How far along: 21 weeks
Total weight gain: 12.5 lbs (started around 115, currently at 127.5)
Sleep: We really need a new bed, so sleeping is becoming a bit of a challenge the bigger I get.
Maternity Clothes: I have a few pairs of work pants, but I mostly still wear my regular clothes. I need maternity jeans BADLY!! My regular jeans are so painful to wear :(
Food cravings: I can't stop eating sweets (especially chocolate)!
Food aversions: I'm ok with pretty much everything.
Symptoms: Super dry skin, backaches, headaches, exhausted.
Movement: Baby boy has been moving like crazy, especially in the afternoons and at night when I'm in bed.
Gender: A BOY!!! :)
What I’m looking forward to: Our 22 week appointment on Friday. We'll be able to hear the heartbeat again and find out if they found anything problematic on our ultrasound.
What I miss: Being comfortable in my clothes and not stressing about medical bills.
Best moment this week: We received some Christmas presents for baby, which was very exciting! We got a new crib, high chair and some baby clothes & blankets. It's starting to feel more and more real :)
Total weight gain: 11.5 lbs (started around 115, currently at 126.5) - I think I need to lay off the peanut butter and cheese. lol. They have a lot of protein, but also a ton of fat, which isn't helping. I'm going back to eating lots of chicken and lean meat for protein and we'll see if that helps.
Sleep: We really need a new bed, so sleeping is becoming a bit of a challenge the bigger I get.
Maternity Clothes: I got a few pairs of maternity dress pants for work, which are much more comfortable to wear. But they don't fit like I wish they did :( I'm used to more fitted pants, but these are baggier and not as flattering. I'm becoming really frustrated with dressing at the moment.
Food cravings: Salsa and sweets (even though I feel horrible after eating them, I can't help myself)
Food aversions: I'm ok with pretty much everything.
Symptoms: A bit tired if I do too much in a day; face is breaking out like crazy; super dry skin; back is still hurting if I sit too long.
Movement: Yes, baby has been moving a ton this week and I can finally feel it! He is especially active at night when I'm in bed. It's such a cool feeling :)
Gender: A BOY!!! :) We found out on Wednesday at our ultrasound. We were hoping for a girl, but we're thrilled that he appears to be healthy and things are going well in that regard.
What I’m looking forward to: Celebrating Christmas with my family and starting to decorate our little boy's nursery :)
What I miss: Being able to fit into my clothes and not want to cry every time I put something on :(
Best moment this week: Finding our the gender of our little guy and seeing him moving all around during the ultrasound. Also, feeling him move inside me has been pretty amazing!
How far along: 19 weeks
Total weight gain: 9 lbs (started around 115, currently at 124) - I lost .5 pounds last week, and gained 2 this week. lol. I'm pretty sure I'll hit 130 before 2012. Yikes =/
Sleep: Still weird dreams, still waking up several times a night to turn over, but I'm getting good sleep for the most part.
Maternity Clothes: I finally got a few maternity items and they are so much more comfortable than my regular clothes! It's nice to be able to breathe while sitting :)
Food cravings: I still can't get enough of grapefruit juice! Besides that, I don't really crave anything.
Food aversions: I still can't do sweets :(
Symptoms: I did some house cleaning this weekend and my back was killing me for hours afterward. No fun!
Movement: I feel little things here and there.
Gender: We should be finding out on Wednesday. Yay!
What I’m looking forward to: Our ultrasound on Wednesday. Hopefully baby will behave and we'll know if it's a boy or girl!
What I miss: Being able to do routine things without getting exhausted/sore.
Best moment this week: New (comfy!) clothes.
How far along: 18 weeks
Total weight gain: 7 lbs (started around 115, currently at 122) - I lost .5 pounds this week. I've been upping my protein intake to over 70 grams a day, so less carbs = less weight gain, I guess?
Sleep: I've been having crazy dreams (mostly about my husband messing up and me being mad at him. lol) and still wake up several times a night, but it's going ok.
Maternity Clothes: I ordered some stuff that should be here tomorrow. I can't handle these too-tight jeans any longer!
Food cravings: Grapefuit juice, sandwiches, granny smith apples.
Food aversions: Sweets still don't agree with me and I'm starting to hate sour stuff again.
Symptoms: Headaches, I get irritated easily, my back has been hurting on and off.
Movement: I've felt a few little things here and there, but nothing much this week.
Gender: Not sure. Hopefully we'll find out this week!
What I’m looking forward to: We get to schedule our gender ultrasound either this week or next week, so I'm hoping baby will cooperate and we'll find out what we're having!!
What I miss: Being comfortable in my clothes. Hopefully getting new maternity clothes will help a lot :)
Best moment this week: We had our 17-week checkup and things are going great. Baby's heart rate was 156 and everything else looked just fine.
