11th Commandment: Thou shalt not blog on a holiday

November 29 2012

So I missed last week, but in my defense I spent most of last week either in a food coma, Christmas decorating or online shopping...so clearly my days were packed!  We had a great Thanksgiving with Matt's family, it was good to see Aunts and Uncles and cousins!  I learned that I like ham sandwiches when pregnant, something that are not on my like list when non-knocked up.  

I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday, it went well.  Nothing terribly exciting happened, I gained no weight, my blood pressure is still normal and the baby's heart rate is good.  I met one of the doctors who may be the one who is on duty when I go into labor, she was really nice....thank goodness!  I was getting worried that the doctors would be as moody as their front office staff. 

Next Wednesday is our 20 week ultrasound!!!!!  Hopefully we will see a healthy happy baby of a specific gender!

I did not take a picture of my 'bump', maybe it is just me but I don't feel like mine is a cute as other pregnant women...maybe next week, I wouldn't put all your eggs in that basket though :)

How far along? 19 weeks, 6 days! 
Weight gain/loss? Up 5 pounds...but I had a small food binge starting after my appointment last Wednesday so I am assuming that has to have put some more weight on....
Maternity clothes? Its all I can wear!  I knew this day would come, about time!
Stretch marks? None now and trying hard to prevent them in the future, lots of water and lotion!  My skin has been a little bit more itchy but lotion and aloe has been helpful.
Sleep? It has gotten a little uncomfortable...I can no longer sleep on my stomach so I have to sleep on my sides which makes my hips hurt then I sleep on my back which makes my back hurt, so like every 2 hours I have to switch positions in bed.  Luckily Matt is a deep sleeper otherwise he might have kicked me out of the bed by now.
Best moment this week?  FOOD! seeing family, relaxing with no work for 5 days :)
Movement? I still feel nothing :( 
Food Cravings? Not really craving anything right now
Food Aversions? Chicken, raw onions
Gender? I caved...we will be finding out in December, stay tuned!
Belly button in or out? In.
What I miss? clothes fitting
What I am looking forward to? ultrasound next week!
Milestones?  In one day, I will officially be half way through my pregnancy!!!  Assuming I go for a full 40 weeks....CRAZY how fast it has gone by.  Hopefully the next 20 weeks are as easy as these last 20 have been!
