How far along? 20 Weeks.....ohhhhhhh we're halfway there ohhhhh oh
Total weight gain: 8 lbs
Maternity clothes? a few stretchy dresses from target. I feel self conscious about dressing this new body of mine so I found some great options for before and after baby on a budget.
Stretch marks? so far so good... using Mustela Maternity Stretch Mark Prevention Oil which all spilled out into a zip lock bag on the way back from our trip😂
Sleep: Sleeping good!.... Finally got a pregnancy pillow.... Game changer with keeping my hips aligned .
Best moment this week: Turks and Caicos.... stealing a few dates with my husband and being stress free for a few days... needed it. Now we have been back for over a week and it is hard to play catch up at work and house things but trying to stay afloat.
Miss Anything? Rum! my favorite type of alcohol... especially in Turks and Caicos... every drink offered is a rum drink and EVERYONE is drinking them.... meh. I had a "Mocktail" it made me feel a little better
Movement: ......as of yesterday YES.
Food cravings:. food in general.... really hungry all the time.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week that I noticed.
Gender: BOY
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Feeling good... bigger but good. Accepting my new body... feeling more feminine. Waking up to a bigger belly everyday. Knock on wood but besides severe fatigue in the very beginning I haven't had many issues. Seeing my OB convos go like this "Hi, Bye". Not going back for 6 more weeks to do the glucose test.
Belly Button in or out? flat... not so deep anymore.
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy... I have my moments. Having strep throat 2 weeks ago was really freaking awful. Haven't had strep throat since I was in middle school and of course it happens when Im pregnant and can't drown myself in cold drugs. But I did ask for lidocaine(safe) to gargle to help with the knife like pain ripping down my throat every time I swallowed. Overall glad to be trying to get back into a workout routine and looking forward to a few more summer trips ahead.
Looking forward to: Well I am halfway there so I guess it is time to start working on this nursery. I'm thinking closer to July once traveling and other house projects slow down.
