*I am putting my due date down as Feb 24th even though the docs still insist on it being March 1st. (only 5 days difference) but I already have my countdown and app set for the 24th. So my exact day or week pregnant is approximate. Not that you can be exactly sure anyway. *
So here are 13 questions that I will answer, unless there is something you are wanting to know or be updated on that is not on this list and I could add it to it.
Taken just prior to posting this. So you can see not much of a baby bump. |
How far along? *18 Weeks.
Total weight gain/loss? I loss 13 to start with and I have now gained 11 of that back. I am almost to my pre-pregnancy weight. I am currently 118 pounds.
Maternity clothes? Nope, I think I am far from it. But we will see.
Stretch marks? Nope, I feel like I will never start showing to the outside world.
Sleep? Depends on the day and if I take a pill or not. My nausea pills make me so tired. It also depends on how many times Skyeler wakes me up in the early mornings while getting ready for PT, School, or if he has a CQ shift in the middle of the night. He will either wake me up 2-4 times a night. Not including the "Skyeler.... You need to move over" because we are sleeping on a full sized bed and my pillows need space. Na, actually I feel like I am always on the edge of the bed and to me it seems like he has more space on his side than I do on mine.
Best moment last week? By far is feeling the baby move for the first time!!! Plus having a good appointment and knowing baby is alive and well.
Movement? Just starting! I feel a little thud every so often or just little flutters when I am relaxed.
Food cravings? Fruit and certain sweets. Mostly fruit with whipped cream or a nice white fluffy cake! ahhhhhhhhhh I crave cake.. But alas I don't give in to that one.
Labor signs? None.
Belly button in/out? Very much in.
What I miss: I really miss Utah and my bed. I want the space and comfort and to feel engulfed and just comfortable.
What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to my 20 week ultrasound (hoping Sky will be able to come with me) and I am looking forward to sleep. I feel quite tired but that isn't anything new.
Milestones: I guess just being able to hear the heartbeat and know it is strong and being able to feel movement. I feel so blessed and happy to know that the little one is alive and well. I also haven't thrown up for over a week! WOOOOOO.
So again please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know or if these do an adequate job at updating you on how the pregnancy is going.
There you go Alex, Just for you!!!
Love it! I'm living vicariously through you ;)
