I decided this would be a great way for everyone to see weekly updates on the pregnancy, and pictures of my soon to be quickly growing belly!
Right now, I'm not showing much. Jeans definitely don't fit anymore, and it just looks like I've had too many burritos lately :).
So, let's kick this thing off with the questions I'll be filling in each week.
Have you started to show yet? Definitely not a full 'bump'. It's obvious to Erin and I, but so far nothing to note.
Total weight gain/loss: I've actually lost weight, but I feel like I've gained 5lbs!
Food cravings: Cheese, cheese, and more cheese. Carbs are definitely my favorite right now too, since it really makes me feel less nauseous.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Unfortunately, any red meat. This started 2 weeks ago, when I was making fajitas for dinner. Erin loves steak, so he likes having it ready-made for snacks. This is really tough for me so if he's eating it near me, I just have to go find something to do for a few minutes.
Miss Anything? Wine. I just really want a big ol' glass right before bed, especially because it's been so busy with work lately.
Mood: Actually great. I'm not AS tired as I've been the last few weeks, and my moods seem somewhat level right now.
Sleep: Off and on. My sciatica has been flaring up, so I've had to sleep on my right side only. I normally sleep on my left, so that's been strange. I've ordered a pregnancy pillow, and hopefully this will help me sleep better, no matter what side I'm on.
Best moment this week: So far nothing super exciting this week, except for the lessened fatigue.
Annoyances: Not being able to do very thorough workouts, because my back hurts so bad. I've been walking and doing weights/squats, but trying not to overdo it because it's really been aggravating the nerve.
Maternity clothes? Just a few items so far. I've only worn one pair of jeans that I got a couple of weeks ago, when I'm too bloated for normal jeans with a bella band.
Movement: Nope! I don't think I'll feel anything for a few weeks.
Gender Predictions: I think it's a girl, and Erin thinks its a boy :)
Looking forward to: Heading down to Napa next week for work! It'll be nice to see my family (first time seeing them since announcing the pregnancy) and see new wineries for work. Although I don't get to taste any wine... :(
