Total weight gain: 17.2 lbs.

Maternity clothes? I gave in and finally bought a pair of maternity pants.  My belly is getting too big!!!

Stretch marks?  My old ones are starting to get more noticeable again. 

Sleep: Not great.  Between the constant movement and just not being comfortable sleep is difficult. 

Best moment this week: My mom, Ali and I went on a quick trip to Portland this past weekend. I also had a Dr's. appt. and heard Christian's heartbeat, he was moving and kicking so much she could barely get a good count :).  My mom and I also went to a truffle making class this week, it was a lot of fun!

Miss Anything? Just being comfortable in my own skin. Pregnancy has always been hard for me to fully embrace :).  

Movement: The only time he stops is when I'm working out. 

Food cravings:  Not too bad lately.  But it's hard not to pass up sweets!
