Symptoms? Headaches, frequent bathroom visits, and a MUCH bigger belly - wowza!!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 7 lbs. total ... 140.
Maternity clothes? Started wearing my belly bands (Steve bought me a black one and a white one) with a couple of my snugger pairs of jeans ... nothing compares to my yoga pants, though! I need to try those Pajama Jeans ... anyone know if those are comfy for pregnant women? :)
Food cravings: Chipotle burrito bowls, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, wheat toast with peanut butter, oranges, Honeycrisp apples, and no, I still cannot stop indulging in Oreos. One vice when you're pregnant isn't too bad, right?
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still don't wanna eat fish, but all other aversions are pretty much gone - yeah!
Stretch marks? Nope :)
Sleep: Sleeping great, when I'm not having weird pregnancy nightmares that make me talk in my sleep and wake up my husband. And I mean WEIRD ... I should start keeping a journal by the bed.
Best moment this week: Easy - seeing Baby Nielson for the very first time at our OB appointment on Halloween!!!
It was a truly amazing moment, although the gender is still a mystery ... sweet Baby was face down, curled up, legs crossed. Hoping to find out at our 20-week ultrasound on Thursday! (We'll post some of the 20-week US pics on the next blog update ... we only got a back/back-of-the-head shot, and one of the arms and legs this time.)
Have you told family and friends: Yep!
Miss Anything? Beer/margaritas/wine/alcohol, lunchmeat, my "skinny jeans", and stepping on the scale and hoping for a LOW number rather than a high one ... so strange!
Movement: Flutters, kicks, & rolls
Have you started to show yet: Woah yeah!
Gender prediction: I still say boy, even though Steve is more convinced than ever that it is a girl ... "There was no little white triangle on the ultrasound!" We also didn't get a good enough view to tell ... *sigh* :)
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? Innie
Wedding rings on or off? Both rings are comfortably on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy with a side of SUPER moody this weekend ... ugh.
Baby Stuff Purchased? None this week
Looking forward to: Our 20-week ultrasound on Thursday, when we'll get to see our little melon/heirloom tomato again, in more detail, and hopefully really find out the gender this time!
