I'll be the first person to tell you when it comes to procrastinating... I could win a contest. It's hilarious because I'm extremely on top of it when it comes to certain things and my obsession with list-making can get to extremes sometimes. I'm a planner by nature, but just to throw a wrench in all my plans, God also gave me the ridiculous ability to throw caution to the wind and NAP. That being said, it's probably not one of my finer qualities. I'll try and post a few times a week, to keep friends in family in the loop with baby West, our household happenings, and obviously Cash, because he runs the show around here.
Without further ado, here's a little update about our pregnancy so far:
Weight Gain : 8ish pounds, although, last night when I
weighed myself I was only up 6 pounds. All I really know is it has gotten
pretty dang uncomfortable to button my pants and I’m not one to walk around
with a ponytail holder holding my pants up.
Maternity Clothes : For the most part I’m a yoga pants girl
so I’ve not had to make any big commitments yet. The photo above is a pretty good representation of where I'm at style wise right now. Hopefully I won't look back on this one day & shudder (I will). Also, I did go up a scrub shirt size
this past Sunday. My sister-in-law, Ashley, hooked me up with
a HUGE bag full of maternity clothes last week for when I can’t fit in my normal clothes
anymore.
Sleep : Such weird dreams. I’m usually a belly sleeper and
this has gotten increasingly difficult. I often find myself waking up on my
back, so I think I’ll have to invest in a big pillow soon. Thankfully,
middle-of-the-night bathroom visits have decreased… for now.
Sickness: Still have some occasional nausea periodically,
mostly when I’m hungry. I was super nauseous/vomiting weeks 8-18… It’s been
nearly 2 weeks since I’ve thrown up!
Movement: Kicks and jabs, especially at night and after
lunch. I started feeling movements about 18 weeks & it was about week 19 I
realized what they were. I have an anterior placenta so it’s not very often
that I feel baby rolling around, but when I do it is so bizarre.
Cravings: In the beginning, when I was getting sick multiple
times a day it was frappucinos, milkshakes and smoothies. I'd just skip out on food for the most part. Once I started to
enjoy food again, I craved steak, a bologna sandwich (which was not nearly as
satisfying as I anticipated), donuts (per usual, this is also a non-pregnancy craving),
steamed broccoli and Dr. Pepper. The only thing that has seemed to stick around
was the Dr. Pepper.
Favorite moment(s): Two ultrasounds, hearing the baby's heartbeat with the doppler, feeling the baby move, finding out our baby is a BOY and giving him a name!
