32 Weeks

Okay..I knew it was bad, but 11 weeks? Holy Moly...I've got some updating to do!

Let's start with the pics...

Yeah...I've slacked on that too. but seriously, I don't see a big difference.  I feel like a grew fast and early and now it's just kind of been a slow growth since then.

How far along? 32w4d

Maternity clothes?  Of course...although I'm not enjoying my mat clothes as much as I did last time. I am all about comfort and at home wear as little as possible!

Feeling: I feel like I kind of went through a rough patch where I was kind of grumpy all the time, but I think I've got a little more energy back.  Overall the RLP/sciatica is still there (the main problem I think being that I have not been very active!) But I think the Chiro/Massage care I've been getting has made a huge difference.

Sleep: Most of the time not too bad.  I'm up once usually for the bathroom. Some nights I've had trouble getting back to sleep, but once I get settled I'm good to go.

Food cravings or aversions: Weird...I only really like to eat during the day. I have no interest in supper. I sometimes try to eat something before bed so I'm not starving, but I'm just really losing my appetite.

Best moment this week:  Lyla slept in her crib with the side taken off ( toddler bed! ) and she's been doing fantastic.  She's such a great little sleeper, I'm so excited to move her to her big girl room once it's ready to go.

Movement: Yep...and starting to hurt now and then. 

Gender:  team green!

Labor Signs: n/a

What I miss:  Being able to keep up with Lyla, I feel like she gets bored with me pretty quickly because I usually just want to put my feet up.

What I’m nervous about:  Doing okay right now.

What I am looking forward to this week: The weekend. I have Dr. appointments tomorrow so I'm taking the Friday off, and enjoying a long weekend!

Milestones & new this week  1 Month left of work...and less than 2 months until my due date! Crazy!

21w 3d

How far along? 21w3d

Maternity clothes?  Yep...last week for this question, seems a little silly now.

Feeling: Feeling pretty good this week. Have a massage and chiro appointment today..that should make me feel even better.

17w

How far along? 17w13...oops falling behind on this one!

Total weight gain:  I'm guessing about 10lbs

Maternity clothes?  yep, that's a given...probably can get rid of this question now :)

Feeling: Pretty good most of the time, still get a little tired here and there. Part of that is because getting comfortable is getting tougher.

Sleep: Pretty good, just need to figure out the right pillow configuration!

Food cravings or aversions: Nope, nothing too serious...still loving my chocolate milk!

Best moment this week:  The best moment is going to be when I get home today! I finally called a cleaning service...I'm so excited to go home to a clean house!  Also swimming with the family on Sunday. Felt so great!

This weeks bump pic: Still feeling 'thick'..not so much pregnant.

13w

How far along? 13w1d

Total weight gain: I think I'm going to go by my home scale, because it's a lot different than the Dr.'s, (6lbs!), and that is the one I've been using since the start...sooo 1st tri weight gain = 5lbs

Maternity clothes? Yeah, but so annoying that a lot of the shirts are so big, trying to find a happy medium.

Feeling: Much better! Yay. Still enjoying my sleep though...last night was another 8pm bedtime!

Sleep: Most of the time it's been great.

Food cravings or aversions:  Hasn't been an issue this week.  Now that the nausea has past it's time to start getting back on the healthy eating train though!

Best moment this week: Meeting my new nephew!! So cute! AND I heard the heart beat on Wednesday, that was awesome!

Movement: I swear I have felt something a couple of times...weird!

Gender: ?

Labor Signs: n/a

What I miss: Not much right now.

What I’m nervous about:  I'm feeling pretty settled right now.

What I am looking forward to this week: Trying to get caught up at work and home...being exhausted all the time is tough on the schedule.

Milestones & new this week  Entering the 2nd tri! woohoo!  and, I believe baby is the size of a peach..lol

10w

How far along? 10w1d

Total weight gain: Few lbs, not sure

Maternity clothes? Yeah, and I'm feeling really frumpy, that annoying 'thick' look.

Feeling: Still yucky, I'm hoping and praying that 12 weeks will bring back some energy, I feel so mopey most of the time, getting frustrating.

