This week: 16 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I will let you know after my appointment next week!
Sleep: No good. I went to Phoenix this past weekend and there was a three hour time change so I think that messed up my clock a bit. I slept fine while I was there but since I've been home I've had some insomnia. Hopefully this passes quickly! I love my sleep!
Best moment of the week: I might have felt the baby move as we were ascending into the sky in the plane on my way to Phoenix. It could have just been nerves though because I was feeling a little jumpy about flying since my doctor suggested that I not fly while pregnant. (I obviously did not heed her advice and am glad I didn't because I was just fine and had a great much needed restful time in Phoenix.)
Movement: Since that little possible occurrence on the plane, I haven't felt anything yet and really wish I would because I think that will be so exciting!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular lately.
Gender: Still don't know yet!
What I miss: Fitting in my clothes. Everything is definitely fitting tighter and some stuff doesn't fit at all anymore. And pregnancy clothes are still much too big, at least with pants. Pants are a definite issue right now. Bummer.
What I am looking forward to: Actually having a real baby bump, instead of just looking like I overdid it on the donuts and nachos!
Weekly wisdom: I want to remember this so although it's not pregnancy advice, it's good parenting advice... "Say yes often but when you say no, mean it." My mom told me that was something my Big Papa (great grandpa) told her when she was either pregnant or we were little and I really liked that.
Milestones: We have an avocado now! Our little baby is about 4.5 inches long and 3.5 ounces and he's getting ready to have a growth spurt. Woo hoo!
I'm going to try to chronicle as much of this pregnancy as possible on here. Obviously I haven't said anything about it so far but that is hopefully about to change. Up to this point, everything has been surreal and hard to believe that I am actually caring a little baby in my tummy! Now that I'm in the second trimester though, things have started to change and I'm feeling more excited and somewhat more pregnant so the chronicle begins...
This week: 15 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: This is hard to say exactly because I got pregnant during the holiday season and that means I was eating more junk anyways during that time, which means that I probably put on a few pounds pre-pregnancy. But if we go with where I tend to hover around, then the total gain so far (as of my last appointment because I refuse to weigh myself at home) is between 5-10 pounds.
Sleep: Lately it's been harder to find a comfortable position to sleep in because I am a back sleeper. So I toss and turn from side to side which means I wake up a lot. I also always wake up to pee at least once every night.
Best moment of the week: Last weekend DJ and I went to a kids consignment sale and bought a bunch of little gender neutral onesies and outfits and came away with some great deals! We also got a few of our favorite children's books that we had growing up.
Movement: I haven't felt anything yet.
Food cravings: These change from week to week, or even sometimes day to day, but as soon as I satisfy the craving once or twice, I usually don't care to eat that food again. I craved Icees, Frappucinos, and homemade granola over the past week.
Gender: ?? So far the consensus is a boy, which is the way I'm leaning.
What I miss: The freedom to just do something without thinking about whether I can first. Every decision requires a moment to consider if it's healthy/safe while pregnant.
What I am looking forward to: Cuddling with my little baby that I am imagining will have a full head of hair and plenty of cuddly rolls.
Weekly wisdom: The wisdom I tend to get from just about everyone these days is to take time to relax, which I have done plenty of, but now my wisdom for myself is to start taking daily walks and watching less tv which makes me more productive around the house.
Milestones: The baby is the size of an apple!
