Photo notes: This was before the jar of spaghetti sauce and I fought for fifteen minutes...it won...and my white shirts became splattered red. Oh, and all this only two days after I spilled orange Fanta on another white shirt. I should add "clumsiness" to my symptoms...
How far along: 21 weeks!
Baby: Is the size of a banana!
Total Weight Gained: Unknown. As of last doctors appt...a total of 0 (back at starting weight)...but I'm pretty sure that I'll have a jump by my next appt. in 3 weeks.
Sleep: Some nights better than others. Wedged between two pillows really helps support the belly and back.
Maternity Clothes: Pants are becoming a must, unless they are are (non-maternity) stretchy pants. Luckily I have some gaucho capri's for work, they're my fav. to wear during the week. No shirts yet.
Best Moment of the Week: Hubby feeling her move more and her furniture arriving! AND on Mothers Day, Addison's gift was making my tummy move with her kicks :) First time I have seen that and it was so amazing.
Food Cravings: Anything cool and fresh...water with lemon, fruits, veges, salads.
Aversions: shrimp and I don't know why... maybe because I'm afraid of the smell. And thinking of hot dogs grosses me out. Symptoms: indigestion (much less thanks to Pepcid), back pain (increasing), round ligament pain (ouch), and preggo brain.
Movement: pretty often, I'm feeling her movement higher in my stomach now which feels even weirder :) I love every one of them though, especially when I'm just laying there quietly.
Gender: Little Girl Addison Mae.
What I miss: sleeping on my back
What I'm looking forward to: starting her nursery! Now that the furniture & mattress is in we just have to paint and everything should fall into place fairly fast! I'm going to enjoy each step of this process :)
Weekly Wisdom: the "good parts" of pregnancy does come! Hang on if you're in the first trimester. It gets better by the day. I feel like I'm actually starting to enjoy being pregnant, minus a couple things. It's getting much more exciting!
Milestones: In the second half of the second trimester! On one hand 19 weeks seems like a long time to go, on the other hand I can't believe in only 19 weeks I will be holding my daughter!
My sweet pea is getting bigger!
