Maternity clothes? oh yeah
Stretch marks? none yet!
Sleep: not terrible this week, I have been more tired than ever, so I'm sure that is why
Best moment this week: just soaking up every last bit of being pregnant ..laying around feeling her move & throwing back all the snacks I can get my hands on. We also got a surprise ultra sound and saw some hair but she kept her sweet little hands in front of her face the whole time! Dr. estimates her weight was 6 lbs 2 oz and 7-7 1/2 when born but thinks she may come after her due date :( 
Miss Anything? so many things...but I know I will miss my baby belly more than all of them at this point!
Movement: oh yes she is a little wiggle worm and mostly makes my belly look pretty lopsided, I think she just loves to stretch and stick her little bum out! Can't wait to see that on the outside, or as Maisy says, "can't wait to see Stacie's baby buns!" haha
Food cravings: sweets (surprise!)
Anything making you queasy or sick: just sweaty garlic girl at the gym!
Gender: Girl

Belly Button in or out? out at times but still mostly flat
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy & EXCITED to say the least!
