags in this post. Sorryyyy. 

How far along: 28 weeks 6 days

Size of baby:  Average = large eggplant or cucumber... But we just saw the paperwork from our 20 week anatomy scan and back then he or she was in the >97% size percentile, soooooo....!?!

Physical symptoms: I honestly can't really remember what happened last week, but week 28 was full of insomnia- I'd get exhausted around 8, try to sleep, fail, and then try again after 1am and eventually succeed... Only to wake up between 5:30am and 7am. #awesomesauce I also vomited twice on Friday morning out of nowhere. On Saturday, E and I walked ~5 miles and then I danced a LOT at my cousin's wedding Saturday night (after Shabbos) and on Sunday morning I could barely walk so... That's cool. Oh and I couldn't fall asleep Saturday night bc my legs hurt so much (from walking, not restless legs!). My arm and neck muscles have also killllllllled all week from driving from Brooklyn to MA to NH to upstate NY to Brooklyn this week. I'm basically 90 years old and no amount of stretching is helping all the aches. 

Weight gain/loss: Oh Gosh. So... My in-laws threw us a baby shower yesterday and went all out in the food direction, so my weight check-in at our doctor appointment today was a little sad. Oh and I'm constipated. So. According to my home scale I was up 22lbs this morning, but the doctor says "almost 30" so... Yikes and whoops.

Maternity clothes: Same- mostly maternity shirts, I now have two denim maternity skirts that I've been living in, but other elastic waist skirts and normal nylons still somehow fit. Maternity dresses or old non-maternity empire waist maxi dresses. And I bought a few tank tops with "shelf bras" to sleep in and they're kind of life savers. I need to get some maternity/nursing bras but I'm gonna push that off for a bit maybe. 

Stretch marks: I think I caught some by my hips in the mirror this morning but was rushing to get to my Dr appt and didn't take the time to investigate...

Sleep: Hahahahaha.... no. Falling asleep is still next to impossible, still thanks to the restless legs. For one or two nights during week 27 it seemed like eating a banana before bed was solving the problem but that hasn't worked since then. The dr took blood to check my iron levels today but didn't seem too impressed with the iron-deficiency-causes-restless-legs theory. And E's aunt who's a midwife-nurse practitioner said that in her experience, even women who take a small dose of ambien or whatever while pregnant say that it doesn't help their restless legs, so... Seems like we're just gonna have to wait this one out. #11moreweeks. 

Also, until this week, once I was finally asleep I was out cold for a good chunk of time... But this week's new trick is that I wake up like 5 hours later, tops, regardless of what time I fall asleep. It's wonderful. #notttt

Best moment since last week: Again, I can't really remember much from week 27, but this week I drove to MA to visit my family. E had to work so I picked him up at the bus station on Friday and we went to NH Friday-Sunday morning for my cousin's wedding Saturday night. 

(This was after my 5 mile walk and dancing all night. A little exhausted! But then we went to the after-party, haha)

Then Sunday morning we headed to upstate NY to E's parents' house for a baby shower!!! His mom is one of 8 kids so a bunch of her sisters and a brother and their kids all made the trip- some from Michigan or NC. My sister-in-law flew in from Chicago and pretty much planned the whole thing and did an amazing job. We got some awesome gifts, including a lamb baby swing, a rock 'n' roll exersaucer, a million onesies an swaddling blankets, the Baby Bullet, some books... Etc. It was awesome. My SIL had games set up- she froze tiny plastic babies in ice cubes and whoever's ice melted first had to yell "my water broke!!" (I had to add "pretend" in there, but only came in second place haha). And there was a matching game for celebrities and baby names. And people decorated disposable diapers with advice or funny sayings or pictures. It was superrrrr cute. I'd post pictures but it gives away the gender... Hmmm. 

It was a really family love-y week. 

