Maternity clothes: My clothes are finally getting a little uncomfortable. I can still wear everything but my pants are getting tight. I'm going to invest in a bella band this week!
Weight Gain: 5 lbs
Stretch Marks: not yet...hopefully I never will :-)
Sleep: This is not improving, but no worse either. My shoulders hurt from laying on my sides all night. I like sleeping on my back but you aren't supposed to anymore.
What I miss: Sleeping normal!
This week: Baby is definately moving around!! I feel her everyday now especially if I haven't eaten in awhile!! Matt actually felt a little kick last weekend, so that was exciting!
Symptoms: I get light headed if I get up too fast, either from bed or during the day at work. Apparently blood pressure is particularly low in the 2nd trimester. Other than that, I feel great!
Cravings: I'm still struggling with chocolate! It doesn't help that around our office all the halloween candy is out, so its way to easy to indulge!
What I'm looking forward to: Getting the nursery started. We didn't quite get to anything this weekend BUT we did decide on a paint color.
I also registered...well started it at least at Babies R Us. I'm sure I'll continue to add to it but its a start, right!
Next Friday we go back to the doctor for our 20 week (5 month!!!) visit. I'm anxious to go as I feel like its been SO long since we were there last. I'm making myself nervous about leaving the country in a few weeks for our Mexico trip as well. I have no good reason to but I keep thinking what if something happened while in Mexico!! ahhhh! Then I tell myself that people in Mexico are pregnant too and give birth in that country and survive. haha
I'll share a picture I took last week of the "bump". There is a little one but I really think I look like I have a beer belly. I do have a book that you keep weekly pictures of it but keep in mind, Matt is gone all week, so its all on me to take the picture, so I have to get creative and take it in the mirror!! Don't laugh!
