Baby Bump #2 Update
Monday, December 3, 2012
1. How Far Along? 14 weeks & 4 days.
2. Due Date? May 31, 2013 :-)
3. Do you know the gender? Not yet. I think I know what it is, but we'll see shortly after Christmas; hopefully 4 weeks from today!
4. Size of the baby? About the size of a LEMON (3.5 inches) (How Big is Baby?)
5. Total weight gain? Down 17 lbs as of my OB appointment this morning. I'm not sure why I'm still losing weight... I haven't been sick for 2 weeks now. I got the OK from the doctor to start exercising again now that I'm healthy & not feeling like death. I can't do more than 30 minutes of cardio though... that'll be difficult for me; I've always done at least an hour. But I'm happy that I can still lift weights & do toning... minus ab exercises of course. I was so worried that this pregnancy was going to turn out like John's weight & health wise. In all honesty I'm hoping to not gain all the weight I've lost back... it would be nice to not have to work like crazy after birth to get my body back!
6. Maternity Clothes? Some shirts. I am carrying really high this time around. The doctor found the heartbeat at my belly button again this time... John was always so low so this is definitely different!
7. Any stretch marks? Nope :)
8. How's the sleep? Crazy!!! I get exhausted around 7:30pm or 8pm & crash. Then, usually around 2am, I am wide awake until around 4am. I hate pregnancy insomnia!!
9. Best moment this week? Seeing family in Iowa & Nebraska. John was such a little trooper!! He did great in the car & at all the different family homes/hotel we were at... I was very proud of our little fella.
10. Missing anything? My bed! Sleeping on this air mattress is starting to hurt my back.
11. Baby Movements? YES! Just little flutters :-) Oh so precious!
12. Any cravings? Salad & fruit. We ate lunch at good ole Olive Garden today & I had like 3 bowls of salad along with Zuppa Toscana soup- yum! I've been making a lot of smoothies with chocolate Slim Fast powder too. I figure since I don't have much of an appetite & drinking is usually easier on the stomach than eating that Slim Fast is a good choice since it's supposedly a meal replacement nutrient wise... I just add some PB2 for protein & add frozen bananas & blackberries... so good.
13. What makes you sick or queasy? John's formula, chicken, dirty diapers, water, garlic, sugary foods & drinks; soda, ice cream, candy, unhealthy cereals etc.
14. What pregnancy symptoms are there? Round ligament pain, fatigue, MOOD SWINGS; I cry over everything, forgetfulness, heartburn, acne, very stuffy/bloody nose, nausea, frequent headaches & pregnancy rash (PUPPS).
15. Any labor signs? Nope.
16. Can you still wear your wedding rings? Sure can.
17. Your mood is...? Good... I'm really anxious for Friday.... that's when we start our travels to Germany!
18. Looking forward to? This week... spending time with my family before we leave.
