Mama Size: Up two pounds from pre-preggo weight. I will upload a picture soon! I think I am carrying low. Peter finally turned to me this week and said, "You're PREGNANT?!" I was like....really? I guess it has started to sink in now that my stomach is growing.
Symptoms: Insomnia at 2-4am due to hunger pangs. I finally caught on and started to eat a snack right before bedtime, but for awhile I had no idea why my sleep was so disrupted. Quick poll: Peter thinks a banana with peanut butter spread on it is the weirdest combination ever and he thinks it's just the beginning of me eating weirdly. But I just was like, bang for my buck! Calories plus protein. Who is right :) (b/c isn't that what marriage is REALLY about?)
Also, today for lunch I had TEN chicken nuggets and a chili from Wendy's. I guess it wasn't the worst choice but I did send an apology towards the tiny parasite. Let's see....I think I am going to gradually take up running again even though I still get some pelvic and joint pain at night. Oh and I have felt like I was going to faint several times this week. Oh and the incessant peeing.
Other updates: Baby will be a traveler before even leaving the womb! I fly out to DC next week and Virginia mid November. While I am doing all this traveling, our house--well, basement--will be getting painted and carpeted which means I can finally move the guest bed downstairs and start working on the nursery. I am thinking birds and owls and yellows and whites.
Question of the week: When did you start to feel your first baby kick?
#1: If Peter thinks that's weird, then I won't tell you the things I combined. He'll never want to meet me (if you ever decide to buy Lori and I plane tickets).
ReplyDelete#2: You're pregnant. It means you are always right. Just ask Zack.
#3: Parasite?! I knew you and I had something in common.
#4: Be careful if you feel faint. My SIL felt that way at times and actually passed out once in a grocery store. Low blood sugar.
#5: Wait til you have the baby, and you get your first cold. Every time you cough, you end up trying to pee on yourself. Fun stuff.
#6: The first time I "thought" I felt Luke kick, it was gas. The second time I thought I felt him kick, I thought it was gas. When I finally realized he was kicking, my stomach moved with each kick. I think I was 5-6 months along.
Peanut butter and banana is a healthy snack. Even for non-preggos. I read it in SELF magazine. Does that make it legit?
ReplyDeleteAre you aware that Lindsay and I are going to be in DC together next week? And where in VA are you going to be in Nov? Let's hook up if we can!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember exactly when I felt the little gal first move, but I think it was around 18/19 weeks -- you would think I would have documented that on my blog, but at first, you're usually not sure if it's legit or some kind of intestinal thing, which is probably why I didn't shout it from the rooftops. It would definitely be fun to see your little growing belly -- or just you, really :)
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOVE Peanut Butter and Bananas! Amber and I lived off those in college. And Spaghettios. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI was about 18 weeks when I feel them both move...the flutter thing...where I mistaked it for gas...BOTH pregnancies. LOL!
18-19 weeks on baby 1.
ReplyDelete15 weeks on baby 2, but it took me a couple of weeks of it constantly happening before the light bulb went off.
14 weeks with baby 3. I was smarter, older and undersized.
