How Far Along: 21 weeks 2 days
Size of Baby: 13 oz. per last ultrasound (which was Fri, 6/17)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: About 7 lbs. gain
Maternity Clothes: Some - since I work in a trendy office environment I was tired of feeling frumpy in too tight clothes or clothing made for someone 3x my size... so I invested in some cute dresses that I can dress up or down. It makes me feel better and flatters my cute bump (in my opinion that is!).
Complaints: Sciatic nerve pain - OUCH! I'm sitting on a pillow right now at work. I also had swollen feet this weekend but it was a combination of crappy shoes, too many salty chips, heat, and being on my feet for one too many hours at a family party. Hubby got me ice cream and elevated my feet and all was better.
Boy, Girl, Team Green: OH BOY - it's a BOY! We just found out on Friday, 6/17 so it's still very exciting for us!
Cravings: Milk, veggies, fruit, nothing really too distinctive. I'm eating and craving healthier foods that I did pre-pregnancy!
Stretch Marks: None so far! I keep lathering on the baby oil everyday!
Nursery Progress: After seeing the 20 week ultrasound, and finding out it's a boy, my husband now has renewed interest in the nursery. We've started looking at paint colors and discussing what to do with our existing office space which will soon be a nursery. Nothing more than conceptual discussions as of now.
What are you looking forward to this week? Hmm... I look forward to more movement. I just leaned forward at my desk and felt a distinctive THUMP inside my tum... so I naturally did it again to see if he'd give me another punch (and he did). I love feeling movement!
How Far Along: 24 weeks 5 days
Size of Baby: not too sure -- my ticker says "papaya"
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think I have gained about 7 pounds or so, but I'm not exactly sure what my pre-pregnancy weight was. I'll have to check with the doctor when I go back.
Maternity Clothes: Some. I'm wearing a lot of lululemon pants, most of my own shirts, but for work my dress pants particularly tend to need to be maternity. I was super stoked today when I put on a pair of my American Eagle skinny jeans that have a fairly low rise and could get them done up!
Complaints: None really. It's getting tough to bend over when I drop things (I'm super clumsy these days)
Boy, Girl, Team Green: GIRL
Cravings: Nothing particular, mostly fruit.
Stretch Marks: none yet (knock on wood)
Nursery Progress: We have a crib, mattress, change table, pack n' play and a few odds and ends. I can't find bedding I like, and I don't want to start "Decorating" until I find something so I can match.
