38 Weeks (8/1/2016)

How far along: 38 weeks!  1 week to go!  I cannot wait to meet this little one!!
Maternity clothes: Usually!
Best moment this week: We had a fabulous little family getaway this past weekend.  Our last family trip before we become a family of 5!
Movements:  Lots of movements, all the time.  I can't believe this baby will be on the outside soon!
Miss anything?  Bending and getting out of bed more easily!
Sleep: Still up almost every night for a few hours at a time.  I am so TIRED lately.  I went to bed at 8:30 last night and I'm still exhausted right now.
Anything make you sick or queasy?  Nope!
Exercise: I think all the exercise I did this past weekend nearly did me in!  Dancing at the wedding and then walking around an amusement park in the sun on Sunday gave me a giant headache.
Looking forward to:  Meeting baby!  The countdown is more than officially on!  A week from now I will be snuggling my sweet baby!

37 Weeks (7/25/2016)

How far along: 37 weeks!  Today, I am 37 weeks and 1 day--exactly how far along I was when I got to meet Ben!  Crazy.  And only 13 days until we get to meet this one!
Maternity clothes: Yep!  Looking forward to packing them away though.  (Until next time…hahah!)
Best moment this week: I'm not sure if I wrote about this, but my ultrasound went well last week.  Baby is measuring small, which is just normal for me.  The docs were not worried at all.  The estimated weight was 5#8oz of sweet baby boy or girl!!
Movements:  Lots and lots of movements!
Miss anything:  I'm ready to move more easily again. :)
Sleep: Sleep has been rough this past week or so!  I've been up for 2-3 hours at a time overnight.  It seems like the minute I finally fall asleep I hear a little voice saying, "momma!" over and over on the monitor.  (Could be Ben, could be Josh)  I have been trying to not look at the time when I wake up in the night because that just stresses me out and keeps me up even longer.  Last night, Ben came down twice and ended up in our bed around 2:00AM.  I moved to his bed at 3:00AM and sleep like a dream until 6:00AM.  ;)  Overall, I'm just exhausted lately.  By the time I get home from work,  I can barely keep my eyes opened!  I had wanted to get caught up on my weekend blog posts but I just don't see that happening in the next 13 days.
Anything make you sick or queasy?  Strong scents are making me a little queasy lately.  I'm actually surprised that odors didn't bother me sooner this time around!
Exercise: I'm still doing DVDs when I'm not completely exhausted.
Looking forward to:  My cousin is getting married this weekend!  I'm also REALLY looking forward to meeting this baby!!!!  I'm so excited for the boys to meet their baby!  And of course Andy too!

36 Weeks (7/18/2016)

How far along: Holy cow!  36 weeks already!!  I had Ben at 37 weeks and I cannot imagine having a baby next week! Or in 3 weeks for that matter.  I can't even put in to words how quickly these past 36 weeks have gone.
Maternity clothes: You bet!  Not too much longer…
Best moment this week: We had another fun weekend that I may or may not get around to blogging about.
Movements: This baby is always moving!  I feel like he is really low, though not necessarily that he "dropped" like my OB asked me last week.  He still hangs out on the right side.  I love feeling all the kicks!
Miss anything?  It's getting harder to move around but I still can't complain.  I am also looking forward to having a glass of wine in the near future!
Sleep: Sleep has not been great.  I wake up most nights and if it's around 3:00 or later, I cannot fall back to sleep.  Sometimes the boys wake me up, and sometimes I just wake up on my own.  (Mostly it's those cute boys though…)  I've been having some pretty vivid dreams lately too.  I'm just more tired overall lately.
Anything make you sick or queasy?  Nope
Exercise: I took a few days off over the weekend due to pure exhaustion, but I was back at it this morning!  (Because Ben woke me up to go to the bathroom this morning around 5…then was crying when I made Andy put him back to bed instead of me…and then I never fell back to sleep.)
Looking forward to: I'm excited and a tiny bit nervous for the ultrasound on Wednesday.  I'm sure he's fine, but it is still a little nerve-wracking.  I'm also REALLY looking forward to meeting this baby in 3 weeks from today!!!!  We got the bassinet out and have plenty of newborn diapers.  We're ready for you, baby boy or girl!

35 Weeks (7/11/2016)

I am late again, but it's been a busy week!  We took this pictures this morning and clearly the morning light is too much, but you get the idea.  Oh, and don't mind Ben in his undies.

