Had some more braxton hicks. There was that first one which was kind of high across my belly, then there was one that was low across the underside, and a third kind that actually felt like menstrual cramps. I've had a bunch more like the second version. It took me a while to realize that's what it was though. I kept wondering why she was grinding her entire body down into my pelvis. Then I felt my stomach and it was all hard. And since she can't be everywhere on my stomach at once making it hard, I finally figured it out. So I had, maybe, two today and one or two yesterday. At least now I can explain to people why I'm making those horrible faces.
She's been very active the last couple days. I don't know if she's trying to find a new comfy position or if she just likes beating me up from the inside.
The Happy Baby Company is having a contest on facebook. Upload a picture of your baby wearing a cloth diaper, I think the winner gets a diaper. I don't remember. Anyway I uploaded this picture:
There's lot's of adorable babies in cloth diapers so I don't think I'll win but I thought it was funny.
Mommy's stats
I seem to be at about 20 pounds total so far. They aren't kidding about that one to two pounds a week thing. Seeing the numbers on the scale is kind of horrible. I especially don't like when the 10s place goes up a digit. That's going to happen again next week probably.
Stretch marks are even worse. Still not awful but worse. I bought Mama Bee belly balm by burts bees. I doubt it will help but it's nice to give myself a belly massage.
Kaida's Stats
Almost three pounds and about 15.7 inches long. Her eyesight is getting better, but it's still pretty awful and will be for a while after she's born. I guess she's mostly cooked now, just waiting to get bigger 'cause they didn't list much in the development part of the e-mail.
Now that the nursery is done it's just a waiting game!
