This time around I was quite nauseous a lot. Never really officially got sick (except for one time), but felt like I could at any moment. It was not a pleasant feeling to say the least. But as long as I kept food in my stomach, chewed some gum and ate handfuls of Sour Patch Kids, I seemed to feel better.
The exhaustion is what is killing me! I am just so so tired. It has gotten better now that I'm in second tri, but it's still debilitating at times! The days I don't get naps in while Emily naps I feel like a zombie! Which I am not that lucky and don't take naps every day.....so I am a zombie like half the week!
We found out the exciting news during our, let's call it "interesting", trip to Disney World in October. I was already "late" before we left and had taken a few tests that were negative. I decided to pack a couple with me just in case. Well, the 3rd day we were there still nothing happened so I pulled out a test and that little pink line just popped up right away! I was pretty much in disbelief! I handed the test to my husband and he said "what does this mean....are you??" It wasn't as clever as my announcement the first time around, but it was just as emotional and exciting!
So here I am now about 18 weeks along (almost half way, eek!). I haven't snapped a weekly pic for this week yet, but here is last weeks:
Here is the latest ultrasound that we had around 12 weeks I think....
We have the "Big Ultrasound" coming this week, so we will hopefully have nothing but good news to share that baby is happy and healthy! And also we will get a sneak peek and see what baby's packin'!
So let's continuing the tradition of the weekly survey!
How far along? 18 weeks 1 day
How big is Baby? 6 inches, .5lb, size of a mango
Total weight gain/loss: Up about 2-3 lbs
Maternity clothes? Oh my gosh, I was in maternity clothes by like 8 weeks! Whole new ball game this time around!
Stretch marks? Not even a valid question anymore...I will be sporting my battle scars for life ;)
Sleep: My house is like a desert at night, so sleep hasn't been the greatest!
Best moment this week: We used the doppler last night to hear the heartbeat. That was fun!
Movement: Been getting little "flutters" for the last couple weeks. They are starting to get more apparent these days.
Food cravings: Oh my, the cravings have been a bit bonkers this time. It started with Sour Patch Kids, then on to Pickles (went through 3 jars), then moved on to egg rolls (ate 12 of them within two weeks and finally was satisfied). Currently, nothing in particular.
Gender: Find out this week!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In....it never really popped out the first time.
What I am looking forward to: Starting the new nursery!
Milestones: Almost half way!
So I still need to do an update on my darling Emily! I figure she deserves her own post. Plus that will give me something else to talk about tomorrow!
