Total weight gain/loss: I have not weighed myself. I honestly don't want to know. At my last Dr. Apt I was 147 (and I'm positive I have gained since...)(Sigh... heaviest I have ever been... Not thinking about it, not thinking about it...)
Maternity clothes: Yes! I LOVE my maternity jeans. So very comfy... Why don't they make all jeans like these? And the best part... I have them for thanksgiving! I can just eat and eat and eat without any discomfort! :)
Stretch marks: None yet. Lotion Lotion Lotion... (even tho stretch marks I hear are genetic..?)
Sleep: So I finally got over my fear of waking up and sleeping on my back. (Thanks to all your comments!) Since I have relaxed about it, I now sleep on my side. Who knew...? AND I have been having some funny/crazy dreams... probably one of my favorite parts about being pregnant. Its like living a movie every night...
Best Moment this week: Wednesday Definitely.... Putting up my Christmas tree was cool too! I love love love Christmas 10x more now that I'm married. I don't know why, but it just seems more Jolly! (haha!) Last Night I got to hang out with my family at Kristen's Graduation party! (Congrats Kristen!) I really enjoy my brothers and my sister, just hanging out with them is fun. (I'm sure if my 10 year old self heard me say that, I wouldn't believe me...)
ps. MY BABY BEDDING JUST CAME! I will post pictures ASAP!
Movement: SO... Saturday night we were hanging out at Leah's House watching BJ Penn dominate, and while the fights were on, Izzy gave me a good kick! Enough that Michael BARELY felt her. It was awesome... (Hopefully this doesn't mean that she will become a cage fighter)
Food cravings: FOOD! Mmmm.... Love it. Sadly I have become a little gag-y lately on some of the things I eat. If I just eat it and don't look at it, I'm fine. If I look at it I'm fine, but I will have to stop eating it... Its all mental. So frustrating... (and I'm sure Michael isn't liking the relapse...) Ps. Hot dogs are sooo yummy. I think I could be down for a hot dog any time of the day... (I sorta liked hot dogs before I was pregnant, but not like this, I LOVE them now...)
Aversions: Re-fried beans still. Ground beef is still a little scary. We made spaghetti yesterday and Michael had to make the ground beef... I know, I'm a total wimp. Sadly I didn't even touch the beef. But the Spaghetti turned out yummy!
Gender: GIRL! Umm.. woot woot for girls!
What I miss: Hahaha, Umm... Well.... Lately, when I'm laying down, it has gotten hard to move. I totally feel like a beached whale. I know, I know, I'm only half way... I'm actually surprised that I already feel like this. I have never had a hard time rolling over or getting up or moving around when laying on my back. Its kinda sad. (In a funny way)
Milestones: I'M HALF WAY!!!! If that is not a milestone I don't know what is! And I'm definitely showing. I'm no longer in the category of "Is she fat or pregnant!?" (thankgoodness!)
Extra: Thanksgiving is this week! I cannot tell you how excited this makes me feel! Just the thought of gravy and turkey and cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes.... YUMMY!
You look great! I can't believe you are half way there already. I can't wait to see what crib bedding you chose. We need to get together soon!
ReplyDeleteprobably part of feeling like a beached whale is because of your abs not working as well anymore. very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteYou are still looking really cute! I am so excited that you are having a girl too! Girls are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteThose little kicks don't last too long, they are going to get bigger and bigger!
your tummy is still so tiny...so cute. I am glad it's only beef for you.. I couldn't touch any raw meet, good thing we lived with my parents at the time of all the sickness. I couldn't touch it, or look at it till it was cooked. And it's funny you crave hot dogs, I crave corn dogs, I never really ate them before I got prego then it just sounded good all the time! So funny the things you start to crave. The dreams get better, i have the craziest dreams in the world and I remember them that is the crazy part, it's great!! I can't wait to see pictures of your nursery it's so much fun!!
