Weekly Pregnancy Journal Update
How far along: 20 weeks! Half way, wow!! :-)
Weight Gain: I think I have now crossed the 10 pound mark. Yesterday I was at about 127 and change, today I seemed to have skipped right up to 129, if that's true that will officially put me over the 10 pound mark, which I guess isn't terrible considering I'm half way, and leaves me still with a buffer of 15-25 lbs to still be in the safe/healthy range and stay under 35 lbs total. I really hope I can make that!
Body & Changes: Let's see. Well Boobs first for sure! I had to buy new bras last weekend and I didn't realize how bad it was till I got them, wow I felt like a new woman after. Also I just tried on a pair of jeans and that pair wouldn't button! Uh oh! Mostly though my boobs. Every morning when I wake up they just feel heavy, getting big too.
Exercise: Getting slightly more winded when I'm teaching now. I've also switched from a flat bench to an inclined bench just to be safe. But otherwise still teaching at least 4 classes a week still!
Clothes: Still all regular minus the larger bras. I haven't had to buy any maternity clothes yet.
Sleep: Still really good, no problems to report!
What I’ve been eating: Absolutely still loving any type of frozen treats, that is my indulgence at night!
Emotions: Cool and collected? haha, nothing out of the ordinary.
Purchases: I bought a belly belt to extend my regular pants. It was my first purchase in the maternity store! Seems like the timing was quite fitting bc tonight I couldn't button a particular pair of jeans. I also bought a beautiful decorative pillow last night from Pottery Barn Kids for the nursery to put on the rocking chair
What I miss: Still mostly just coffee although I've had a small cup on a rare occasion now in the second trimester
Stretch marks: I'm still pretty tiny so nothing there
Food cravings: Ice cream/yogurt! Frozen treats you name it
Movement: The ultrasound technician told me on Friday my placenta is in the front so it may be a couple more weeks before I start feeling anything :-/
Anything making you queasy or sick: All is good
Have you started to show yet: Yes finally! Although if I wore a lose fitting shirt you prob couldn't tell, but that time may be passing quicker now.
What I’m looking forward to: Hmm, decorating and registering come to mind at the moment!
Best Moment of the Week: Our 20 week ultrasound of course and seeing the spud. And also knowing that now I am half way, oh man I guess that means from this point forward we're closer to the end than the beginning? Another 20 weeks till life changes forever, feels like it's just around the corner!
