39 Weeks Pregnancy Update {#3}

Well it’s been a long time since I last posted. I thought I might at least do one pregnancy update for this third child (#thirdchildproblems). Here goes nothing…


Gender: girl

Baby size: large, I actually feel like stomach wise,  I’m not as big this pregnancy as with Isaac. I’m hoping she’s not as big.

Weight gain: 30 lbs.

What’s different this pregnancy compared to the previous two? Not a whole lot, but a few “notable” ones include:

  • I can’t wear my wedding ring because it’s giving me a rash on my finger. It’s a bummer because my fingers aren’t swollen so it still fits.
  • Thankfully this pregnancy I really haven’t had much lower back pain which has been nice
  • I was more sick this pregnancy in the first trimester than the other two.
  • I have varicose veins only on my right leg. I’ve never had these before and I kinda had a freak out about it. My running compression calf sleeves help reduce the pain. Hopefully they go away once I’m done being pregnant because they look gross (yes I’m vain).
  • I’ve had nasal congestion this entire pregnancy.

Otherwise, this pregnancy has been very similar to the other two.

It’s been fun shopping for girl clothes. It’s a whole different world shopping for a girl. I’m actually glad a girl wasn’t my first child because I wouldn’t know where to start. At least now, I know what brands tend to fit our children, and which ones I like. When I go to garage sales and such I can be picky because girl clothes are abundant. Part of me though just wants to have her always in pink and wearing dresses.

Well hopefully we will come in the next week.
