Baby Length: approximately 4 1/2 inches
Baby Weight: almost 3 1/2 ounces
Baby is the size of an: Avocado
Weight gain/loss: Gain of 5.2 lbs since pre-pregnancy (130 lbs to 135.2 lbs). In 2 weeks I have gone from 128 to 135. That is pretty impressive and takes some effort! I do need to be careful and monitor my weight gain a bit because I have been eating everything in sight and have a new weakness for sweets that I never had before. Its going to be really hard to deal with hitting 150 lbs. Sigh....Maternity clothes? Since my boobs are bigger and somehow my hips and shoulders seem to have widened, I definitely think I am getting closer to pulling the maternity clothes donations out of the attic. I thought for sure since it was my first I wouldn't need them until after 20 weeks. Another Sigh...
Stretch marks? Not yet. Applying lotion all the time gets a little old, but I'm trying to keep up with it. Since its been hot lately I feel a bit greasy all the time. Its really fun to stick to the bed sheets. ;)
Sleeping? Sleeping a little bit better in between my every 2 hour pee breaks. I can't wait until baby pops forward and stops putting so much pressure on my bladder! I scrapped the pregnancy pillows and am using the good old fashioned body pillow from Bed, Bath & Beyond. It's been a lifesaver!
Best moment this week: Telling more of my coworkers the good news in Knoxville at a dinner program. Everyone was really excited for me :) And they served carrot cake slices the size of my head so that was a good moment too.
Miss anything? We went out to Taqueria del Sol with some friends on Monday night and it was really hard watching them enjoy all those salty margaritas on the rocks. I don't think I'm supposed to eat Mexican cheese dip either, but I was week and gave in to my temptations. I ate about half a bowl. Oops.
Feel any movement? Nope. I can hear the baby moving like crazy on the Doppler though so hopefully we are getting close!
Food cravings: Still craving red meat. My iron was low at my 16 week OB check with Dr. Marcus this week so maybe there is some science to pregnancy cravings. I'm so excited that Jake and I have a date night at Kevin Rathbun Steak tomorrow night - since we tried date night last week and went to the wrong one. We made a reservation and everything, but since they are down the road from one another on the same street, we ended up at Rathbun's Steakhouse - which was okay...weird menu with lots of uncooked meats and shellfish/seafood as well as lots of unpasteurized cheeses. Was a pain to order there.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Feeling pretty good this week. Just really tired all of the time.
Gender: ? Found out Jake's cousin and his wife are having a boy today! Yay Brady and Dan! I think we are sticking to team green if I can make it. I like the idea of the surprise
Labor Signs: No - thank god.
Symptoms: Bloated, tired, grumpy. And a bad case of fat butt syndrome.
Belly Button? In
Wedding rings? On - although a little tight this morning. I had pizza for dinner so I'm probably retaining water. I need to watch the sodium intake.
Happy or Moody? Happy but stressed. We are dealing with the buyers from hell trying to get a contract in place for selling our house! Its a young, single girl who's buying it, but daddy is a lawyer and he is a pain in my ass!!! I'll be glad when June is over!
Looking forward to: Baby Nash movement. Maybe next week???
