Total Weight Gain: 12 lbs!
Ah!
Stretch Marks: None
Showing:
Definitely! Coming back from Christmas break, many people at work are
commenting, “Ok you look pregnant now!” Ha.
Movement: Felt her
move for the first time yesterday! I was sitting in a chair watching TV with
Donovan and my sister and I felt this weird bubble right below my belly button,
but deeper in. Then I felt it again, and I was sure it was a roll or
summersault of some sort! So cool. Haven’t felt it since but I am paying
attention!
Feeling: Great. J
Cravings: Clementines
like crazy, and watermelon.
Symptoms: Just a
growing belly!
Missing: Summer
time…
Looking Forward to: Completing
the nursery! Walls are painted, just waiting on the crib.
Sleep: Sleeping
well but I am starting to get woken up in the middle of the night feeling
uncomfortable. I sleep on my stomach and have been dreading the day where I
can’t anymore! So far its still ok, as long as I change positions frequently.
Exercise: Feeling
energetic in the gym still, but I am starting to drop my weights even more. I
dropped them much lower after the 1st trimester and have stayed
there steadily since, but Its like I can feel a stretching in my lower abdomen
now at all times and its causing me to be much more aware of the straining in
my body. I am focusing on low weight and high reps.
Eating: I have
been a lot hungrier all of a sudden this week! I eat 6 times a day, every 3
hours, but I have been getting hungry only about an hour and a half after I
eat, so Ive obviously been eating more. I hear that between 16-18 weeks the
baby has a growth spirt, so that would explain the hunger and seemingly rapid
growth since Christmas! Haven’t had much indigestion since last week, so that’s
good!
Thoughts this week: Living in
maternity jeans! All of my regular clothes are tight on me now – I am starting
to feel the need to expand my wardrobe further. I honestly thought Id be able
to wear almost all of my clothes at least through 7 months, but that’s definitely
not happening! Even my ‘baggy’ sweater dress hugs my body.
The nursery in progress! Donovan painted and added the molding. I am loving the color!
I still remember the exact moment I felt you move! I will never forget that, this is such a beautiful experience watching you go through this. You are an angel of a daughter and you will be an angel of a mother, I am so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteGet a Belly Band from Target - it'll expand your regular wardrobe more :) Also ON has the BEST maternity clothes; fairly cheap, cute, and super comfy!
ReplyDeleteJes I have one of those! However I wear pretty form fitting jeans, so the weight Ive gained in my thighs and butt makes them very uncomfortable all over… :/ I was able to use the belly band for about a month though! And I have 1 pair of jeans they still work on! :) Thanks for the maternity cloths suggestion, Ill check it out!
DeleteThanks mama. <3
