it's hard to write about something that is an absolutely miserable experience. my apologies. here's a recap of what i hope to be the remainder of the lost weeks. i do have a lot to update on the blog (like our first trimester screening) but that was a really hard week due to other circumstances and then i got sick and i just haven't gotten around to processing everything. i plan on doing that this weekend. something to look forward to, i guess...
The Details
How far along? 13 weeks on february25th - and what a better way to wrap up the first trimester than with a virus? because i really couldn't have though of a better way. might as well end it with a bang!
Weight gain: +2 pounds - finally some weight gain
Maternity clothes? belly bands are my new bff. i can still comfortably button my pants fine (obvs since i've been losing weight) but why would i want to do that when i could throw on a belly band and call it a day?!
Stretch marks? nope. although there has been some stretchage of the stomach. i can tell my uterus is larger. most people probably just think i've been drinking too much beer.
Sleep: still loving my snoogle. no sleep issues due to pregnancy, however i did decide to watch the entire twilight saga (to date anyway) on saturday night since i couldn't sleep due to my nose being ON FIRE!
Best moment during the remainder of the lost weeks: morning sickness has ended! just in time for me to catch a virus...
Miss Anything? being able to breathe.
Movement: not for a while.
Food cravings: pickles. and then i am immediately nauseous. pretty awesome, huh?!
Anything making you queasy or sick: pickles.
Gender Prediction: i always seem to refer to baby R as "he" so a boy i guess. although, i seem to refer to EVERYTHING as a he since all i've had my whole life are boy pets. so it's probably more habit than anything, but stan says girl so i guess there has to be someone rooting for the other team.
Labor Signs: not for a while.
Symptoms: a crappy immune system at the moment.
Belly Button in or out? still flat
Wedding rings on or off? all three rings fit great, but i'm sure once summer hits i'll be down to just my engagement ring...
Happy or Moody most of the time: pretty emotionless.
Looking forward to: not being sick. and planning the gender reveal party.
Sleep: still loving my snoogle. no sleep issues due to pregnancy, however i did decide to watch the entire twilight saga (to date anyway) on saturday night since i couldn't sleep due to my nose being ON FIRE!
