Clearly, weekly updates were far too big of a commitment for me. So, I will now be doing monthly pregnancy updates...
Total weight gain/loss: 5-6 lbs total, 2 lbs over pre-pregnancy weight.
Maternity clothes? All regular pants but mostly maternity shirts. I am loving dresses but finding non-moo moo maternity dresses is not easy. Unless you want to spend $50. Which I do not.
Stretch marks? None, thankfully. Yet.
Sleep: I'm sleeping so-so. My back and hips are ruined by the time I wake up. Also, my heartburn is definitely getting worse and leading to more and more nights spent sitting up.
Best moment this month: Her "perfect" anatomy scan at 21 weeks, feeling her move alllllll the time, feeling her have hiccups for the first time, buying her crib!
Movement: Most days she moves a lot (although some days she is very quiet) and her movements are definitely getting bigger.
Food cravings: Anything that won't give me heartburn. So basically, I'm craving air.
Gender: Still a girl (as far as we know!)
Labor Signs: None, praise the Lord!
Belly button in or out? Still very, very in. Although I can see the end of it now. I really don't think mine will pop.
What I miss: Sleeping on my back, having heart-burn-free moments.
What I am looking forward to: I'm thankful for everyday I am still pregnant and she is healthy!
Monthly Wisdom: If the old wives tale about heartburn indicating the amount of hair your child will have is true, I may give birth to Chewbacca.
Milestones: Viability!!!!!!!
