Pregnancy

So I haven't updated how I've been feeling for awhile!
So here we go:
I definitely have new symptoms and some of my symptoms are gone! (For the better) so first off I'm pretty sure all of my aversions are gone! I can pretty much eat anything although I still prefer carbs over meat. Since week 10 I have craved dairy milk like craaazy!! I drink so much milk and use if for everything now. Opposed to the almond milk we usually have! Also orange juice has been so good to me I absolutely love drinking orange juice everyday :) Mmm 

I'm no longer nauseous AT ALL it is amazing!! Basically the day I got into the second trimester it was gone. When I asked Jaqui about her pregnancies she said that is how she was so I was hoping for it and she was right!
One bad thing is that I constantly have a horrible taste in my mouth :( even if I brush my teeth, chew gym, or eat! I am so self conscious that my breath stinks but I asked Elias and he said it doesn't. I still won't kiss him without gum in my mouth.

Let's talk BO eww I started noticing that if I don't bathe twice a day I literally start having body odor!

My acne has stuck around unfortunately 
:( although I am SO grateful that it is better than when I first found out I was prego.

Night times have become hard for me! I get really moody and I am sooo uncomfortable sleeping now that I'm further along I have completely stopped sleeping on my stomach and back. So getting used to sleeping on my left side has been a little rough, my shoulder and back get sore. So thankfully I bought a pregnancy pillow from Amazon and it just came today, I of course already tried it out and I think it will be a miracle worker with sleep! I can't wait for tonight :) I chose the Snoogle Mini isn't that the funniest name? 
Last but not least I finally bought something to moisturize my belly! I bought Burt's Bee's Mama Bee belly butter. After talking to people and reading lots of reviews I decided to get it! Jaqui said to just get palmers cocoa butter because it works great and is inexpensive but to be honest I hate the smell of it! It makes me sick. Which is funny because lots of reviews on the mama bee say that they hate the smell but I think it's fine! It's just a very natural smell because it's 99% natural and has no perfumes. But once it's rubbed in I don't even notice it! After just using it for a week I can already see how it will make the skin more elastic for all the stretching to come:)
I had to come back and edit this because I forgot! I have been having pregnancy brain like crazy, I forget everything.

I normally have nice strong, smooth nails. But now mine are flaky, brittle and have ridges? What the heck!?! 

I think that's about it! Tomorrow we find out the gender :D well if my doctor does and ultrasound. If not I scheduled a fetal fotos appointment to find out :) so either way we will know if baby green is a boy or girl by the end of the week and we can't be more excited!!
