How far along?: 13w 2days
How big is baby?: The size of a peach or 2.9in. long
Weight gain/loss?: We don't have a working scale, so I'll only be weighing in at Dr.'s appointments. My appetite has definitely returned, so I'm sure I'm gaining. I've also been able to make it back to the gym a few times a week and that has felt great. Don't worry, I'm listening to the doc and not running, but doing some light cardio (elliptical, bike) for 30 minutes and using the seated weights at the gym. I feel so much better after a workout, even though I would have NEVER considered this routine a real workout before. Today I just stared at the Spinning class, wishing I could go in.
Stretch marks?: Stay away again!
Maternity clothes?: Nope, but the pants are starting to be uncomfortable buttoned, so I'll be breaking out the bella band very shortly.
Sleep?: Insomnia is a lot better, but I've been having some unpleasant nightmares.....water breaking at 18 weeks, and then one last night where someone took Adalyn from this random daycare I had dropped her off at. I hate nightmares!
Food cravings?: None really. I'm just hungry in general.
Gender?: Anatomy scan is still set for the morning of 11/15 and then I will have to be strong and not look at the sealed envelope for 2 whole days! We will be doing that gender reveal photoshoot on that Saturday morning. So excited! The last week or so, I've had a change in heart and think we're having another girl.
Movement?: No flutters this week, but I did order a doppler and have listened to the baby's heartbeat at home a few times. Well worth the $60 for peace of mind. Plus, it's cool.
Belly button?: no change.
Symptoms?: Just hunger really and starting to feel and look pregnant. The fatigue is much better too. Again, 2nd tri - you rock!
What are you looking forward to this week?: Adalyn and I are actually off to Bermuda to visit my mom for the weekend. Andrew was supposed to be coming with us, but has too many school commitments that he can't miss. I'm really bummed. I miss him so much all week as it is, and to not see him this weekend will be hard. We are on a flight back Sunday morning, so hopefully we will get some time together in the evening.
Not too much else new, other than a busy week. I have 2 family sessions and a newborn session before I head out on Friday. I don't know what to do with myself when I'm not busy, so I'm happy!
