Total weight gain/loss: -1 or 2 pounds - I'm finally starting to put the weight on.
Maternity clothes: I just started wearing maternity pants Christmas week. Shirts I've worn off and on and definitely need them more now. I can still wear some of my long non-maternity shirts.
Stretch marks?: none yet and hoping for none at all
Sleep: not good. Got a boyfriend (body pillow) last week and I'm hoping that will start helping. I'm such a stomach sleeper and that is no longer comfortable.
Best moment this week: seeing a bunch of friends last night we hadn't seen in awhile and when everyone asked how we were, mh would rub my belly and say good. It was really cute.
Movement: nothing yet. Although I think I was experiencing some lightning crotch earlier. ETA: I think I might be finally feeling the baby a little bit right now. woo hoo!
Food cravings: none yet really. I really wanted ice cream before...but since we didn't have any at home and it has given me some serious heart burn anyways, I didn't have any.
Gender: I had a dream it was a girl one night...and I have a small feeling it's a girl. MH thinks it's a boy and really wants a boy. We shall find out on Wednesday!

Maternity clothes: I can still fit my pre-preg pants but I have a ventral hernia (on my c-section scar), so they are very uncomfortable/

Total weight gain/loss: -4 pounds

Stretch marks?: I had some little not so noticeable ones before but I have these red ones that look really bad, I've been using Bio Oil so I'm hoping it will help them go down.
Sleep: I can't sleep! I use to be best friends with insomnia my first couple of years of college, but now that I'm in law school it's not working out so great. I don't miss my old friend.