Movement: Homeboy or Homegirl is apparently very shy (like me, not E!) bc she or he barely moved this whole week except for when I'd be laying down or occasionally while I was driving. My mom only got to feel the baby kick once and E's family missed it entirely! Today the dr said my placenta is at the top or something, and guessed that I mostly feel the kicks lowwww down below my belly button and he's right. I'll occasionally feel it above my belly button if I'm sitting down but it's rare. This evening, though, back at home, the kid was right back at it, training for the World Cup with some maaaajor kicks. Baby's just shy I guess. 

Cravings/aversions: Bagel with lox and cream cheese, or bagel with eggs and cheese, or sesame chicken with mashed potatoes (except that I ate it tonight for the first time in like 2 weeks and it was weird so that might be over now), and Shirley temples. And kind of chocolate covered raisins. I really like lemonade if it's in front of me but I don't really crave it. I really just want ice water All. The. Time. Oh and there was this tabouli (sp??) at the baby shower that I loved. And E and I both got really into this tortilla chip/green olive/slice of cheese combo yesterday too. That was weird.

Plain Chicken still grosses me out. And most beef. E grilled some chicken at the baby shower yesterday and I ate a few bites bc his parents had bought it for us, but it was hard. 

I really want a root beer. 

Gender: Confirmed!! But Idk if we're going to tell...

Labor signs: Hopefully not anyyytime soon.

Belly button:  Innie but the skin around it is starting to get tight, EXTREMELY tight post-eating, so...

What I miss: Sleep definitely wins #1. I'd love love love like an extra 3 feet worth of internal body space. By 4:30/5pm every day my ribs feel like they're going to crack from the internal pressure. There's just no room. 

What I am looking forward to: Seeing a few friends that are in town this week. Going to Canada for a bit sometime in te next month or two- E's entire family owns a lake cottage up there and E has visited it every summer of his life. :) 

"Hello (Decor), My Old Friend....

...I've come to talk (and plan) with you again."

Welp, here we are again....

(Heads up: The color in this iPhone pic is super inaccurate. For reference, the current wall color is Benjamin Moore's Stone 2112-40.)

Normally I'd be thankful that E rarely goes into this room except to use the printer, but we have a guest coming to stay with us this weekend so he'll probably be in there helping me get the space guest-ready (we have two bedrooms, so the guest room is going to convert to nursery duty, but we'll keep the trundle bed in there... But right now it's sort of been a storage room since before Passover. Whoops!). Wish me luck with his reaction. ;)

Ps have you seen this?

26 Week Update

How far along: 26 weeks 6 days

Size of baby:  Average = A head of lettuce? Length of a scallion? A zucchini??

Physical symptoms: This wasn't a majorly nauseous week!! Hurray!!!! MAJOR restless legs when I lay down STILL... like, so bad. Therefore, EXHAUSTED. "Pregnancy brain" isn't AS bad this week either. Definitely still feel like everything inside me has no room. And HOT.And still congested with a constant runny/gross nose. Like the past million weeks.

Weight gain/loss: about 17-19lbs depending on the day, yikes

Maternity clothes: Mostly maternity tops or "fat shirts" with belts- as in, shirts from before I lost 30 lbs before getting pregnant, with something tied above my belly. Non-maternity skirts and larger sized nylons still fit. Hit up eBay this week, there's a maternity denim skirt on it's way! And a few things are still too big- an old navy shirt, a dress I got to wear to my cousin's wedding (which is in a few weeks), some leggings. So that's awesome and stinky all at once.

Stretch marks: There MIGHT be one forming from like out of my belly button. E swears he can't see it but my belly button has been SO stretched lately and I really think I see one.

Sleep: Hahahahaha.... no. Once I fall asleep, if I'm left alone I can sleep for like maybe 7 hours. Maybe. But falling asleep is next to impossible, thanks to the restless legs. I read it could be an iron deficiency. Or a something-else deficiency. So I'm gonna try to be way better about my vitamins. I guess.