How far along: 35 weeks!  I saw my OB today and I'm measuring 2 weeks behind (not a huge shocker), so I'm going to have an ultrasound to check growth next week.  He truly wasn't concerned as he knows by now that I grow small babies, but he said we could do an ultrasound to put my mind at ease that baby is getting good blood flow, nutrition, etc…  This is actually pretty late in my pregnancy for something to stress me out a bit, so that's a record for me!
Maternity clothes: The Nordstrom anniversary sale has me way too excited to be done with maternity clothes!  I may have done a little damage this morning. :)
Best moment this week: I feel like I've barely gotten to see my boys this week!  I was gone for dinners 2 nights (tonight included) this week and I'm so sad when I don't get to see them at night.  And thus, the best moment this week was any time that my little family has been together!
Movements: Yes!  He seems especially active in the evenings.  (Or maybe that's just the only time I'm sitting still long enough to notice them. )
Miss anything? It's getting a little more difficult to move around, but I can't complain.  I think this is the best I've felt over all out of all of my pregnancies.  I could definitely do some cooler weather though!
Sleep: We went a good week with both boys sleeping through the night!  They were both up for brief periods last night, but it was around 10:30 so I hadn't even fallen asleep yet.  MUCH better than the 3:00AM hour!  There was a night or two when I couldn't fall back to sleep after getting up to go to the bathroom, but not bad at all.
Anything make you sick or queasy?  Nope
Exercise: With the exception of Sunday, I've done a DVD every morning since the last time I posted!  Love it.
Looking forward to: Tomorrow is Friday so of course I'm looking forward to the weekend!  I'm also looking forward to seeing this sweet baby on ultrasound next week!

34 Weeks (7/4/2016)

Well I had every intention of taking a patriotic bump pic, but we had such a busy day that I completely forgot.  I'll post more on our holiday weekend soon!

How far along: 34 weeks!  Actually 34w3 days by this point.  I don't think the weeks could go any faster!  I have severe pregnancy brain that I hope resolves after the baby arrives.  Nothing a little sleep deprivation can't cure, right? ;)
Maternity clothes: I still wear them, but the top I'm wearing in this picture is actually non-maternity!  Looking forward to getting back to my regular clothes soon.
Best moment this week:  We had an amazingly fabulous 4th of July weekend!
Movements: All the time!  Still waiting for Ben to feel the baby kick!
Miss anything?  This question fell off my list some how, but I'm not missing too much.  It's getting harder to roll over in bed, but it's really not too bad.  Still looking forward to a glass of vino!
Sleep: I fear I will jinx things by saying the last 2 nights have been good, but the boys are just so cute and sweet when they wake up in the middle of the night it is hard to get mad!
Anything make you sick or queasy:  Not really sick or queasy but I strongly dislike being hot and I get hot often!  It reminds me of when I was pregnant with that little hot box named Ben!
Exercise: I just told Andy I was going to do a work-out DVD for 21 days straight starting today.  And then I plopped down with my laptop to write this.  :)
Looking forward to: Another jam-packed, fun-filled weekend!

33 Weeks (6/27/2016)

How far along: I'm 33 weeks FOR REAL this time!  Didn't even erase the chalkboard from last week! ;)
Maternity clothes: I feel like I wear the exact same things all of the time, but I've been comfortable!
Best moment this week: I had an uneventful check up today, which was good.  I'm measuring 2 weeks behind, like usual!  I feel like I look HUGE in the pictures this week, but I guess I'm not that big.  I saw the NP today instead of my regular doctor, who knows that I grow small babies.  (Oh my gosh, is that grammatically correct?  I'm out of practice!)
Movements:  Lots of them!  Andy has felt them a bunch, but I'm still waiting for Ben to wait long enough to feel one.  He thinks he has felt them, but I'm pretty sure that was just my breathing.
Sleep: Thankfully, aside from our recent nights in a hotel, sleep has been good!  I wake up early every morning, but I don't really mind that.  I have been a lot more tired lately.  I also feel like I'm entering nesting mode!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.
Labor signs: No.
Exercise:  I've been doing a workout DVD here and there!
Looking forward to: I can't wait for the 4th of July weekend!  Lots of fun plans!

32 Weeks (6/20/2016)

I missed 31 weeks, but these weeks just go so darn fast!

