Weigh Gain: + 29 lbs, Yes folks I hit 160. Although it was shocking to see on the scale, I am ok with it.
Stretch Marks? None that I can see. Bring on the cocoa butter!
Sleep? I have my nights where I sleep 9 hours and then I have nights where I sleep 6 hours because of heartburn or bathroom breaks. I am always very thirsty at night so I pee about 5-6 times a night.
Best moment this week: My first baby shower is this weekend in NJ. Excited! Also my ankle and feet swelling is gone. Let's hope it stays this way.
Movement? Yes tons of movement, especially at night. It's fun to see his head and butt move across my belly. Apparently the little sucker is still head up so we are hoping he finds his way down below soon. Jeff has been talking to him every night and trying to get him to move.
Food Cravings: Lots of fruit and water. Must be the heat. Meat is still not on the top of my list, but I eat it for the little guy.
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs: None that I know of. I have some tightness in my belly every once in awhile, but I assume that is just Austin pushing around.
Belly Button in or out? It seems that only one side is going to pop out. I think it has reached it's limit but who knows.
What I am looking forward to: Finishing the nursery. We have all of the furniture, so now I just need to decorate and organize the closet. Pictures will be up soon!
Weekly Wisdom: Rest when you can. I don't know what I would do if I was working right now. Between the heat and exhaustion I take naps quite often. I know that soon I will not have this luxury, so I am soaking it up while I can!
What is going on in my head this week: Oh my God this little guy has to come out of me in 8.5 weeks. Ahhhhh!
On a side note my glucose test came back fine. No gestational diabetes yay!
Congratulations to the Shinaberry family on the birth of Cole Henry. He is so adorable and we had an awesome time with you the other day. Doesn't Jeff look pretty comfortable with Cole?!?! 

Yay!! 8.5 weeks:-)
