How big is baby? Dill pickle, avocado, action figure.. 4-5 inches and 3-5 oz.
Weight gain: At my last doctors appointment I stepped on the scale and almost died at the sight of how much I weighed. I didn't want to be "that girl" who was always worried about her weight when pregnant but.. I totally am. And now I understand how hard it is to see those numbers on the scale. My doctor said I am totally fine especially because I started my pregnancy at such a low weight but it's still difficult, ya know? Especially because I have to make sure I am eating something every two or three hours or else I really do go crazy. It's also super annoying too because my body doesn't have something good to show for the weight gain! Still waiting for that baby bump. I think as time moves on and as I become more connected with my baby, my weight concern will hopefully fall and I'll focus more on this journey I'm on. Paul and I are starting to use the local indoor track not to lose weight obviously but just to help me mentally know that I am taking care of my body and my baby. It's already helped a lot.
Symptoms: Headaches a lot still. Round ligament pain in groin. Tired as always. Weird skin problems that I won't go into although my face has been pretty clear lately.
Sleeping: Still pretty well. Paul usually doesn't go to sleep until after midnight because he's a crazy coding weirdo :) So when he comes to bed I'll wake up and use the bathroom.
Food Cravings: I'm not really craving much at all. Burgers always sound great but not necessarily craving them. I'm not even craving ice cream or chocolate (which is very surprising). I guess mostly just fruit and juice.
Food Aversions: Chicken still kinda grosses me out unless it's grilled.
Miss anything? Not much to miss! I ate a meat sandwich today so I guess that makes me a rebel.
Gender: I've been doing some of the wives tale pregnancy predictors and every one of them has said girl! We still think it's a girl but we finally thought of a couple boy names that we love so I would be totally happy with a boy! We find out the gender at my next appointment in a couple weeks!!!
Maternity Clothes: Not yet! Still living in my leggings and t shirts to stay comfy. I can't bring myself to buy new garments yet so just dealing with my tight ones by cutting a little slit to give me some extra room. Probably not the best thing to do but I'm going to be retiring them soon anyways.
Movement: I've been wondering if those tiny flutters I've been feeling are movements but yesterday (January 13th) Paul and I were sitting on the bed and all of a sudden I felt the craziest and weirdest "roll" type feeling just below my belly button. I jumped because it scared me and said "Oh my gosh!" Paul flipped around and was like "What?! Is there a spider??!" hahaha. It was pretty funny that Paul thought I had seen a spider and jumped because I was scared haha. So exciting! I can't wait to feel it again.
Random: Some things just gross the heck out of me. I'm so paranoid about germs it's getting annoying. I carry around a bottle of hand sanitizer every where I go. I also can't stand the smell of other people (besides Paul). We've been spending a lot of time at the library every day and getting wiffs of other people is the worst for me.
I've been having the craziest dreams still. The other night I dreamed that Paul and I were at J dogs getting a hot dog to share and they totally messed up our order. I complained about it and all of the workers were like "We are sorry! We just aren't very good at making hot dogs!" and I was so confused and was like "Umm this is a hot dog restaurant? Shouldn't you be good at making hot dogs?" hahah. Last night I dreamed that we were in California with my Mother and Father in law and Paul and I were so hungry but they wouldn't let us eat anything but soda and movie popcorn haha.
The dream that tops them all though was the one where I put baked potatoes on my boobs to "sooth" them because they were hurting so bad hahah.
What I'm looking forward to: My next appointment in a couple weeks! I'm so excited to see him/her again and spend a lot of time looking at all the body parts. Also, so excited to find out the gender! I'll be seriously so happy either way.
Best moment this week: Paul getting his first job interview and applying to a million jobs all over! We've been applying like crazy and we are starting to apply to jobs outside of Utah so we will see where we go! I'm really excited to get settled again and have a place we call home for at least a little bit. Also going to the temple this week was so great. We went to the Timpanogos temple for the first time and it was really pretty! ALSO feeling maybe move and knowing for sure it was baby and not just gas. :)