How far along: 32 weeks!  BUT I WROTE 33 WEEKS ON THE CHALKBOARD!  Haha!  It's kinda like 33 weeks since I'm having a c-section at 39 weeks, which must have been what I was thinking since I've been saying I have 7 weeks to go.  Either that or I'm just sleep deprived and have pregnancy brain.  OOPS!
Maternity clothes: You bet!  Dresses everyday!
Best moment this week: We had so much fun celebrating all of the dads in our life!  Ben was so excited for Father's Day!  Can't wait to see Andy be a dad for baby #3!
Sleep: The boys took turns waking up in the night last week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nada!
Labor signs: Nope.  I think I've had a few Braxton Hicks contractions.
Exercise:  No DVDs with no sleep!  Boo!
Looking forward to:  I have an ultrasound this week!  Can't wait to see that little face!!!  (But still don't want to find out what we're having.  We've waited this long, might as well wait a few more weeks to officially hear that we are having a boy!)

27 Weeks (5/16/2016)

How far along? 27 weeks!   Only 12 weeks to go! (Assuming I have a c/s at 39 weeks.)
Maternity clothes: Of course!  Dresses every day.  I look larger in these pics than I feel, which I suppose is a good thing. ;)
Best moment this week: Andy's graduation weekend!  It was so fun and so exhausting at the same time.  The boys LOVED celebrating daddy-o!  I am so proud of all his hard work and it was so cool to finally meet some of the people he has been talking about for the past few years.  Although apparently everyone already knew who I was-- the one who was pregnant the whole time.  Haha!
Miss anything: I had thought of something the other day, but I forgot.  (Maybe I'm missing my brain!)
Movements: Yep.  For awhile I think the baby was lying sideways, but now I can't tell when the butt or head is anymore!
Sleep:  Sleep has definitely been lacking since the weekend.  Last night was ROUGH.  (Hence the glasses today!) Ben was up at some point in the night and Josh was really hard to console from about 1:30 until he was up for good at 5:20.  Brining him in our bed, rocking him, singing to him, and giving him ibuprofen did not help.  There was a lot of crying and I had flashbacks to what life was like only a few short months ago.  EXHAUSTING!!!!  Hopefully it wasn't a glimpse in to the future!!  
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor signs: No.
Exercise: I think I only did my DVDs a few times this week, but chasing Josh around all weekend counts for something, right?!
Looking forward to: Andy NOT having school this weekend!  

39 Weeks

How far along? 39 weeks!  Tomorrow is baby's birthday!!!!
Maternity clothes?  I truly enjoyed picking out my FINAL maternity outfit for work today.  Adios, maternity wear!  (Not to say I'll be fitting in my own clothes again tomorrow afternoon…)
Movement:  All the time.  I love it!  It is one less thing for me to worry about.  
Sleep: I actually (finally) have been getting up at least once a night to go to the bathroom.  It's about 50/50 if I fall back to sleep right away.  I hope to go to bed early tonight because we have to be to the hospital at 4:00AM!  Praying I get some sleep tonight because I imagine there won't be much of it tomorrow!
Food cravings:  No.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.   
Labor signs: I am having more frequent Braxton Hicks contractions.  That's about it!
Exercise: Nope.  Stairs are my exercise these days.   
Miss anything? I really don't mind being pregnant, but I am excited that I will no longer be preggo after tomorrow!  
Looking forward to:  Finally meeting baby brother!  
Best moment this week:  I'm sure tomorrow will be the best moment this week!  After excessive agonizing over VBAC versus repeat c/s, I finally decided that I would do another c-section.  I really wanted to try a VBAC, but ultimately the risks and statistics were too scary for me.  I have heard/seen too many VBAC horror stories.  I just want him to be born as safely as possible!  I am so excited to meet this little guy and I'm also so eager for Ben to meet him too!  I am sure he will love his little brother to death, but I think it will be hard for him to share the spotlight!  He gets so much attention right now. :)  He is sleeping at Nana's tonight.  We told him that the doctor is going to get the baby out tomorrow.  I'm not sure he fully understands this. :)  

