How Far Along: 22 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: about 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound (according to www.babycenter.com)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 17 lbs total as of my 19 week appointment on 1/11. I think I’m going to gain the most with this one! Just call me Big Mama!
Movement: Still the same - I feel her mostly at night or in the morning when I’m laying in bed. When I’m on the go during the day, I don’t feel it nearly as much since she’s still very small with lighter movements.
Sleep: Not good! I think I only sleep for like 2 hours at a time before I either wake up to turn to my other side or to go to the bathroom (mostly the latter!)
Symptoms: Never ending trips to the bathroom, restless sleep, some mild heartburn, “aches and pains” (we’ll just leave it at that – no details there!), sciatic pain every now and then when I move/step just the right (or wrong?) way…AND, I have been sick for part of this week – blah! That is not related to being pregnant, but I just have to document this b/c I have had more illnesses this pregnancy than ever…even years I haven’t been pregnant! I’ve had 3 separate bouts with sinus crud, a week of coughing fits, a stomach bug, and then whatever this was this weekend. I don’t know if it was a minor bug, minor food poisoning or what!! I do know it involved me and a toilet, LOL. I say “minor” b/c it was not as bad as the bug I had 3 weeks ago, but still not fun! Our house has been ridden with germs this winter!
What I miss: sleeping straight through the night and not hurting after being on my feet!
Cravings: I would still love some Mexican food….but alas, have still not had it!
Best moment this week: When I stopped vomiting, LOL
What I am looking forward to: I have an appointment on Thursday that I am looking forward to, although not looking forward to having to take BOTH kids with me! Caleb’s teachers have a conference they’re going to so he doesn’t have school that day. Sure wish I’d known that when I made the appointment.