Best moment since last week: Hmm. Idk. We didn't do much this week. I played Taboo for the first time ever this Shabbos, with friends who are moving to FL in under 2 weeks... that was fun. On Saturday night we went out to dinner with a friend of E's from Brazil and his wife, and we kind of splurged to "keep up" with what they were ordering, and then they secretly paid the whole bill. Which is always awkward, but pretty nice.

4th of July fell on a Friday, so the fireworks were Friday night, so I watched the Manhattan ones off in the distance out our window while E was at the synagogue. There were actually a few shows out my window, really cool.

I switched the knobs on our nightstand.... with E's help. I'll try to remember to post pics. Thankfully I remembered to take a "before". 

Movement: Homeboy or Homegirl has been seriouslyyyy kicking hard this week... it actually REALLY hurts when she or he gets me in the... bladder? Cervix? lol

Cravings/aversions: All coffee is starting to taste "off". Sesame chicken with mashed potatoes has been a huge craving this week- I might've ordered it 3x. Including tonight. I'm eating it right now... What. Also, lox and cream cheese has been a recurring them. And those chocolate coffee caramel balls, but not as bad as before. 

Gender: Confirmed!! But Idk if we're going to tell...

Labor signs: Hopefully not anyyytime soon.

Belly button:  Innie but the skin around it is starting to get tight, EXTREMELY tight post-eating, so...

What I miss: Same as last week- Sleeping is definitely #1 on this list. I'd love an ice cold summer beer too. And like an extra 3 feet worth of internal body space.

What I am looking forward to: OMG 3rd trimester starts tomorrow?! 

At the end of the month we have my cousin's wedding in NH, and E's side of the family is throwing us a baby shower so those'll be fun. First time seeing anyone in our family, besides my father in law, since we started showing. :)

And in August we're going to E's family's lake cottage in Canada. Not excited to drive 12+ hours to get there, but Yesssss to getting out of the city.

K I think I covered everything............... who knows. :)

25 Week Update

Posting this a day late (we're officially 26 weeks today!) because of everything going on in Israel. I just couldn't bring myself to post yesterday after the bodies of the 3 teenagers were found, murdered by terrorists. E and I are both heartbroken, enraged, scared for our many friends living in Israel, etc. It's been all of the feelings imaginable all at once and a numbness at the same time. Whenever anything like this happens, I tend to take it to heart and kind of shut down, so I'm trying to be aware of that trend and stay present and strong and.... Whatever. It's an enormous tragedy and completely infuriating and I wish the rest of the world would wake up and see it as such. 

How far along: 25 weeks 6 days

Size of baby:  Average = an eggplant?! But my homie's been measuring bigger. Also the uterus is supposed to be soccer ball sized- appropriate for the World Cup. 

Physical symptoms: Some nausea (some vomiting). MAJOR restless legs when I lay down. Therefore, EXHAUSTED. I actually was able to fall right asleep 3 nights in a row(!!!!) but that ended on Saturday night.  Peeing every 5 seconds. Irrationally emotional. "Pregnancy brain"- can't remember ANYTHING. Generally feeling like everything inside me has no room. HOT HOT HOT. Anxiety cityyyy. And omg heartburn.

Weight gain/loss: 17-18lbs

Maternity clothes: Mostly maternity tops. Non-maternity skirts and larger sized nylons still fit. Some non maternity dresses. Hit up eBay this week!

Stretch marks: Not yet! 

Sleep: Hahahahaha.... no. Actually did sleep 3 nights in a row and felt like a new person. But then the insomnia started up again Saturday night- we were out late with friends who were in town and I guess I missed my "sleep window" and barely slept. Sunday night I was EXHAUSTED but wired from a friend's daughter's wedding(!!!) and anxious about having jury duty the next morning so I slept less than an hour. Thankfully I fell asleep right away Monday night. 

Best moment since last week: On Shabbos, someone I'd seen the week before walked into the room and was like "WHOA- you POPPED!!" So apparently I'm realllllly showing now. Also, at jury duty the baby was kicking me reallllly hard and it was moving my whole belly, and the person two seats away from me saw it out of the corner of her eye, did a triple take and mouthed to me, "Holy $#!+!!!!", which made me laugh. 

