Total Weight Gain (CRINGE): 7 lbs
Exercise:
M - Insanity
T - FOOD POISONING
T - Arrichion (MMA)
Symptoms: No symptoms other than a growing mid section and getting up twice a night to go to the bathroom.
Thyroid: Next follow up appointment is in March. Lab work came back great after increasing my dosage so hopefully I can keep my appointment in March and not have to go back before then.
Maternity Clothes: It's officially belly band time in everything but my work pants. I think I will be good on work pants for awhile since I have bigger sizes in those, but my jeans are not happening without the belly band. My g/f and I went to Destination Maternity over the weekend b/c I am in need of some new work out gear. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in and saw all of their new arrivals!! Really stinking cute! At this point I am ready to start looking like I'm pregnant. I'm such a late bloomer when it comes to looking pregnant! It was the same last go around.
Gender: It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!! I knew it! I had hoped to have one of each, but when she told me it was a girl, I couldn't have been more happy. Who knows, maybe the third time around, we'll get that boy! J/K!!!! Steve would have a heart attack!
Movement: Nothing really - maybe a flutter here and there. After my last ultrasound, the tech said that I would probably not feel anything significant for a few weeks due to the way the baby is positioned in my uterus.
Food Cravings: No cravings this past week.
Food Aversions: CHICKEN, CHICKEN, CHICKEN!!!!!!!!! Last Monday night, I made a new chicken dish and cooked it in the oven like I normally would. They were pretty thick pieces so am pretty positive they were not cooked through all the way because at 2:30 a.m. Steve jumped up and started throwing up. 30 minutes later, I was throwing up. I didn't stop until around 10:00 a.m. 7 times I counted. It was the most miserable experience I've had in a long time. Of course, I was freaking out b/c of the baby, but tried to force fluids down as best I could. Thankfully, Lottie did not eat any of that chicken. Steve and I were both out for the count all day Tuesday. I can't even think about eating chicken anytime soon!
Best Moment of the Week: Seeing my little lady on the big screen. I had a bit of a scare during the ultrasound which had me balling crying and freaking out, but after the doctor came in and took a look, he assured me that everything was just fine so am VERY, VERY thankful that everything looks great and Mini Coop looks beautiful!
What I Miss: I desperately miss my family. Steve and Lottie took off to England on Friday and I have been doing everything in my power to stay busy cleaning and hanging with friends. I broke down yesterday (dang hormones) and cried, but just keep telling myself they will be home in a few days. I just feel so empty without the two of them around. My life just isn't the same. 4 more days - counting down the minutes!!!
Differences Between 1st Pregnancy & 2nd Pregnancy: Last pregnancy I picked up every pregnancy book under the sun at the children's consignment sales and read through all of them. I must have 10 books at home, even a few from England. This time around, I haven't touched a book other than the 100,000 baby names book that I picked back up this past week. On a funny note - in the category of REDNECK NAMES - Tonya made the list......... WTH! :)
Fears/Dreading: After my little scare this past week during my ultrasound, I am just praying for a healthy delivery and to hear that baby cry and being told that everything is perfect. That is what I fear the most as I know most moms do. Everything was so perfect the first time around, that I just hope I am lucky enough for that to happen again.
Follow Up Appointments/Ultrasounds: Next f/u appt. with my doctor is December 27th.