Sleep: more would be good :(

Food cravings or aversions:  Nothing really, just random how one moment something sounds good, and the next ...yuck.

Best moment this week: nothing too exciting.

Movement: Nope

Gender: ?

Labor Signs: n/a

What I miss: enjoying getting dressed, and I really wanted a glass of red wine this weekend.

What I’m nervous about:  Having to go stay with the inlaws this weekend. I'd rather mope in my own house!

What I am looking forward to this week: hoping that everyday I'll feel a little better, and hopefully start getting some exercise in!

Milestones & new this week: Baby is the size of a prune! I'll be going to get blood work, make sure everything is on track.

Other updates?  Just have a chiro appointment this week, that usually makes me feel better. Trying really hard to get meals better organized. when I eat healthier I usually feel better overall.  That's about it!

8w

How far along? 8w2d..hard to believe

Total weight gain: not really paying attention

Maternity clothes? pants? yep, I'm sure I could button my regular pants but it's so uncomfortable.

Feeling: This is kind of day to day/hour to hour.  I do think the diclectin is working, and I haven't been as spacey as I was last week, but still there are moments when I just want to go lie down throughout the day.

Sleep: Better, just never enough of it.

Food cravings or aversions:  Nothing in particular.  I've been drinking lots of chocolate milk, but I think that's just because I want to ! lol

Best moment this week: Telling my Mom, it's nice to be able to talk to her about things.

Movement: nope

Gender: ?

Labor Signs: Thankfully no

What I miss: Having the energy to keep up with Lyla

What I’m nervous about:  Dealing with all of our family this weekend.

What I am looking forward to this week: Lyla's birthday party! I can't believe she is going to be 2!

Milestones & new this week: I think we are now at the size of a raspberry...nothing else too exciting.

 In general I'm just kind of dopey.  I would love to just kind of sit around the house all day napping and snacking as I please.  Mornings, the getting up part have been tough. And I'm finding the afternoons at work really long. I've been trying to find reasons to get out of the office. I find if I'm busy and doing things it's not as bad.

7w...oops

How far along? 7 weeks...yep, missed week 6, it was pretty nasty!

Total weight gain: Honestly? No idea

Maternity clothes? Nothing fits, it's ridiculous. But I haven't pulled out the 'stretchy pants' just yet.

Feeling: Pretty yucky.  Not actually getting sick, thankfully, but exhausted..and just yucky.

Sleep: Annoyingly bad!  I go to bed because I'm SO tired and then I can't get to sleep.

Food cravings or aversions:  Nothing really.

Best moment this week: Told a few people, nice to have people IRL to talk to.

Movement:Nope

Gender: ??

Labor Signs: n/a

What I miss: Not much.

What I’m nervous about:  Dealing with m/s and a VERY active toddler!

What I am looking forward to this week: Just moving along

Milestones & new this week: Baby is the size of a blueberry. I think there are hands and feet forming in there!

So a general update on last week. Lyla got the flu...yuck, not fun.  Then m/s hit me...also not fun. I was only in my office 1 day and could barely keep my eyes open.  Napped forever but still didn't feel any better.  Did start on diclectin, which I guess is keeping me from getting sick, but it's surely not helping with the exhaustion.  I have had a moment or two of energy, but I'm just overall blah this week.

So positive! lol Really not that bad, thankful I'm not sick like I was last time (yet). Going to work really hard at squeezing some walks in this week!

5w

How far along? 5 weeks

Total weight gain: Still floating around normal...although the way I'm eating today...who knows!

Maternity clothes? Nope, surprisingly not to uncomfortable.

Feeling: Okay...feeling the fatigue/nausea here and there.

Sleep: Okay

Food cravings or aversions:  Just general, really hungry, then super full etc.

Best moment this week: Nothing too spectacular.

Movement:Nope

Gender: ??

Labor Signs: n/a

What I miss: Not much.

What I’m nervous about:  Dealing with m/s and a VERY active toddler!

What I am looking forward to this week: Just moving along

Milestones & new this week: Baby is the size of an apple seed! I'll likely get in to see my Dr. this week.

I don't really love this format for my weekly updates, so I think I'm going to have to come up with something a little more exciting for next week!
