How far along? 15 weeks and 3 days
Total weight gain/loss? Total gain of 5.5 pound so far. Another 0.8 pounds gained from last Friday, so somehow I'm staying on track. My doctor told me that the "major" weight gain would probably start in another month. Oh joy.
Maternity clothes? Nope!!!! (Insert happy dance here). Now to be fair, I probably could start wearing some maternity clothes (some might argue I should start wearing them). But I still haven't been able to bring myself to haul the bin out of the basement yet. I have however, expanded my maternity clothes closet and bought another fabulous dress this week. If you're pregnant check out Bellydancematernity.com - they have some designer maternity clothes on sale. I bought another Isabella Oliver dress for $95 less than retail! I think it will become a staple in my summer wardrobe. So while I'm excited about these new maternity clothes, I'm just not quite ready to start wearing them.
Stretch marks? Nothing new.
Sleep? Fabulous. I've been fighting off a cold this week so I've been going to bed very early and sleeping for 10-12 hour stretches. It's wonderful! The only thing interrupting my sleep these days is strange sex dreams. What is up with those dreams and pregnancy?!? So odd.
Best moment last week? Realizing I could still fit into my suit for a work event! I was not looking forward to figuring out what to wear for a "business attire" cocktail party at my firm if my suit was too tight.
Movement? Every few days I'll feel Poppy fluttering around, usually at night when I'm laying very still! My doctor said it's still very early to feel any movement.
Food cravings? Roasted tomatoes and milk. But not necessarily together.
Food aversions? Silly question.
Gender? Less than three weeks until we find out! I've been leaning towards thinking Poppy is a girl. Who knows though.
Labor signs? Nope
Belly button in/out? IN.
What I miss: Running. I ran/walked one day last week and it was just not feeling right so I stopped. I've been walking on the treadmill but it seems like such a waste of time because how many calories can one really be burning by walking for 40 minutes? I also still miss wine. Especially during work cocktail parties. Blah.
What I am looking forward to: Finding out if Poppy's a girl or a boy so we can really get into picking out a name. I have a top girl name contender in mind but the boy names are more up in the air. And Mr. Cob refuses to talk to me about it until we know for sure what we're having. He's no fun. I keep doodling names on paper like I'm a 15 year old girl in love.
Milestones: While not baby related at all, we're 25 days into the new year and I've kept most of my resolutions so far! Especially the ones about cooking/not eating out and saving $2000 per month! I'm still working on the patient parenting thing...something tells me that will be a lifetime battle.
$2000 a month savings is INSANE. And awesome. Did I miss the part where you said what y'all are doing with all that cash?
ReplyDeleteNope you didn't miss it...I didn't say. We're trying to build up our savings so we have an "emergency fund". I've been maxing out my 401K for the past few years, but we want to have access to cash should we ever need it so we're upping our savings account deposit every month instead of the 401K. And also we figured we better start adjusting our budget to account for the $1300+ a month we'll need to spend on daycare for #2 starting this Fall...
DeleteI am hoping to replace our kitchen floor soon though if we stay on track with the spending :)
