Well, the party's over. It's back to work this week for Baby Girl and I! She is rebelling by stretching out her little arms and legs as far as they will go to try and contort mama's belly into interesting shapes! This week she is the size of a...
Oh My Squash! ;) And what's even more exciting!? I am now officially in my 8th month of pregnancy! Woohoo! I can almost see the finish line! :)
What's Baby Up To?
How's Mama?
Symptoms: Still. Having. Heartburn. Ughhh... It is a daily occurrence. Luckily, I complained about it to my doctor and she prescribed me an extra-strength antacid medicine. Yay! Hopefully, it'll kick in soon. Does this mean baby will have a head full of golden locks when she's born? We shall see!
Other than heartburn, my belly is beginning to weigh me down. Some days I feel like it might explode because it feels so tight or even just fall off. Going for even a one mile walk is starting to be pretty taxing. I wish it were warmer - swimming in a pool, weightless, sounds like heaven to me right now...
Cravings: Popsicles. Specifically, Steel City Pops - a little popsicle shop that is within walking distance of our house. Luckily, it isn't too bad of a habit. They are made with organic, natural, and gluten-free ingredients. But... they just introduced the most delicious product in all the land - the cookie pop. A vanilla or chocolate popsicle with your choice of a chocolate chip cookie or brownie on the inside. A pregnant lady's dream come true... Or at least mine. I am trying to limit myself to 2 trips a week. Or maybe 3. ;)
Weight Gain: Too afraid to hit the scale due to my cookie pop addiction! ;)

What's Baby Up To?
- Her fingernails are fully grown! Time for a mani! :)
- All of her organs are fully developed, except for her lungs.
- Her skin is no longer see-through, as she has now accumulated enough fat under her skin.
- She is supposedly sleeping 90-95% of the day... (Ha! I'm going to have to call BS on that. She is ALWAYS on the move! Although, kindly, she doesn't wake me up at night. Could I possibly be so lucky as to win the baby lottery and have an angel baby who is awake during the day and sleeps at night...? Fingers crossed!)

Our sweet girl has been extremely entertaining this week. I'm beginning to think she will be active and full of personality. She is quite the wiggle worm and prefers to nestle what we think is her little bootie all the way up against the right side of mama's tummy! This pic is probably an overshare, but I just think it's so funny how she does this!
Even the doctor was like, "whoa!", last time she was checking her heartbeat - which was nearly impossible due to her constant movement!
We can't wait to meet you, silly girl!
8 more weeks to go!!! :)
