Symptoms: I'm starting to have Braxton Hicks contractions a little more frequently, but it's usually after/during exercise (or going up and down stairs). I just rest and drink some water and they subside. It's not painful, just a little uncomfortable. My belly is starting to "get in the way", sometimes (when I play the piano, hold Tatum on my lap, empty the dishwasher, carry the laundry basket, paint my toe nails, etc.). However, sometimes it comes in handy. The other day, I dropped a spoon, and my belly "caught" it for me. :) It's been super uncomfortable bending over to pick things up, so that was so helpful!
I'm still wearing my wedding ring which I'm very excited about. I think this time, last pregnancy, my fingers were too swollen (plus, it was summer) to wear it. :(
Maternity clothes: I hope that they'll all still fit me throughout the rest of my pregnancy! I feel like I've been growing so much and there's no more room!
Cravings: Lately, I've been loving Stonyfield's french vanilla yogurt and blueberries! It's so weird because I couldn't even stand the thought of blueberries during the first and second trimesters.
Movement: I feel like this little guy has definitely flipped (head down). His kicking is a lot stronger at the top of my belly (like his feet?). It's so crazy feeling him "respond" to touch outside of the womb... he'll kick back if you touch him. He moves the most when I wake up on the morning and in the evening before I go to bed.
you're looking great, Jessica!! So glad you're feeling good!!! :)
