Here we are today! Went to lunch with my mom at one of my favorite deli's, Rising High.What Aubrey is up to: She weighs in around 1 pound and is approximately 8 inches long... think the size of a baby doll you would buy a little kid! Except she is actually the real thing :) She can perceive light now. She can hear pretty much anything I hear, and all my inner body sounds like my heart beating and tummy rumbling! She is also tasting whatever I eat now, so I've been giving her lots of veggies and fruit! :)
Movement: Aubrey loves to move! It is really easy to tell when she's awake and when she's asleep. She loves to move right when I start to drift off to sleep! But then she pretty much sleeps through the night, except she wakes up a little if I wake up to go to the bathroom, and is awake a lot of the day time! She is always really active in the mornings! She will move around for hours on my days off!
How's Mommy feeling? GREAT!!! I am really enjoying being pregnant! I do not have any nausea anymore. I still have some blood sugar drops, but I am getting pretty good at preventing them. I had a bad one at work a couple weekends ago, and ended up throwing up because I felt so bad, but was back to normal after some juice and some rest. I do have the round ligament pains, OH BOY do those hurt! Usually it's due to me changing position too fast. I haven't been tired or extra hungry. I have some mild backaches at times, probably from doing a little too much at work or not sitting properly in chairs? Also, still fighting the pregnancy acne....HATE IT but it's worth it for little girl!! Also, I've noticed this week some nasal congestion, which I know is normal. Overall, I feel wonderful!!!
Cravings: crab legs (an expensive craving....I've only had them ONCE!), RED GRAPES (that's a big one, I want them ALL the time), and SUSHI!!!!!!! At least I can still have a California Roll, too bad every grocery store I've been to this week has been sold out :( BOO!
Sleep: Pretty good, can't complain too much. This week I haven't been sleeping all too great but I'm not quite sure why. Some nights I sleep good, other times I'm awake after a few hours. Maybe it's because I have more energy?!
Total Weight Gain: At my last appointment when we found out we were having a girl, I was a little over 19 weeks and had gained 2.5 pounds so far. I was happy with that!! I go back next Wednesday so I'll update that then. By the way, the ultrasound lady estimated Aubrey to weigh 10 oz. then, and about 6 1/2 inches which was right on target :)
Maternity Clothes: I DEFINITELY have to wear my maternity capris... I need to get another pair, but they're pretty expensive!! Ryan makes fun of me because he says "you sure got your money's worth out of those!!" I practically wear them everyday when I'm off. My scrubs are getting tight too..... I'm going to order some Grey's Anatomy maternity scrub pants today! I can still wear regular tops.
What I Miss: sleeping on my tummy! oh and a glass of wine sounds good & relaxing right about now!
Best Moments Lately: getting to spend more time with Ryan now that I'm working weekends. I love seeing him interested in the pregnancy. He is always trying to feel her move, and he has been able to a lot more lately. The other night I was taking a quick nap before we headed to a friend's house and he told me he was going to turn the vacuum on for a second to get the sand out of his shoes. When he cut it on, Aubrey spazzed out! She hit and kicked me! haha!!
What I'm Looking Forward To: my birthday next Friday & getting into our new house soon!!!! I always look forward to doctor's appointments too, which is next Wednesday!