38 Weeks

How far along? 38 weeks! 
Maternity clothes?  Of course!  
Movement:  He loves kicking me in the upper right side near my ribs.  I love feeling those little kicks!
Sleep: I'm sleeping better now that I'm finally feeling better!  Unfortunately Andy seems to have whatever Ben and I had.  Still hoping for a healthy house by the time baby arrives!
Food cravings:  Not really.  I haven't been extremely hungry lately.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.   
Labor signs: Just Braxton Hicks contractions.  I keep hoping for some though! 
Exercise: Something tells me I won't be seeing the inside of the gym for awhile now.   
Miss anything? Rolling in bed with ease would be nice. :)
Looking forward to:  Meeting baby boy!!  Likely in a week!  This week was a little stressful because the little guy is measuring quite a bit on small side, which has me freaking out a bit.  I was really hoping to try for a VBAC, which I could still do, but a bigger part of me now just wants him out safe and sound.  (And the sooner the better!)  I have a c/s scheduled for  next Thursday!
Best moment this week:  I'm so happy that I feel better!  I am also looking forward to a relaxing weekend---massage tomorrow night and a pedicure on Saturday.  I can't wait!  I'm also seeing the Nutcracker on Sunday and hanging out with my co-workers on Sunday.  Although, I wouldn't mind at all if baby boy decided he wants to make an appearance this weekend…

37 Weeks

(As usual, time was very limited this morning, thus the work clothes versus the workout clothes.)

How far along? 37 weeks! (and 1 day, to be exact…the age that I had Ben at!)
Maternity clothes?  Absolutely.  I'm wearing skirts and dresses for comfort reasons.  
Movement:  He is still moving a ton.  Ben actually got to feel some real kicks tonight too!
Sleep: My sleep has not been great this week, but this is primarily from coughing and blowing my nose all night long.  I am STILL under the weather and I actually got worse over the last few days.  I have never had a cough/cold this long.  It's miserable!  Ben has the same thing but he seems to be handling it better than me.  He is constantly asking, "Momma ok?  Momma ok?" And then saying, "feel better momma" in the sweetest little voice.  LOVE that boy.  
Food cravings:  Not really.  Still loving my pomegranates and I'm afraid they are already going out of season.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.   
Labor signs: Not unless being 1cm dilated is a labor sign.  ;)  
Exercise: I like to think what used to be my abs/obliques are getting a work out from coughing so much!  Poor baby boy is probably wondering what is going on!
Miss anything? Feeling healthy…not having a cough/cold
Looking forward to:  Feeling better!  I'm also looking forward to Breakfast With Santa this weekend with Benji!  I really just want to feel better before Baby Boy arrives though!
Best moment this week:  Despite feeling like garbage, it has been a good week.  I can't believe tomorrow is FRIDAY!  My sweet coworkers had a surprise baby shower for me today.  We also had St. Nick come last night so Andy could be there since he has school this weekend.  And then he will be done for a whole month.  I CANNOT WAIT!!!  So baby brother, we are ready for you any time after daddy is done on Saturday.   

36 Weeks

How far along? 36 weeks!
Maternity clothes?  All the time!  Good thing I only have a few weeks to go because I'm definitely outgrowing my maternity attire.  
Movement:  I love that he is moving ALL THE TIME!  I though Ben moved a lot but this little guy always makes sure that I know he is there, especially in my right ribs.  :)
Sleep: It is a bit of a process to roll over at night, but I am still sleeping well at night!  
Food cravings:  Not really.  Pretty excited for Thanksgiving though!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  Feeling good! 
Labor signs: I think I'm getting those Braxton Hicks contractions, but not that often.  .  
Exercise: Everything I do feels like exercise these days!  No gym trips this week though. :/ 
Miss anything? I'm starting to miss bending with ease!
Looking forward to:  Another 4 day weekend!  I can't believe it is almost December aka Birthday month for baby boy!
Best moment this week:  Ben and I are still a little under the weather, but thankfully he seems to be on the mend.  Nothing beats extra Benji snuggles, just wish he was feeling better!  So, a healthy Ben will be the best moment this week.  Seeing him get excited about the snow is pretty fun too though.  

35 Weeks

How far along? 35 weeks.  5 weeks til Christmas and BABY!!!!
Maternity clothes?  I am about 8 pounds below where I was at this time when I was pregnant with Ben, yet somehow my clothes are so uncomfortable!
Movement:  He is still kicking a LOT!  The ultrasound tech confirmed that he is indeed an active and strong little one.
Sleep: I still can't believe I typically sleep through the night!
Food cravings:  Not really.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  Feeling good! 
Labor signs: Nope.  I really don't feel like he is going to be making an appearance any time soon.  
Exercise: I think I only went to the gym once this past week.  I have a not so fun cold right now, so hopefully I'll get to the gym more when I'm feeling better.  
Miss anything? My clothes being more comfy. :)
Looking forward to:  Feeling better!  My sweet Benji gave me his cold.  Well, it's probably my fault since I couldn't resist kissing his boogery little cheeks.  Excited to take Ben to a Marquette game this weekend too!
Best moment this week:  I had an ultrasound on Tuesday which confirmed that the little guy looks beautiful and healthy!  He is estimated to be 4 pounds and 10 ounces.  We brought Ben (and Krispy Kremes!) to the appointment everyone was SO excited to see him!  In true Benji form, he was talking away and they were all blown away by how well he is doing.  Such a happy day. :)

