    Ultimate Hospital Packing List and Dot&Dot Small Packing Cubes Review

    Yes, indeed… the time has finally come to start packing our bags and preparing for the arrival of Baby Bird! I know, I know, I can’t believe it either! I’m 35 weeks (and 1 day lol), and while I know for sure she won’t be here until probably at the VERY least 39 weeks (Boogie came at 39+3 and Bubby came at 40+1), I like being prepared ahead of time. I’m a procrastinator, so I knew that if for this, I put it off, it wouldn’t get done and I’d be hurrying to pack things while in labor. Frankly, I’m not okay with that. So I personally think 35 weeks…

    Baby Bird – 34 Weeks

    How far along? 34 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 12lbs gained (I was wrong last week… yikes) Maternity clothes? Yep, though even some of my maternity shirts are starting to not cover well. That grey shirt I wore as a pj shirt in the pic… it’s supposed to be maternity. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: Sleep…. oh sleep. I sleep okay I guess, I toss and turn a lot and my hips ache horribly… but I know it’ll only be LESS sleep once Bird is here! Best moment this week: We took some maternity photos this week, planning on going out again to get more with the kids next weekend, so I’ll post…

      How far along? 32 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 6lbs gained Maternity clothes? Yes, though this outfit is not. This is called… been a really long week and I’m staying in sweats! Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: Sleep? What’s sleep? Besides the fact that I’ve worried about my children and husband all week (I’ll talk about that in my next post) and that I’ve been having really bad hip pain… there hasn’t been much consistent sleep unfortunately. Best moment this week: Honestly, making it through the week has been the best.  Movement: This sweet girl is a constant mover… she loves to stretch and she really really stretches to the max. Food cravings: Nothing…

    Baby Bird – 30 Weeks

      How far along? 30 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 6lbs gained Maternity clothes? Yes, though this shirt and cardigan are not. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: Lots and lots of hip pain… started listening to my hypnobirthing tracks last night so at least I had an easier time getting to sleep! Best moment this week: Realizing that in about 10 weeks we will finally get to meet this sweet girl! Movement: She is moving a LOT, I’m really feeling her in my ribs now and I’m definitely thinking she’s head down… those little feet hurt! Food cravings: Citrusy fruits and tomatoes Gender: Girl! Labor signs: None. Belly button in or out? It’s pushed out… so…

    28 Weeks – Baby Bird

      How far along? 28 weeks Total weight gain/loss: Sitting at 3lbs Maternity clothes? Yep… and some shirts aren’t as long as they need to be… This one will need to be retired soon 🙁 Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: Some nights I have good long stretches of deep sleep, others I’m waking up constantly from nightmares and hip pain.  Best moment this week: Seeing Bird move all over my belly, she is getting SO strong! Movement: Bird moves a lot, this week, as I mentioned above, she’s been moving so much we can physically see her kicking and punching. She was up in my ribs during mine and J’s movie…
