It has been a pretty long time since I wrote anything, so I thought I would share how the pregnancy is going...
Total weight gain/loss~This one area that I don't keep track of. Here is what I can tell you though, in the last six weeks I have not gained any weight and I estimate my total weight gain since finding out is somewhere between 15-20lbs. But my stomach continues to grow about an inch a week and the doctor is not concerned, so neither am I!
Maternity clothes~ Basically all I wear. There area few tanks that I can still wear underneath some things, but those are getting pretty streched out now. I actually just discovered that two pairs of my capris no longer fit (well they fit, just a little snug around the belly area) so I guess I am in need of new ones-guess I have to go shopping! I actually get away with quite a few sundresses that are not maternity but empire wasited, so it makes me feel a little better sometimes...
Stretch Marks~ Luckily and thankfully-none! My Mom is proud to report that she NEVER had stretch marks with me or my brother, so I am thinking that I will not have any either. But, I do put cocoa butter on twice a day-just in case!
Sleep~It's okay for the most part...I wake up about twice a night to use the bathroom, sometimes three times if I'm not sleeping well. I've been using a wedge pillow to put under my belly and it helps a lot and depending on how I'm sleeping that night I may put a throw pillow behind my back just in case I roll on to it, then I have some elevation (even though I sleep on 2-3 pillows each night depending on my indigestion!).
Movement~ Aiden is all over the place! I am starting to be able to pick out his "nap times" a little better and his movements aren't full blown kicks anymore, more like flips in my stomach! Hiccups are a daily occurance for us...although they kind of freak Daddy out a bit!
Food Cravings~ Still not really craving much. Its been very HOT here the last few weeks, so I have been drinking lots of water and having some ice cream at night. Watermelon is I guess the only thing I 'crave', not the running to the store at midnight craving but if its around, I could eat the whole thing!
Gender~ Baby boy!
Labor Signs~ NONE! Yeah!
Belly Button In or Out~ Its still 'in', but I have noticed a mole that I know wasn't there pre-pregnancy, (or at least in the last 3 years before I took my piercing out)...it will be getting removed after Aiden is born. So I guess it is poking out a little more than usual.
Weekly Wisdom~ Take a child birth class. I complained about having to take one but I'm glad that we are, even though Daddy could only go to two of the classes, it answered a lot of his questions.
Milestones~ Only 8 weeks left!
What I'm Looking Forward To~ My baby showers, we had our first this weekend and it was great! Oh and Friday~Daddy comes home on Friday (and then leaves again on Sunday, but Aiden and I are not focusing on that, just waiting patiently until Friday!)
