22 Weeks

Due Date: July 24th, 2012

Weight Gain:  Total of 6 lbs

Symptoms:  The baby has been kicking a lot...mostly at night.  I am officially out of my regular pants and into maternity pants everyday. 

What's different this time: We found out that I have partial placenta previa...hopefully it corrects itself in the coming weeks and we can proceed with the normal birth we want. We will have another ultrasound in a few weeks to check on it.

Cravings/Aversions:  Nothing new...just ice cream and cereal on and off. 

Sleep: I have more energy in the morning to get things done. I have still been taking 2-3 naps a week with Oliver. 

I am loving:  That the weather is nice now to be outside a lot! Also loving that I am feeling the baby move pretty consistently now.

I miss: nothing this week...

I am looking forward to: My next ultrasound in a few weeks to see if the placenta has moved. Also looking forward to getting started on getting the nursery painted and ready/organized for the baby. 

Best thing about this week: I've been sticking to a consistent work out schedule and seem to have more energy! I've been getting a lot done around the house!

Milestones: The baby looked good in the 20 week ultrasound, baby is kicking and I am officially looking pregnant.

Movement: yes

It's a...: we'll find out in July!

Exercise: Going to the gym every other day, taking walks more

Diet: Pretty good....still eating a lot of fruit...now craving watermelon so I can't wait until they are in season!

20 Weeks

Due Date: July 24th, 2012

Weight Gain:  Total of 3 lbs so far

Symptoms:  Baby moving! Eating more, sleeping more and belly popping out. 


What's different this time: I have a 4 year old! I also feel like this baby is a lot lower than Oliver was....perhaps sitting on my bladder.

Cravings/Aversions:  I have really been craving cereal...Cheerios, Raisin Bran, Granola, Oatmeal. I'm not a huge cereal eater when I'm not pregnant...I think I've eaten more cereal in the last 2 months than I have over the past 3 years!  I have also been drinking a lot of juice lately....I am normally not a juice drinker...but now I want grapefruit, cranberry, or apple juice every day.

Sleep: I try to take a short nap on my days off work and I do get over 8 hours of sleep at night. I am soaking up all the sleep while I can!

I am loving:  That I am feeling the baby move around....it is still pretty inconsistent but I'm guessing in the next couple of weeks it will really pick up.

I miss: Being able to climb the stairs at work without losing my breath. 

I am looking forward to: Our ultra-sound next week!



Best thing about this week: Feeling the baby move, getting lots of walks in while the weather is so nice.

Milestones: Feeling the baby !  20 weeks! Halfway there!

Movement: Yes

It's a...: we'll find out in July!

Exercise: Walking outside more, trying to get to the gym 3 days a week too.

Diet: Pretty good...eating breakfast everyday...maybe too many dessert-y type items though...
