I spent most of yesterday making truffles for my sister's wedding, getting my dressed steamed, and shopping with my mom, which why I am a day late updating my weekly progress, again.
Mom and I looked at dresses for the rehearsal dinner, at maternity clothes, and at two baby stores. Wow, talk about an overwhelming day! There is so much to look at and research - I picked up the most recent copy of Baby Bargains, which seems to be helpful on rating the different brands and when to spend the big bucks and when to skip the high dollar items.
In other news, I am done with the PE Exam (I hope). The exam was brutal, but I gave it my all and hope (and feel) that it is enough to pass. There were some questions that I could quickly answer, others that I knew exactly what to do and what equations to use, others that I had to read several times before I could gather my sense to begin to work the problem, and others which made me think "HOLY CRAP! What did I get into?!" Fortunately, there wasn't too many of those "holy crap" questions, but I still had to make an educated guess, and I hated not knowing what to do. There were other questions that I thought I knew how to work the problem, but when it came down to the answer I had and the answers I could choose from, there were none even remotely close. Oh well, it's behind me for now, and I'll hopefully know the results in 12 weeks.

Weight gain?: 1 lb gain this week for a total of 12 lbs.
Stretch marks?: No
Maternity clothes?: I continue to wear the "toddler jeans." every day. For shorts, I can still wear my hiking shorts since they fit low. Part of the shopping on Saturday included getting new maternity clothes - shorts and shirts. Mom was good at picking out clothes I would like - though there was one tank that she gave me that has me wondering what she was thinking! Overall, very good day (thanks Mom).
Sleep?: Still sleeping without any issues. It seems I am back to my pre pregnancy routine of going to bed at 10PM and feeling well rested that getting up at 4AM is no problem - I actually wake up at 3:30AM. Dreams are still CRAZY! But quite entertaining.
Best moment this week?: Being done with the PE...and shopping with mom.
Worst moment this week?: Taking the PE exam....haha, it was difficult, but really, I had a good week so I had to pick something that was bad...right?
Food cravings?: Nothing really.
Stretch marks?: No

I also started compiling my "To Do" List now that I have free time, so I am eager to get it started. So much to do, and so much time now. :)
