Total weight gain/loss: Before Florida I had a Doctor's apt and I was 141. I have gained 6lbs. After Florida, I'm not sure, but its gotta be more than that now...
Maternity clothes: I soo need to go buy some. I don't know why I haven't... I wore this comfy skirt the majority of the trip and I want to wear it here, but it might be too cold to wear a skirt...
Stretch marks: None yet. At least none that I can see....
Sleep: I have been struggling in this department. I'm exhausted, that's not the problem... I'm a back sleeper. I LOVE sleeping on my back. Sadly that is not allowed when you are pregnant. I fall asleep on my side and wake up on my back. Or if I do wake up on my side, its cause my hip and leg feel like I can't move them. Michael has to massage my bum-bum, otherwise I walk funny all day... (Yes I am planning to go to our family chiropractor... He is pretty much awesome)
Best Moment this week: (Best Moment Last Week: FINDING OUT IT'S A GIRL!) Last Night I got to hang out with Michael's Family. If you guys don't know, The Hilsabecks are all freakishly awesome. Michael's Mom made the best spaghetti last night and I seriously had a spaghetti mountain on my plate and I ate the whole thing. Rachael was in town and I got to see her boys. I can't believe how BIG they are getting. Plus it was Cristopher's last night... So it was just fun being with the Fam.
Movement: Ok, so I'm totally eager to feel something, so I don't know if I'm feeling Izzy or if its just my food digesting. (Lets face it, I have been eating a lot lately...) I can't wait til I can be like, "Oh yeah, that was definitely Izzy!"
Food cravings: So this is kinda embarrassing, but everything at this point is a food craving. Esp. when I'm stuck at work, and someone mentions food.... Anything. Even when I'm eating, and someone mentions some other kind of meal... I get food jealous.... (yeah... I don't blame you if you don't want to eat with me...)
Aversions: Re-fried beans still. Ground beef is still a little scary, but I had it last night in my spaghetti, and I was ok, soo...
Gender: GIRL! Its totally crazy... Let the shopping begin! woot woot!
What I miss: Sleeping on my back. Florida.
Milestones: I'm at the point where I need maternity clothes. I can still fit into my shirts, but pants wise, everything is uncomfortable.... I'm not complaining too much about this. Some random girl at Wal-mart asked me if I knew what I was having! She knew I wasn't just fat! It made my night! I will be having my 20 week ultra-sound this Friday! I'm sooo excited to see Izzy again, but at the same time I'm sooo nervous about all the things I'm going to be finding out... Wish me luck!
Extra: I love food. And lately every meal is like thanksgiving! I'm sooo not complaining about this. In fact I'm amazed at how much I can eat without feeling like I'm full! This little girl and I both LOVE food. (finally!) I love that we both love that. Yay for food!
oh man! imagine what REAL thanksgiving is going to be like!
ReplyDeletei'm naughty and sleep on my back all the time. I even sometimes still sleep on my tummy-ish (you know, on my belly, but with one leg up, so i'm kinda on my side). I figure as long as baby isn't complaining, and my legs aren't going numb, it's fine. And that's my professional opinion.
I agree with Sarah, I think your fine sleeping on your back. The baby definitely isn't big enough for it to make a difference, and when it becomes uncomfortable, then stop. For me, and having back pain, sleeping on my back, with it straight, totally helps. Yay for food! Eat it up sister!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard about not sleeping on your back while pregnant. I slept on my back all the time and never had a problem. I love your little updates! It is nice to see what is going on with you since I have been such a bad friend lately and have not called or hung out with you. LOL
ReplyDeleteBy the way.... I LOVE THE NAME LIZZY! I am so excited for you. I am defenitely partial to girls. LOL Let me know if you need anything!
I just realized I wrote LIZZY and not IZZY!
ReplyDeleteSee what a bad friend I am! LOL
I LOVE THE NAME IZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So...I don't know what your doctor has told you about sleeping on your back...but I thought you weren't allowed once you hit the second trimester and so I was trying anything any everything to sleep and i mentioned it to my doctor and she said I could sleep on my back until I was 28 weeks, third trimester. So I would ask your doctor to see what he says. Also I do what someone else had mentioned partial side stomach with one leg up, and I have to put a pillow in between my legs it helps a lot to get comfortable. Anyway long spill about sleeping but whatever works. Your little baby cump is getting bigger and so cute!! I love the name it's super cute, lucky you guys found one you agreed on so quickly, i'm jealous :D
ReplyDeletei meant baby bump oops sorry :D
ReplyDeleteMolly, I love your updates, they are so fun! I can't believe I haven't seen you since you have been pregnant. I miss you Molly!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love hearing about your baby updates!
