Size of baby: coconut
Total weight gain/loss: +16 lbs
Sleep: Sleeping well minus my many trips to the bathroom!
Exercise: I decided a couple of weeks ago to change up my exercise routine and do some weighted workouts at home. The last few times I attempted to run it was just too uncomfortable for my bladder. That became the only thing I could think about while I was running and it just was not enjoyable. So now I'm walking when the weather is nice and doing a 30 minute workout with weights 4 times a week.
Cravings/Aversions: GIMME ALL THE SALADS!! Otherwise my appetite has been kind of suppressed lately. Not really hungry for much of anything and nothing sounds great.
Movement: Feel kicks and thumps all day and all night! Truly a feeling that never gets old.
Labor signs/symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions have started... I feel them just about every day but they pass quickly.
Best moment: Hitting the halfway point! Woohoo!
Looking forward to: the holidays :) Enjoying Thanksgiving and Christmas for the last time as a family of four.
What I miss/What I'm loving: Not missing much right now other than running, energy, and not having to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes. :) I love that we've chosen a name for our baby boy... Judah Kendale Brannan.
Judah means “praise” and we pray that he will live his life to the “praise of God’s glorious grace.” Kendale is both Ryan’s and his dad’s middle name, men after God’s own heart. I pray that Judah grows up to be loving, kind, tender-hearted, and passionate about God’s Word just like his Daddy and his Papa. We cannot wait until March to put a precious face with his name!
“She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, ‘This time I will praise the Lord.’ So she named him Judah.” [Genesis 29:35]
