Total weight gain: 16lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes. And things are getting more uncomfortable.
Stretch marks? A few on each side of my belly. I'm using the Palmer's product (love the scent), but I'm really not concerned about stretch marks. It's like a trophy to me. :)
Sleep: Last night I was up 4 times to pee...I've been downing water and some Gatorade due to the SECOND cold I've had in the last 4 weeks. SUPER ANNOYING.
Best moment this week: I'm hoping it's tomorrow. I have a doctor's appointment - my glucose test. But DH and I are planning to talk to the doc about recommending I start my leave now.
Movement: I've been doing the "kick counting." I've read you should feel 10 movements in a two hour period. Well, this kid moves 10 times in under 6 minutes!
Food cravings: Since the onset of this cold - raspberry sorbet. YUM!
Gender: BOY!
Labor signs: Had a couple Braxton Hicks contractions a few days ago. Once at Target and once in the middle of the night on Monday. The Target incident was just one contraction. Monday night's were about 3 or 4. It woke me up and I had a hard time getting back to sleep. Nothing since.
Symptoms: Lower Abdominal heaviness, headache, fatigue, stuffy nose, joint soreness, swelling, dizziness, forgetfulness, stress, major fetal movement, round ligament pain.
Belly button in or out? In, but very shallow
Wedding rings on or off? On, but most days I have to take them off because of swelling.
Happy or moody most of the time: I've been very moody. I need a break, some serious rest and to get rid of this head cold.

 | Comment from mrsamanda » Posted May. 7, 2014 10:03am I really hope you get to start your leave soon. You need a break from all that craziness. I've been sick too, going on a week now, even though I finished my antibiotics, I'm still sniffling and snorting. Ugh. I haven't done the kick counts because they haven't told me I need to and I've seen a lot of people get stressed when they don't feel the baby the # of times they say you're suppose to. But, I do feel her move throughout the day, so I guess that's a good sign. Good luck with your glucose test! I hope you pass the first time around!! |
 | Comment from jennavee » Posted May. 7, 2014 9:00am Isn't being sick while pregnant the WORST!? I've been constantly taking the Airborne effervescent tablets since I was sick. I just drink it in the morning with breakfast. I figured that it can't hurt, and I definitely don't want to get sick again! And raspberry sorbet...yum for sure!! I've been crazy about anything raspberry lately! Just over 10 weeks for you lady!! I hope you get to start your leave soon and get a break from all the stress! |
