I found this pregnancy questionaire on another blog so I thought I’d give it a go and fill it out once a month.<\/p>\n
How Far Along<\/strong>: 26 weeks (26 weeks 3 days to be exact)<\/p>\n Total Weight Gained\/Loss:<\/strong> depends on how you look at it…11 pounds if you go by what I was before I got pregnant and 18 if you go by my first OB appointment after I had lost 7 pounds from morning sickness.<\/p>\n Maternity Clothes:<\/strong> I basically hate clothes in general right now…nothing is comfortable. Luckily since I’m on bed rest I don’t work and can spend my days in T-shirts and comfy shorts. I can’t go shopping for bigger maternity clothes since I’m on bed rest so I only have a few items I can wear. <\/p>\n Sleep<\/strong>: What’s that? I only sleep a few hours at a time before I either get up to go to the bathroom or try to get comfortable. Since I can only sleep on my sides my hips hurt after a while so I have to turn over. I feel like I’m constantly tossing and turning. I also get insomnia so I’ll wake up to go to the bathroom at 2 or 3 and then lay awake for an hour. My doctor did give me something to help me sleep but I can’t take it every night. <\/p>\n Best Moment of the Week<\/strong>: Hearing that I can now be on more of a modified bed rest and can go out to eat every once in a while or run to “the post office” if I need to. And to find out that baby B had doubled his weight in only 4 weeks.<\/p>\n Movement:<\/strong> When don’t they move! The hardest part about it is sometimes I can’t tell who is kicking. The bigger they get, the bigger the kicks, jabs, punches get. Sometimes though, when they roll over it feels like a fluid like movement and kinda tickles.<\/p>\n Food Craving:<\/strong> Not sure if I really have cravings, there are certain foods that I like better than before but nothing that I crave. I do prefer sweets now when I used to prefer salty foods. I like little debbie swiss rolls and cream soda. I have been eating a lot of BBQ since I got pregnant so I guess that would be a craving.<\/p>\n Food aversions:<\/strong> At first it was chicken, anything chicken except fried chicken. I’m getting better with it now but it still isn’t my favorite thing to eat.<\/p>\n Morning sickness:<\/strong> The first 3 to 4 months was 24 hour nausea and vomiting in the evenings – horrible! But the zofran definitely helped me…it didn’t take away the nausea but made it tolerable. Labor Signs:<\/strong> I still have contractions all throughout the day but not nearly as many as when I was working. Laying on the couch the majority of the day has definitely helped.<\/p>\n Belly Button:<\/strong> Reaching maximum capacity. No outtie yet but it is slowly stretching out and disappearing.<\/p>\n Stretch Marks:<\/strong> As of now, none to report and hopefully that will continue! Exercise:<\/strong> My exercise consists of walking from the couch to the kitchen\/bathroom. I haven’t been able to exercise since my first OB appointment at 8 weeks.<\/p>\n What I miss<\/strong>: clothes that fit and feel comfortable<\/p>\n What I’m looking forward to:<\/strong> Besides meeting the boys…my shower next Saturday.<\/p>\n Other NEW news this week:<\/strong> Not much to report. I did get to go to the pool yesterday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I found this pregnancy questionaire on another blog so I thought I’d give it a go and fill it out once a month.
