22 Weeks

Not much has changed since 20 weeks. I do feel a lot more movement now, but it is still very sporadic. My secret is a secret no more. Everyone in my family knows about the pregnancy...I just still have to tell my job. I can't believe they don't know. I sometimes wonder if they do know, but don't want to ask because it is impolite. Well, I'm sure it will come out today since the big boss is in town, and she is a woman.

21 Weeks

Since not much has changed since last week, I will not follow my normal protocol. I will add a picture of my 21 week belly once my new computer comes!

Half Baked! (20 weeks)

Total weight gain: Since my last appointment 4 weeks ago I am up an additional 2lbs.

Maternity clothes: Yes, everyday now.

Sleep: Some days are good, some not so good.

Best Moment this week: The anatomy scan I had on Monday. It was so awesome to see my little one moving around, and to find out the all the measurements were normal!

Movement: Some. Especially when I eat. Mostly low in my uterus.

Gender: It's a girl!!

Labor signs: None

Belly button: It has a pointy tip. I will definitely end up with an outy.

Cravings: Pita Inn...again.

What I miss: My wonderful metabolism, mt coordination, thinking clearly. I swear, I have been so forgetful lately.

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

What I am looking forward to this week: Just having my baby girl continue to grow strong and stay healthy.

It's a....

GIRL!! She is measuring about 10 inches long, and weighs approximately 13 ounces. She is healthy and everything looks normal!! I am soo blessed!!

19 Weeks

Total weight gain: I don't know. I'm sure I'll find out at my appointment on Monday.

Maternity clothes: Yes, everyday now.

Sleep: Not the best. I toss and turn due to hip pain, and my few trips to the bathroom during the night.

Best Moment this week: This week and every week is listening to my baby's heartbeat with my Doppler! Such a wonderful sound!

Movement: Some. Sporadically. Mostly low in my uterus, or on my left side. I think my anterior placenta is on the right side since I haven't felt anything over there yet.

Gender: I find out Monday, but I still have a feeling it is a boy.
Labor signs: None

Belly button: It is being stretched so it is in between.

Cravings: This week, nothing in particular. Sometimes I'm hungry all the time, sometimes I'm not very hungry at all.

What I miss: My wonderful metabolism. I hate being gassy all the time. I also miss being able to sleep comfortably. It's only going to get worse.

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

What I am looking forward to this week: Finding out my baby's gender, and making sure all is well and s/he is healthy!

18 Weeks

Total weight gain: I don't know. My next appointment is not until April 12th.


Maternity clothes: On occasion, but I think that will be changing very soon! I tried to fit into a pair of my pre-pregnancy pants for work the other day, but I found myself very uncomfortable a few hours later. Also, the weather is starting to warm some and I can't hide behind fleeces and sweaters anymore.

Sleep: Not the best. I toss and turn due to sciatica, and my few trips to the bathroom during the night.

Best Moment this week: This week and every week is listening to my baby's heartbeat with my Doppler! Such a wonderful sound!

Movement: At times I am convinced I feel something, and at times I believe it is gas. With an anterior placenta, it is hard to tell.

Gender: I find out April 12th, but I still have a feeling it is a boy. My mom is hoping for a girl.

Labor signs: None

Belly button: It is being stretched so it is in between.

Cravings: This week, nothing in particular. I just want food ALL THE TIME!

What I miss: My wonderful metabolism. I hate being gassy all the time. I also miss being able to sleep comfortably. It's only going to get worse.

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

What I am looking forward to this week: Hopefully to feel the baby, and know for sure. Other than that, I have nothing. Looking forward to the 12th.
