Maternity clothes? It feels like I have a very limited selection of clothes... I am glad it is warming up outside
Stretch marks?
Still looking good!
Sleep: not bad for the most part just getting up to pee
Best moment this week: Visiting with family and friends. Celebrating Neil`s bday... he was lucky the LO didn`t make an appearance and steal his day ;) Put together his swing and a few toys etc. The nursery is looking really good!!
Miss Anything? Being comfortable
Movement: strong movements.. his bum pushes out to the right side of my stomach making me lopsided.. lol so cute

Anything making you queasy or sick: not much and still no heartburn!
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: 
more Braxton hicks. I got a membrane sweep on wednesday.. which surprisingly didn`t hurt (I heard it can be very painful) but nooo baby :( On the plus side I am starting to dilate and cervix is softening up so things are happening. Going to start doubling up on my Raspberry leaf tea! Also trying to keep active and moving around.
