Moving right along with Dv2.0…
- How far along? 18 weeks, 6 days
- Total weight gain: Haven’t weighed myself this week, but hopefully it’s not a whole lot more than the 15 lbs. (ugh!!) I was up as of last week. As you can see though, my butt has begun its expansion again. Why? I’m not carrying a baby back there, geez.
- Maternity clothes? More and more. I’ll take stretchy pants over regular ones held up with a Be-Band any day, so they’re becoming a staple. With D I didn’t wear maternity pants exclusively until 22 weeks, but I doubt I’ll last that long this time. Regular tops are still fine. I did just buy a whole new round of maternity gear this week so I am looking forward to its arrival.
- Stretch marks? Thankfully, no. I didn’t get any from D, so hopefully Dv2.0 doesn’t give me any either.
- Sleep: When D sleeps through the night (which is almost always), it’s pretty good. Sometimes I have to get up to pee, but that isn’t a constant yet.
- Best moment this week: Getting my hair trimmed and the grays covered back up tonight. Finally! (yes, i get my hair dyed while pregnant. it’s ok.)
- Miss anything? Beer, especially now that the weather’s warming up.
- Movement: Started feeling some tiny flutters here and there during week 16, which is about 3-4 weeks earlier than I felt D move. Still not very regular or strong yet.
- Cravings: In general, no, but when I get really hungry I want protein – meat, cheese, etc.
- Aversions: Food, no. Smells, not nearly as bad as last time, fortunately. I just get sick of scents quickly and have to get rid of them completely.
- Gender: Not finding out.
- Labor signs: No.
- Symptoms: Still a little heartburn off and on, but it’s pretty fleeting. I have started getting sacro-iliac pain already though, which is much earlier than I experienced it with D. Especially if I’m really active during the day, it hurts my butt to stand up and walk by the night. Literally.
- Belly button in or out? In. Never went fully out with D, just a little crooked.
- Wedding rings on or off? On.
- Looking forward to: Ultrasound next week.
Oh my goodness… if I didn’t feel giant before, I certainly do now! You look better at almost 19 weeks pregnant than I did before I was pregnant. You go, girl!
@thehhhousewife Oh hush! I’m just really tall, there’s a lot of room for everything to spread out. 😉 But thank you! It’s fun having someone so close in pregnancy days with whom to keep following.
