Today's Date: July 16
How Far Along: 20 weeks, 6 days
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Officially, 10 pounds. I'm a little afraid of gaining too much weight because eating is always an "issue" for me. It's easy to put on pounds when you're a short person anyway. So I hope at my next appt. there aren't extra numbers on that weight gain.
Maternity Clothes: I bought a few more maternity shirts this week from Old Navy because I didn't have many "casual" clothes for the weekends. I LOVE them! They are the perfect length and really light and cool. I'm wearing mostly maternity pants, too, but I can still wear some pants unbuttoned. I'm thinking about finding a way to turn some old black capris that I haven't been able to button in a LONG time into maternity pants.
Best Moment this week: Our second ultrasound yesterday when we saw our little man moving around, kicking, punching and yawning. We also got to see his little hands open and close. Every movement we see is like a little miracle!
Gender: It's a boy! We like the name Luke (I'll write about why in another blog) and keep going back to that one.
Movement: Mostly just flutters still, but more consistent. I also have been feeling lots of little twitches, which I believe are little hiccups.
Food Craving: I haven't been craving much this week, except tuna salad on a bagel (which of course I can't have). I have also had a craving the past couple of days for blueberry muffins.
What I Miss: Tuna, steak that isn't burnt to a crisp, hot dogs regularly!
Sleep: Last week was miserable because I kept going to bed late, so I've been trying to get to bed earlier and it's made a huge difference. Besides being woken up by BIZARRE dreams, I'm sleeping really well.
What I Am Looking Forward To: More of his movements!
Symptoms: I've been feeling really good. The only symptoms are a little bit of a backache if I sit for too long and I get winded easily. Also, there are times when my blood feels like it's pumping really hard. Maybe because there is 40% more blood in my body or something crazy like that!
Here's my pic for this week in a new top!
YEEEESSS!!! Finally! This is vital information!
ReplyDeleteJessica and I have already decided your kid is named Luke because we have that kind of authority. ;-)