34 Weeks

How far along? 34 weeks.  I can hardly believe that in 3 weeks I will be FULL TERM and that is how far along I was when I met Ben!
Maternity clothes?  Mostly just skirts and dresses for the comfort factor.  I've even been tolerating heels at work---for the most part, that is.  
Movement:  This boy is strong!  If I didn't know better, I would think he is trying to get out with a vengeance.  Luckily he knows to stay put until I'm at least 37 weeks or so.  38.5 would be perfect. ;)
Sleep: Sleep is still good.  
Food cravings:  I don't know if it is really a craving, but my obsession with pomegranates is in full force this year.  I LOVE those things!  I wish they were around for more than a month or two.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  Feeling good! 
Labor signs: I rarely get those Braxton Hicks contractions.  
Exercise: I got to go to the gym last weekend and today!  Ben went to the daycare there this morning and he loved it!  I was always nervous to drop him off (afraid of the tears and the germs) but he didn't shed a single tear!  You can see the kids through a big window and after being there for about 1 minute he had found a ball and was a happy camper.  I could totally get used to this "stay at home mom" gig…  I only was there for an hour so I didn't feel too guilty. 
Miss anything? A glass of wine still sounds nice...
Looking forward to:  4 days off with both, well technically all 3, of my boys!  I have off until Monday!  I am excited to be home on my maternity leave, but I'm also nervous for how I am going to be able to handle TWO!
Best moment this week:  I'm sure the quality time with my boys will be the best moment(s) this week! Although Ben is currently on hour #2 of his nap and I actually have time to blog during the day so that's pretty fabulous.  Oh, and there are flurries outside AND they started playing Christmas music on the radio!!!  My heart is so happy!  (And just for fun, the worst moment of the week: someone at Ben's  story time at the library this morning told me that I must be due any day now!  Sorry lady, 6 more weeks to go!)

And with that, I'm FINALLY up to date on my blogging!  Minus a few posts I've missed here and there.

33 Weeks

How far along? 33 weeks
Maternity clothes?  Yes!  And I swear my maternity pants are like 10 times tighter than they were last time, even though I'm about 5 pounds less than where I was at this time during my last pregnancy.  
Movement:  All the time!  I think I mentioned before that I will make my belly move and Ben thinks the baby is kicking and he loves it.  Well, joke's on me, Ben does that with his tummy too and says the baby is kicking.  He's on to me!
Sleep: Sleep is good.  I've been getting this odd groin pain on the right side at night, but it has only affected my sleep a few nights. 
Food cravings:  No.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  Feeling good! 
Labor signs: Braxton Hicks contractions on occasion.  
Exercise: It has been less frequent, but that is really because I have been staying up too late with work.  My presentation is DONE so I like to thing I will get back into my routine again.  
Miss anything? Not really.  A glass of wine would be nice.  
Looking forward to:  I know that Ben is looking forward to taking a train to Chicago this weekend, I'm sure Andy is looking forward to school ;), and I'm looking forward to a day all to myself!  What to do?! 
Best moment this week:  Just excited to meet Baby Fish #2!  

32 Weeks

How far along? 32 weeks
Maternity clothes?  Yes!Best moment this week:  We had a little scare of sorts this past week regarding baby's health, but it sounds like everything is OK.  I'm just trying to stay optimistic!  We had so, so, so much fun this past weekend doing our 5k and then Andy and I had fun on our little getaway.  Too much good stuff to stress about things that are out of my control!
Movement:  All the time!  He moves so much that I actually googled if it was possible for baby to move too much.  
Sleep: I still can't complain about the sleep, but if I do happen to wake up, I have trouble falling back to sleep.  
Food cravings:  No.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  Feeling good! 
Labor signs: Braxton Hicks contractions on occasion.  I think I had more my last pregnancy, or maybe it is just still early.     
Exercise: It has been less frequent, but that is really because I have been staying up too late with work.  I have to give a presentation on Wednesday, and since I'm not a huge fan of public speaking, I'll be relieved when that is done!
Miss anything? Not really.  
Looking forward to:  As mentioned above, I'm looking forward to that presentation being over!  I made a huge "to-do before baby #2" list so I'm excited to check things off!  I cannot wait to meet this little babe!!