According to the Jewish calendar, our anniversary was this week so on that day E made plans for brunch and then for us to take the train an a ferry to a little town up the Hudson River. But we got off to a late start and missed "brunch" and I was emotional and couldn't find anything on the lunch menu I wanted to eat. So we left and tried another place but I realllly just wanted breakfast food so we ended up going to a little hole in the wall place in our neighborhood that was still serving pancakes and eggs. And that was super nice. We go sandwiches to go, and ended up just going to Prospect Park because it was crazy hot (88* and humid) and I wasn't sure how long I'd last in the heat, etc. We didn't do much- just sat in a nice shady spot by a waterfall and chatted. When it inevitably did get too hot we walked to a 7-eleven and got Slurpees and took the bus back to our neighborhood, ducked into a toy store to buy a few board games, and played them all afternoon in the AC. Really nice afternoon actually. Here's a pic from the park:

Thursday night we also went to a goodbye party for one of E's friends from college in Manhattan.

On Shabbos, on the 3rd or 4th attempt, I finally beat E at Risk! We had a quiet Friday night meal at home, just the two of us. And for Shabbos lunch we went to friends who'd involved mutual friends who are movig to FL in two weeks. The Shabbos before a Jewish woman's wedding, it's customary to have a get-together for all the female friends and relatives, so I headed to my friend's house for that. There were a million desserts and yummy things there and tons of friends also attended. 

Saturday night we went out to dinner with friends who were in town from Boston. I wasn't feeling great but it was still fun. 

Sunday was this much-anticipated wedding and it was beautiful.  We saw  friends from Montreal, Long Island, Boston, western MA, NJ, Israel, etc. It was really nice.  Here's what I wore after the more summer-appropriate dress I'd planned on wearing turned out to still be too big and I had a total emotional meltdown over it, haha: 

Monday I had jury duty, and was there for 8 hours and almost got picked but didn't (thank Gd- sitting for that long was reallllly hard). Now I'm exempt for 8 years. Yes!

Afterwards, E picked me up and we grabbed dinner on the way home. This is what E got- he def made the best food choice that night (his lemonade/beer Shandy is in the background, I had a homemade ginger soda): 

Movement: Still kicking. A lot. And hard. It moves my whole belly most of the time now. :) 

Cravings/aversions: I gave up on the no coffee thing and was able to sleep those 3 nights this week, so I'm not going overboard with coffee but also not avoiding it. But the point is, I still hate homemade coffee.  

I still can't go near chicken or most other meat, or fish other than lox or whitefish salad. Apparently this kid is reallllllly Jewish.

Strawberry cheesecake has been my jam lately. I've only had it like 3x but.... Still. Also, these caramel chocolate balls. All healthy choices. I bought a big thing of berry-carrot juice and am going to try and drink that when I need something sweet but, y'know. 

Gender: Confirmed!! But Idk if we're going to tell...

Labor signs: Hopefully not anyyytime soon.

Belly button:  Innie but the skin around it is starting to get tight, so...

What I miss: Sleeping is definitely #1 on this list. I'd love an ice cold summer beer too. And like an extra 3 feet worth of internal body space.

What I am looking forward to: Since I'm posting late, we are 1 week away from the 3rd trimester- what!? That's terrifying and exciting all at once. I started slooooowly working on the nursery this week (a test swatch of fabric I'd ordered arrived, I hung some paint swatches on the wall to compare, I stuck a framed picture we'd bought last year up on the wall next to them for comparison, and we rearranged the furniture to make room for a crib- and E finally downsized the enormous amount of stuff his parents had dropped off when they moved last year!!!)

