No side shot this time around...we tried it and I looked huge! Cooking time:  39 weeks, 1 day...really hoping this is my last pregnancy post :) Weight gain:  +24 lbs...gained 3 whole pounds in 10 days in between Dr. appointments this time around! Maternity clothes:  Same...dresses and skirts :) Food cravings:  No cravings...haven't really been in the mood to cook.  Its been in the mid 90's all week so I've just been trying to drink ALOT of water. Food dislikes:  nothing Missing:  Sleeping, bending over/tying shoes, getting off the couch...ugh its all just annoying now. What we've been up to:  -I'm officially bored on maternity leave.  The house is clean, all baby clothes are washed and organized, there are a couple freezer meals ready for post baby, hospital bags have been packed and repacked, and car seat bases are installed. -We had a great day off together yesterday.  We hit up 2 new wineries nearby (don't worry I tasted but spit).