31 Weeks

How far along? 31 weeks
Maternity clothes?  I'm primarily wearing this one skirt or maternity dresses.  I was finally convinced to cut the elastic waistband in a pair of my work pants and it was life changing!  Best moment this week:  Getting to watch Ben the bat in his little Halloween costume.  It took him awhile to get the hang of things, but once he realized that people just wanted to give him candy he was as happy as can be.  
Movement:  I love how much he moves!  It is so reassuring.  :)
Sleep: Sleep has been great.  I'm trying to get it when I can!
Food cravings:  No.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.  
Labor signs: A Braxton Hicks here and there   
Exercise: This wasn't my greatest week of working out.
Miss anything? Not really.  
Looking forward to:  Running/walking a race with my Benji boy!  The weather is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL!!  Oh, and then Andy and I get to relax at our favorite spa--we need it!

30 Weeks

How far along? 30 weeks
Maternity clothes?  Of course.  I primarily wear dresses because everything else is so tight it makes me uncomfortable.  I want to buy more things but I only have 10 weeks to go!!
Best moment this week:  I'm currently on a high tonight because Ben took 2 bites of chicken for the first time EVER!!  He was totally motivated by the playground at Chick-fil-a, but it worked!  He gagged a bit at first, but then it actually seemed like he liked it!  He was so excited to tell daddy.  Almost as excited as I was!  Of course, I had to document this historical moment with photos.  

Love how he contemplates it, then goes in for it while keeping his eye on the prize.

Miss anything? I do miss feeling comfortable in my clothes, but I really and truly cannot complain.  
Movement:  He is moving all of the time.  Sometimes he kicks so hard that I cannot believe he is only about 3 pounds right now.  
Sleep: I am still baffled that I do not have to get up in the night to go to the bathroom.  It is so nice!  I'm sleeping like a dream!  Having crazy dreams, but at least I'm sleeping well!
Food cravings:  Not really.  I'm not as ravenous as I was earlier in the pregnancy.  I don't have to do my midnight snack prevention program.  (I haven't for weeks!) 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really.  Just too much perfume.   
Labor signs: Braxton Hicks contractions every once and awhile.   
Exercise: I'm still running/walking.  I alternate every 0.25 miles.  I love it!  I'm doing a 5k next weekend!
Looking forward to:  I have another ultrasound next week that I am pretty excited about.  I cannot wait to meet this little boy!  I'm excited for the upcoming Halloween festivities at Ben's school this weekend too.  He is so excited to trick or treat, but I really don't think he knows just how much fun he is going to have.  :)

(Tried to tuck my shirt in but…)

29 Weeks

How far along? 29 weeks
Maternity clothes? Yes, and they seem to be getting smaller and smaller…  Hmmm…  I did get a winter coat from my cousin though and it is so comfy! 
Best moment this week:  Seeing ultrasound pictures!  It was just for a study (i.e. no doctors looking at them) but they said they would have stopped if they saw anything abnormal so I'm taking that as everything looks great!  And I cannot get over how much Baby Fish #2 looks like Ben!  I'm going to be one of those moms who can't tell her kids' baby pictures apart!  Can you tell who is who??

(That's Ben on the left and his baby brother on the right!)

Miss anything? My full lung capacity!  I don't remember feeling like this last time, but I better get used to it since I still have 11ish weeks to go!
Movement:  He is still moving a lot.  I may cheat a bit when Ben is trying to feel him kick, and I'll move my stomach so Ben thinks he feels the baby kicking.  He gets so excited about it.  I'm basically just exaggerating the kicks.  ;)
Sleep: I have had a few nights waking up at 4:00AM, but one time this was Ben's doing.  After I'm up at that time, I usually have a hard time falling back to sleep.  I did get almost 9 solid hours the other night though!
Food cravings:  I've been in to the sweets/candy lately.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really.  
Labor signs: Just those Braxton Hicks contractions every once and awhile, usually in the evenings.   
Exercise: I didn't make it to the gym that often this week for various reasons, but I ran/walk 3 miles today and it felt so good!
Looking forward to:  I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going.  I'm sure these next 11 weeks will continue to fly by!  There are so many things to look forward to, but for this week, I'll say I'm looking forward to all things Halloween!