We've also got my cousin's wedding in NH and E's side of the family is throwing us a baby shower at the end of the month so those'll be fun. First time seeing anyone in our family, besides my father in law, since we started showing. :) 

24 Week Update

How far along: 24 weeks 6 days

Size of baby:  Average = an ear of corn but my homie's bigger. Also, my uterus is apparently the size of a soccer ball. Cute.

Physical symptoms: Some nausea (some vomiting). MAJOR restless legs when I lay down. Therefore, EXHAUSTED. Insomnia (big time). Peeing every 5 seconds. Irrationally emotional. "Pregnancy brain"- can't remember ANYTHING. Generally feeling like everything inside me has no room.

Weight gain/loss: 13-17 lbs depending on the day

Maternity clothes: Mostly maternity tops. Non-maternity skirts and larger sized nylons still fit. Still also have some non maternity dresses that still work.

Stretch marks: Not yet!

Sleep: Sleep? What is this word? I am MAJORLY exhausting and dealing with insomnia and major restless legs at night. Normally it's super frustrating but not horrendous bc I can entertain myself (I've gotten reallllly into sudoku on my Kindle during this time). But on Shabbos I totally lost it. I was just so freaking tired and too tired to read a magazine or book and there was no way to really entertain myself. Lotsssss of tears involved. Poor, poor E.

Best moment since last week: Viability?? I know it's not a definite by any means, but it's one more minor sigh of relief for this paranoid, baby-carrying, chick. 

Our anniversary- 5 YEARS!!! Geez Louise. We haven't actually celebrated yet but might do something Wednesday or Thursday this week. Not sure what yet. E got me some gorgeous flowers for Shabbos though: 

We had a doctor appointment on Friday and it was kind of quick and to the point but he did a two second long ultrasound and the chickadee's heart was beating away and there were kicks all around. 

The morning after Father's Day (during week 23 actually, whoops!) I posted the photo from last week on Instagram to spr of "announce" it all... And the response was overwhelming and so touching. We're stillllll keeping it off of Facebook but it was nice to sort of "out" ourselves on some form of social media. 

Ahh and on Shabbos we saw a bunch of old friends- a couple we know were in town for the weekend en route to live in Germany for 3 years wth their 5 kids!! He's an army chaplain. And another friend, from Boston, was in town for Shabbos too. And this guy I went to college with had just gotten engaged and his fiancé lives in our neighborhood so he was also in town for Shabbos. 

Pretty busy and fun week!

Movement: Baby is moving a littttle less than he/she was two weeks ago (back then it was legit nonstop) but still kicking me. A lot. And hard. 

Cravings/Aversions: Homemade coffee is still not cutting it. I've been going coffee-free as much as possible in hopes that it'll help me sleep but so far, no dice. So I might keep trying that for a few more days and see if it helps and if not, I'm just gonna embrace my coffee needs. Bc insomnia makes coffee necessary, not just nice. 

Still on a Parmesan kick (I eat plain slices of it, haha). And I'm loving Popsicles. I'm either having a major allergies flair up or have a cold so my nose is constantly running and my mouth and throat are really dry so they're coming in handy- we bought some lemon ginger tea on Friday and I plan on making some Popsicles out of it for when I'm super nauseous. I'll let you know how that goes. I was realllllly into a broccoli salad someone served this Shabbos. And sourdough bread. 

Oh! And I realllllllllllllly wanted crab Rangoons but no kosher restaurants make them soooo we made our own "crab" Rangoons (with Kani/fake crab) on Thursday night and they were amazeballs (we used this recipe but substituted 6 kani sticks and used eggroll wrappers instead of wonton ones):

I still can't go near chicken or most other meat. And someone served gazpacho at a Shabbos meal this week and I could barely look at it. 

Gender: Confirmed!! But Idk if we're going to tell...

Labor signs: Hopefully not anyyytime soon.

Belly button:  Innie but the skin around it is starting to get tight, so...

What I miss: Sleeping is definitely #1 on this list.

What I am looking forward to: Doing something fun for our anniversary! I can't believe it's been 5 freaking years. :) I posted this pic of FB and Instagram:
