No

Symptoms: 

Acne. Eh. I really wish it would go away. It is getting better but way worse than my norm. Back/hip pain which stinks because all the PT exercises from my wreck require you to lay on your back which is a big NONO. 

Belly Button in or out? 

I think it looks bigger?! Is that even possible? I can see the inside now... I think it’s going to be an outie..yuck.

Wedding rings on or off? 

On getting tighter when I get really hot..which seams to be all the time these days 

Have you started to show yet?

Yes! I have noticed a few people who don’t know staring at my stomach. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: 

HAPPY!!! :))) 

Looking forward to: 

Getting baby boy’s room ready! Picking a name. 

Random:

Dropped a water bottle on my toe. The next day a 2 year old dropped a chair on the same foot and then a 5 year old rolled a chair over that same foot. Dropping and running into everything.  

Reading Materials:

Finished The Nurturing Touch at Birth: A Labor Support Handbook it was really overwhelming- I wouldn’t suggest it.
