Okay... so originally i was going to do the whole weekly chalkboard thing to document my growing belly but then the first week i tried it i had an emotional breakdown about not looking cute.. ha ha RIDICULOUS. After that my goal kind of fizzled, especially since i just use my app "the bump" which i take just iphone selfies and post them on my own personal profile thing.
Then i was just going to do updates on my own and right everything like a journal but let's be honest it's hard to sit and write even weekly! But i HAVE to document this! so here we go. I am going to do the very typical questionnaire with all of the typical questions!
HOW FAR ALONG: 19 weeks (tomorrow.. close enough right??)
TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN: at my last appointment i had gained 8 lbs total. I decided not to weigh at home.. i think that just adds un-needed stress.
MATERNITY CLOTHES: Today i bought my things and what are they? Maternity garments ha ha and i LOVE them!
STRETCH MARKS: None yet! Although i have had a few scares. I get these little dry patches around my belly button that kind of look like stretch marks. I didn't think about it too much until Elias asked if they were, then i freaked out! But it is definitely just dry skin right now :) So i am just using my Burt's Bee's Mama Bee belly butter religiously and hoping for the best. I am also trying hard not to scratch my itchy skin (i heard that makes things worse)
SLEEP: For awhile it was getting really rough.. so i bought a pregnancy pillow. The one i got is the Snoogle Mini, It is really nice and has helped sleep alot. The best thing it has done has just helped me transition from sleeping on my stomach. Some nights i do wake up pretty sore though.. especially my back.
BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK: So since i haven't updated things in awhile i haven't blogged about feeling the baby move. Week 17 is when i started feeling the baby move! It truly is the craziest feeling. I thought i was feeling it for awhile and then when it became a constant thing it was clear to me that it WAS the baby! People always say it feels like flutters but that is not what it feels like to me, i once heard it described as feeling like bubbles popping and that explains what i feel SOOO much more. Than my friend told me that it feels like it takes her breath away which i didn't feel until yesterday. This little girl must be getting bigger/stronger because she is now kicking HARD! i love it. Aaaand finally to the best part of the week this morning when i was laying in bed as my alarm snoozed i had my hand on my belly and i felt the baby kick from the outside. I was so extremely excited because now Elias will be able to feel her. I already informed him that that is my newest goal :)
WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK: I don't know if there has been anything bad related to pregnancy.. but my job has been pretty lame :( and being extra emotional has been fun either! I cry at the drop of a hat :/
MISS ANYTHING: Running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my gosh it sounds so cliche but i miss lacing up my shoes and going out on a run. Having good enough cardio to just go go go and breath all that fresh air and take in the beauty of where we live! I see people running all the time and i think of how this time last year was my peak running time and it makes me a little sad! I really think i am going to sign up for the Ogden half marathon for next year so that after our little girl is here i will be motivated to work out again.
MOVEMENT: I didn't know this question was coming ha ha if i did i wouldn't have rambled on about it in the other question ha ha
FOOD CRAVINGS: Oranges! anything orange! I drink oj everyday and today i made orange rolls. Just the ones from the can that you bake and ice. They make 8 and i ate 4 :| Elias got home from work and was like uh... did you eat 4 rolls?? and i said "yes do you want to judge me for it?" and then we both laughed and laughed! ha ha i also crave pepperoncinis aaand San Pelegrino Limonata mmmm
ANYTHING MAKING YOU QUEASY OR SICK: To be honest smells are a little hard for me. At work my boss was eating something suuuuper garlic-y and came and got on my back about something and she was way close to me and i thought i was going to throw up! Another weird thing that i've had my whole pregnancy so far is that if i drink ice cold water it makes my stomach ache/cramp
GENDER: girl
LABOR SIGNS: NO
BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT: I have one of the deepest innies on the planet so it is definitely still in. But it is getting way more shallow then i have ever seen it.
WEDDING RINGS ON OR OFF: on but i think i will be one of those people who has to buy a fake one from target or something
HAPPY OR MOODY: Definitely moody. These emotions/hormones are hard to deal with ha ha
LOOKING FORWARD TO: Having Elias feel the baby move!
EXERCISE: I haven't exercised in a long while. It was hard when i was nauseous and now with my work schedule it's impossible :(
The end! Yay :)
