Gender: Unknown
Weight gain: 3 lb.
Maternity clothes: The clothes that were tight fitting before pregnancy no longer button. Dresses are the most comfortable thing with the bloat. I keep telling myself my blood cells are multiplying, my uterus has doubled in size and I am retaining water, but for someone who was always weight conscious – it’s hard to not feel uncomfortable. My sister bought me a dress for the winter when I have a bump.
Baby related purchases: Nothing new.
Baby Gifts: My sister bought us two onesies and a few baby toys.
Sleep: I am exhausted feeling ALL.THE.TIME. I am falling asleep much earlier than usual but once I wake up to pee (around 3 every night) I am having a hard time falling back to sleep. I am also much hotter when I sleep than I am used to.
Best moment this week: Finding out my bestie, Nikki, is also expecting! Her due date is about 3 weeks later than mine. I am so excited to share this with her.
Worst moment this week: Not pregnancy related, but hearing my nephew Joseph was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma was the hardest part of this week… year… ever. My emotions are a little higher than usual so I am having a harder time coping with the news. We are praying hard for him to fight this and come out on top!
Miss anything: Beer, still… and sushi.
Movement: Nada.
Cravings: Salad still, and cheese of any kind… cream cheese, pizza with cheese, mac and cheese, cheese steak, cheese on my salad. Fighting the urge to eat those unhealthy items are harder than you’d imagine. And ice cream. I think with the new found hot flashes, ice cream is a welcomed relief. Every night after dinner I am reaching for an ice cream sandwich or heading to get soft serve.
Queasy or sick: Nothing too bad. If I eat badly, my stomach disagrees but that’s all. Hoping that sticks.
Looking forward to: Our 1st doctor’s appointment tomorrow!
Symptoms: Thirst and frequent peeing. Exhaustion. And a few break outs.
