How big is the peanut? Casey's app says eggplant, mine says cucumber.
Total weight gain/loss? Healthy gain 😁
Maternity clothes? It's not maternity, but I did buy two pretty fall color cardigans and I feel better about life.
Sleep? The interruptions have begun again.
Best moment this week? Passing my glucose test. Hallelujah.
Symptoms? Well, turns out I have iron deficiency anemia, oh boy. So I get to take an iron supplement twice a day. That explains Some fatigue and fast heartbeat :) Praying that the iron doesn't make me sick like it did in the prenatal vitamin first trimester. We'll see!
Food cravings? Pumpkin spice... Ooh wait, that's just normal. Ice cold water still. This week, citrus. I dunno.
Food aversions? Fatty, greasy, fried stuff.
Gender? Grandma Pam finally knows! What a relief! Grandpa Marty still wants to be surprised in December, so keep it quiet with him. His lack of Facebook presence should help.
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? Neither?
What I miss? Sleeping on my back.
What I'm looking forward to? Shower fun.
Milestones? Depending on your source, we're now in the 3rd trimester 😮

How big is the peanut? Casey's app said cauliflower, mine said eggplant. Mmm... That sounds good.
Total weight gain/loss? Healthy gain 😁
Maternity clothes? Target is amazing. They're the only ones who make maternity pants that have elastic built into the sides versus those terrible elastic things that are supposed to cover your whole stomach and suffocate you in the process 😂
Sleep? Body pillow is legit.
Best moment this week? Wal-Mart baby clothes clearance section. The cuteness!
Symptoms? I think that whole going back to not feeling great in the third trimester it's real. Haven't felt great last couple days. Third trimester is upon us.
Food cravings? I'm undecided as yet whether it's providential our terrible that Wendy's is running their $0.50 frosty promo right now. Cold creamy things and fresh tasting things are what I want right. Also ICE COLD water.
Food aversions? Still not smart to eat fried/greasy food. One day, bojs, one day.
Gender? Still a secret for Grandma and Grandpa Wase, so shhh...
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? Another week and we might be out. Weird.
What I miss? Sleeping on my back and not aching 😊
What I'm looking forward to? Seeing that face in person! Getting glucose test over this week.
Milestones? Think we're settled on a name. But we're not telling. Sorry.
Bump?

How big is the peanut? The size of a scallion (length wise I'm guessing), or a chuck roast 😂
Total weight gain/loss? Gain. We'll leave it there.
Maternity clothes? Between 2 friends' loans and a couple shopping trips I can now happily report I have clothes that fit :)
Sleep? Been using the body pillow Kelly loaned me. It's interesting. I think I like it.
Best moment this week? Casey and I picked out a few outfits for baby. First things we've specifically bought for this little one.
