Round 2: 22 weeks

How far along:   22 weeks

Baby Size:  Papaya or a box of mac n cheese.

Weight:  Up a pound from last week; About 12 pounds total.

Symptoms:  

• Gas pains
• Sciatic nerve pain
• Wild wild dreams
• Lack of patience with Rob.

Maternity Clothes:  Mostly maternity tops, and almost all bottoms.  I just got some lularoe leggings in and I am loving them!

Sleep:  Up every hour and a half to two hours

Cravings/Food Aversions:  Trying to cut back on the sweets.  I've had a few days this week where what sounds good at the time no longer is appealing once it's made.

Belly Button:  Still in

Rings on or off: On

Gender:  Lately I lean more towards girl, but there are some days I am convinced it's a boy.  I did have a dream last night it was a girl though.  

If I ask Eleanor she will almost always say girl.

Name:  Yes to boy, maybe to girl?

Movement: Yep!  No kicks but lots of thumping and bumping.  The other day Eleanor was in bed with us after she woke up and she was giggling so loud and the baby was giving me some strong movements. 

Stretch Marks: The ones on my belly are darkening already. 

Best moment:  Feeling more movement.

Looking forward to:  Viability in 2 weeks!

Nervous about: Being off of work and having no income (other than Rob's)

What I miss:  Holding Eleanor without being uncomfortable.


Labor signs:  Nope

Appointments:   Next week, on the 7th which is also Eleanor's birthday!

Misc. 

Round 2: 16 weeks

How far along:  16 weeks!

Baby Size: A can of soda - Dr pepper please! Or an avocado.

Weight:  I'm up between 5 and 6 lbs.

Symptoms:   Gas and the pains that come with it, still nausea at random times.  My restless legs have been a little less obnoxious this week also. 

Maternity Clothes: Shorts, and some tops

Sleep:  It's gotten better at night.  Naps are basically not even worth it because they don't help me at all.  Still not enough though. 

Cravings/Food Aversions:  No strong cravings yet.

Belly Button:  In

Rings on or off:  Although I don't often wear them, I still can. 

Gender:  Lately I've been leaning more towards boy.

Name:  Boy name yes, girl name maybe

Movement: I kind of wish I wouldn't have felt those movements last week because I've felt nothing this week and of course my mind goes to those bad places.  

Stretch Marks: So many thanks to Eleanor

Best moment:  Not baby related, but my friend was in town over the weekend for the first time in 6 months.  So nice seeing her

Looking forward to:  Seeing the baby again next month.

Nervous about: I get irrationally worried with all the twinges and cramps.  

What I miss:  Totally random, but when Eleanor would be whiny I would just pop her on my back in the carrier and It's been uncomfortable lately and she's been having clingy moments and wanting to be held.


Labor signs:  Nope

Appointments:  September 10th for a prenatal appt, and September 11th for the anatomy scan/

Misc. I had a sip of Rob's beer over the weekend.  It was that root beer beer that everyone raves about and is hard to find.  His mom had given him a bottle.  I just had a small sip and it was really good (and I don't like beer) and then he told me to have another so I did.  I probably had the equivalent of 1/2 oz but I still felt like I was being naughty.  It's also the only alcohol I've had since I found out I was pregnant at 3 1/2 weeks.
