How far along? 13 weeks, I just told you
Total weight gain: I have no idea but considering I keep feeling like I’m starving, then get sick when I put food to my face, I can’t imagine I’ve gained anything.
Maternity clothes? Needing the belly band again because I can’t button my pants. Also, 90% of my dresses don’t fit anymore. I figured this out when I was getting ready for church and couldn’t zip it up due to my growing chest. TMI? Well you asked.
Best pregnancy moment this week: Getting to the 2nd trimester!
Miss Anything? Being able to eat whatever I want, specifically fried rice, burgers, pizza.
Movement: Maybe by the end of February?
Food cravings: Tacos, breakfast burritos, baked potatoes
Food aversions: Breaded chicken, pizza, still anything greasy or unhealthy
Gender: Still saying girl
Symptoms: I normally just get a stomach ache at mealtimes and especially at night. I’m not as tired, but when I get hungry it’s out of the blue and I’m just all of a sudden starving. No warning.
Looking forward to: getting a baby bump!
Last weekend we went to visit Anakin. I got to hold him first and he was so tiny and cute! I was a little nervous because I forgot which ways you can hold a newborn. I mostly just remembered to support his head. I forgot how heavy 7 pounds is though, I can’t believe in a few months I will have that weight in my uterus. And I thought my back hurt now! Anyways, it was really fun seeing them. Matt held him too and was a little scared, it was his first time holding a newborn and he hasn’t held many babies at all in his life.
Before I was pregnant I watched a couple documentaries that made me leery of epidurals, even though I knew they were very biased on natural childbirth. But I have to say, after reading Jill’s birth story and seeing Anakin’s (perfectly normal sized) head in person, I decided I’m just going to get a damn epidural. Jill got to play pretty contentedly on her Ipad for much of her labor instead of writhing in pain for several hours, so I figured I would rather have that kind of birthing experience. At least with the first one, maybe I’ll get brave next time and say "bring it on!"
After that we went to a get-together at Emilee and Aaron’s place. We watched “The Office” and “Hallpass” and I had a caffeine free soda (Did you know it tastes the same as regular soda? WOOT!) while everyone else enjoyed some gummy bears soaked in vodka. A couple of Aarons friends came that I recognized from Peru
On Sunday I went to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D but I wasn’t all that impressed. It just wasn’t made to be 3D in the first place. I’m not a fan of 3D anyways, I just thought it would be fun to see it in the theater again. Now I’ve had the songs stuck in my head all week.
Tomorrow I want to share my new project but I'm too lazy to take a picture of the fabric right now and I don't want to make my post too long.
