How far along? 21 weeks Weight Gained: 14 lbs… aaaand so much for the suggested one pound a week Symptoms: Sleepy Movement: Part of our birth class homework each day is to set aside time to practice deep relaxing. Oh. my. gosh. I look forward to this more than I can say. So does Little. She gets very excited about it and forgets the part about relaxing (which may just be another reason I look forward to it […]

How far along? 19 weeks Weight Gained: 11 lbs Symptoms: I no longer own a bra that fits :( This has elicited muffled chuckles from my husband and a lot of empathetic “oh honey’s” but really it’s quite frustrating!

Greg even got to feel finally! He gasped and then got […]

I may be feeding my dog 4x a day… I don’t know. Same with my prenatal vitamins. Did I take one today? I don’t know. Movement: Oooo! I love it! We know Little has at least one limb. Hooray! Food cravings: Still been craving […]
Aaand we have ourselves a case of the disappearing belly.. How far along? 17 weeks Weight Gained: Still 8 lbs.. Clearly those haven’t suddenly disappeared Symptoms: Practically none Movement: Most definitely! I kept trying to get Greg to feel it (because I could feel it on my hand when I would rest it there) but no such luck :] Food cravings: Donuts, cake, brownies. Pretty much anything loaded with sugar. I couldn’t wait to go to church, sadly because I knew […]
Greg keeps saying, “I can’t wait till your belly is that big” to which I reply, “it is that big” and he goes into a mild state of shock or horror.. I’m not sure which. How far along? 16 weeks Weight Gained: 8 lbs.. Well, actually it was 10 lbs at the doctor yesterday but today it’s 8 so we are going with 8 ;) The doctor said “that’s a lot for most people but you should be […]

How far along? 15 weeks Weight Gained: 7 (!!) lbs Symptoms: Whoever said the second trimester is sooooo easy, I’d like to track down and give them a good glare down. I’ve had […]

Considering how many miscarrying dreams I’ve had, this is quite exciting : ) How far along? 14 weeks Weight Gained: 5.5 lbs Symptoms: I still have the skin of a teenage boy… and the fatigue has come back a bit.

Happy last week of the first trimester to us : ) How far along? 13 weeks Weight Gained: 5 lbs Symptoms: Everything makes me cry… luckily I’m usually alone when this happens : ) Movement: None Food cravings: I find myself wishing for cake quite often. If Nothing Bundt Cakes wasn’t over half an hour away with no traffic, I’d probably be there every day… with different wigs. Food aversions: Lettuce Sleep: Could use more Stretch marks? No Belly button in or out? […]
I think my stomach has officially shrunk but maybe it’s because the pudge pudge bloat is *starting* to decrease and real baby is starting to emerge!!
