Well, here is my usual update:- but set up slightly different. I will be doing this once a week. :) I did this with Elijah, but I've changed it a bit.
How many Weeks: 12 Weeks :-)
Cravings: Pepsi, Sour Candy, and Chocolate! haha! Do I get these things? On rare occasion! Unless my bestie knows I needs them, then she will find a way to help me out. haha!
Weight Gain: still only two pounds according to light clothes, and my scale! In one week is my OB appointment, and I'll be 13 weeks so I will tell you what there mean scale says. ;)
Maternity Clothes:Still haven't gotten a chance to really buy any. My pants are bothering me, because of how low my uterus is right now, but I wear pj pants around the house when I don't go anywhere, and when I do go out, I have my awesome belly sleeve to helps the irritation.
Mood Swings: Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to be upbeat and positive lately. I've tried letting things roll off my back, and not lashing out at anyone. I'm definitely learning! I have my cry days, I'm just a super emotional person though, so my husband kinda expects it, and so does some of my friends.
Sleep: I have my nights. Last night my belly was cramping like period cramps, so I would roll to whatever side I wasn't on, and it was ease up for a bit. But I think it's just that I haven't had much water. I am trying to train myself to not sleep on my back- it's so hard!! sleeping on my back is amazing. And before I got pregnant I started enjoying sleeping on my tummy, so I can't do that now. :/ but it will all be worth it in the end.
Movement: Sometimes I think I feel something, but I second guess myself, and I'm like it might be a gas bubble. But the other day I felt a small thump,thump,thump,thump then when I looked down at my belly and touched where I felt it, it stopped! So, I don't know. :/ but I can't wait til I can feel big movements like I did with Elijah!
Weekly Wisdom: Well, I'm trying to eat healthy and watch my weight, not because I'm scared to get fat but because I don't want to gain as much as I did with Elijah. So, I would say eat healthy, exercise, which I do. I walk a little over 2 miles every other day, and now I'm working out by dancing. But after you are done, make sure you drink water, and put your feet up. I had horrible swelling with Elijah, and the doctors don't want it to happen again, so I'm drinking a lot of water, and watching my sodium intake, at least trying to.
Gender: 99% sure it's a girl. God has a weird way of telling us. But the closer we get to ultrasound day, I'll let you all take a guess. :))
Labor Signs: Heck no! Just trying to enjoy this part :-)
Best Moment this week: Matthew got the day before Valentines day off, because of bad weather conditions. So, it was nice to have him home. Also, my mom is planning me a baby shower for when we go home in May! We talked about it today, which made my day!
Belly Button, Innie or Outtie: Innie ;-P
What I miss: I don't miss being tired! I didn't have bad morning sickness this go around. But my energy levels have been awful! But for a week, maybe longer I've had great energy levels, I've been in a great mood!
Milestone: My milestone for this week is that I've simply made it! I'm just glad to have made it this far. Miscarriages seem to run in Matthew's family and mine :/ So, here's to another week :)
Next Appointment: Feb 22, 2012 at 11 am, with my favorite midwife, and we will hear the heartbeat, and try to record it! :-) If we get to record it, I'll post the video!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Since I didn't have bad morning sickness, I guess it took all my energy instead. Also, my hair won't stop falling out! I took a bath tonight and washed my hair and it's falling out like I'm going to go bald next week. I didn't have this problem with Elijah! My face is still a pizza face. I have tried a face scrub, and I clean my makeup off at the end of the day- of the days I actually wear makeup, so I have one more thing I'm going to try, and I'll ask my midwife at my next appointment! We will hear the Hootie Hoot's heartbeat on next Wednesday! I had to call them because I couldn't remember what time my next appointment was- it's a good thing I called. They had no record of my appointment, and had to make me another one. So, needless to say I was pretty upset, because we were going to have a 9 or 930 appointment so Matthew wouldn't have to rush when we got home to get ready for work, but now he will have too. No big deal for him though- he's just ready to hear the baby's Heartbeat.
strange reason she is a he, then we might need help with a name. I only have middle name, which is Noah. But, that's if we need it.
Good night Everyone! :-) Have a great night :-)
My hair fell out too! and it still does a little, from nursing. my face broke out too with Ad!! but it definitely calmed down in the 2nd trimester, thankfully!!! love these preg updates! :) :)
ReplyDeleteMine didn't fall out with Elijah. My face broke out with him but my hair us coming out like crazy, I hate it. It usually falls out without me being pregnant. So glad I'm doing these again! :-)
