How far along? 22w2d - 56% complete!
Which trimester are you in? 2nd trimester :)
How many days until your due date? 124 days! :)
How big is baby? Size of a spaghetti squash (according to Babycenter!)
What milestones has your baby reached this week? According to this site, baby girl is looking more and more like a newborn! It says that she is also able to suck on her thumb, tug on her ears or her play with her little toes! So cute!
What are some of your pregnancy symptoms? PELVIC PAIN! It hurts SO bad! I think it's called symphysis pubis dysfunction or something... Literally feels like I've had my legs spread wide open for hours. It makes walking, getting up from the couch/bed/car very difficult and painful. Sometimes even putting pants on is difficult! I'm already waddling because of it. And I've been warned that it gets worse. MUCH worse. :( And also tons of lower back pain. I've been using my Snoogle in hopes that it will help, but no luck yet :(
Any cravings? Nope.
Any food aversions? Nope!
What emotions have you experienced this week? Mostly happiness, some stressful days... But overall it's been an okay week!
Are you wearing maternity clothes yet? Yep, and my regular shirts won't be long enough for my growing bump soon!
Have any stretch marks? Nothing new.
How much weight have you gained? Weight went back down to 135 for the past few days, so that puts me up 6lbs!
Belly button in or out? Barely in and is looking pretty funny, lol.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Felt any movement? Yep!! Some days, she spends most of her time sleeping (or with her back turned towards me so I don't feel all the punches or kicks, lol). Other days, she kicks and wiggles all day long. My husband finally felt her move this morning. And I'm pretty sure she had the hiccups a few hours ago! I just love it! :) She also has already kicked her big sister when she puts too much pressure on mommy's tummy, lol!
Gender? Still a girl, I hope! Lol.
How has your sleep been? Could be better. Need to get my daughter out of my bed so I can sleep without little feet in my back, haha! Also have tried to sleep on my left side, but ALWAYS wake up on my back. Even the snoogle hasn't helped with that!
Are you nesting? Not really. But I did get the urge to clean and organize stuff earlier... But I talked myself out of it. I over did it earlier when I finally put all the Christmas stuff away. I'm definitely hurting now! :(
Labor signs? Nope. Just a few braxton hicks contractions here or there.
What was your best moment last week? Spending time with my daughter, talking with my husband, and helping him package stuff he sold on Ebay (I find it REALLY fun for some reason!).
What are you looking forward to this week? Organizing my kitchen pantry, rearranging my daughter's toys/play area, coloring in my adult coloring books I got for Christmas and a bubble bath at some point! Lol. Also hoping to get together with friends for Korean BBQ this weekend!! :)
I'll update my bump pics either later today or sometime tomorrow. I've been up all night, haven't even been to sleep yet! I hate when my sleep schedule gets backwards!

 | Comment from stephc2010 » Posted Jan. 7, 2016 11:26am I've still got my Snoogle pillow from my first pregnancy and have been using it, but so far it hasn't helped much! My midwife said that the pain was normal and common during a second pregnancy. She said my muscles are still weak from the first time. And all my friends who have had 2 babies within 2 years have all said that it was very painful, especially the further along you get! Hopefully something will help ease it a bit soon! :) |
 | Comment from Galanthus » Posted Jan. 7, 2016 3:28am Awwwww, sucking on thumb!!! Gave me little happy chills for you :) Sorry to hear about the pain though. I hope you're able to find some relief! Maybe get one of those pregnancy pillows to sleep with, if you don't already have one? I've had one for years, not for pregnancy lol,but because they're so comfy! |
